Australian Lleyton Hewitt had a little help during his Hopman Cup match at Perth Arena Tuesday from an unexpected source: his opponent, Jack Sock.

In the first set, Hewitt was up 30-0 and served. The judge ruled a fault. “That was in, if you want to challenge it,” Sock said. Hewitt looked stunned.
