Lee is the first qualifier to win any Grand Slam boys\u2019 tournament since Noah Rubin did it at Wimbledon in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cStanding here with the trophy means a lot because very few people know what I\u2019ve been through this past year and a half, dealing with a lot of injuries,\u201d Lee said in an on-court interview. \u201cA year ago at this time I was sitting at home on the couch, didn\u2019t know if I was going to play tennis again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old Hewitt is the son of 2002 Wimbledon men\u2019s champion Lleyton Hewitt, who was in the stands at No. 1 Court. The Australian was up an early break in the deciding set but Lee broke back for 4-4 and then again in the final game.<\/p>
