Tennis stars Lleyton Hewitt and Kim Clijsters are set to marry after Hewitt proposed during a romantic cruise in Sydney harbour, it was reported on Wednesday.
Australian former world number one Hewitt and Belgian world number two Clijsters decided to tie the knot almost four years after meeting at the 2000 Australian Open, according to Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper.
”It was a special evening together in one of the most beautiful cities in the world,” Hewitt (22) told the newspaper. ”We couldn’t have asked for more.”
Clijsters (20) said she was surprised but overjoyed at the proposal.
”He has always been one to pay great attention to detail but I think he outdid himself this time,” she said.
Hewitt’s management company told a local radio station that no date has been set for the wedding. — Sapa-AFP
