Lleyton pops the question

THE first couple of tennis, Lleyton Hewitt and Kim Clijsters, are to wed.

Former world champion Hewitt proposed yesterday to world No.2 Clijsters while on a cruise on Sydney Harbour.

Hewitt's management company Octagon last night confirmed that the pair, who have been friends for four years in January, are to wed.

No date has been set for the union of the former world No.1 ranked players.

"It was a special evening together in one of the most beautiful cities in the world," the 22-year-old Hewitt said. "We couldn't have asked for more."

Clijsters, 20, was overjoyed but still expressed some surprise at the trouble Hewitt went to with setting up the proposal.

"Lleyton did surprise me a bit but I couldn't be happier," she said.

"He has always been one to pay great attention to detail but I think he outdid himself this time.

"It was amazing."

Hewitt and Clijsters are the most high profile playing couple on the circuit.

They are regular practice partners and have played in mixed doubles tournaments - the highlight being their 2000 Wimbledon final appearance.

They had declared they were an item just weeks before at the French Open.

The relationship rivals that of Jimmy Connors who proposed to Chris Evert in the 1970s. The US pair were both world No.1s at the same time.

Tennis's other big love match is Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.

Sports industry insiders believe Hewitt and Clijsters could become the most marketable tennis couple in the world because their best years still are ahead.

Hewitt last night told his parents - Glynn and Cherilyn - while Clijsters also was busy telephoning her family in Belgium.

"Both sets of parents are very pleased," Glynn Hewitt said last night.

Hewitt's Adelaide-based family are not alone in welcoming Clijsters to the Australian fold. Even before the wedding news, many fans considered her an honorary Aussie.
