NEWPORT (US) AFP: Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt defeated second seed Ivo Karlovic 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-3) on Sunday to win the US$474,000 (RM1.5mil) ATP Hall of Fame Championships.

After runner-up finishes the past two years, Hewitt finally captured the Hall of Fame title, although it took a 2 1/2-hour battle after the Australian faltered while serving for the match in the second set and squandered two match points on Karlovic's serve.
