Lleyton Hewitt's return to tennis after recent foot surgery has proving to be a great success so far, as he advanced to the quarter-finals of the Gerry Weber Open in Germany.

Hewitt easily saw off opponent Andreas Seppi 6-4 6-4 in one hour, 20 minutes. 

After the match he said he'd felt quite comfortable on the court and noticed that each time he comes back form injuries, his ball-striking returns quickly and easily for him. 

Hewitt was play the German favourite Philipp Kohlschreiber next.
