NEWPORT, R.I. — Two-time Grand Slam title winner Lleyton Hewitt led the fan voting for the International Tennis Hall of Fame’s Class of 2021 and will get a bonus of 3% added to his tally from the official voting group.
The Hall announced the results of four weeks of fan voting Wednesday. Lisa Raymond finished second and gets a 2% boost to her official vote, and Jonas Bjorkman was third and so gets a bonus of 1%.
Juan Carlos Ferrero and Sergi Bruguera are also on the ballot in the player category.
Players need 75% support from the official voting group -- which includes tennis media and historians -- to be elected to the Hall, and the fan vote can help push someone over that threshold.
