Lleyton Hewitt's foot problems are back and it's believed he will make a last minute decision at Wimbledon next week as to whether he will play.

Hewitt underwent surgery on the foot back in March, and seemed to be recovered when playing in Halle, Germany last week.

However he was forced to quit his match half-way through a warm-up event in Eastbourne on Tuesday this week, because of the searing pain which kicked-in despite taking pain-killers before playing.

Hewitt is now receiving constant treatment on his foot in the hope that he will be fit to play Wimbledon next week.
