With racket in hand, a cheer squad in the stands and his stomach in his throat, Hughesy stepped onto Margaret Court at Rod Laver Arena to take on tennis champion Todd Woodbridge. Hughesy had a personal psychologist, coach, physiotherapist, cheerleaders, aggressive dad and ball boys but they were no use! Hughesy lost in straight sets to the champ. However, he won two games, threw his racket a couple of times and got slapped by his 9-year old coach...so there was some joy!
