Australian tennis champion Lleyton Hewitt has pulled out of the Masters Cup due to the impending birth of his first child. Hewitt's wife, Rebecca Cartwright, is due to give birth over the next two weeks. Hewitt said in his withdrawal statement that "I am extremely disappointed. With my baby due in the next two weeks, it is not possible for me to come." Hewitt has won the Masters Cup twice, in 2001 and 2002. Hewitt will be replaced on the 8-man tournament by Argentinian Gaston Gaudio, who's ranked 9th in the world. Source: news.yahoo.com
