She is his biggest fan and has been cheering him on at the Rod Laver Arena.

And on day seven of the Australian Open, Bec watched her tennis ace husband Lleyton Hewitt's third round match wearing a big smile and a pair of crucifix earrings.

The 32-year-old former Home And Away star was every inch the doting wife as she supported her husband of ten years from the stands as he crashed out of the men's doubles after playing with Sam Groth against Vasek Pospisil of Canada and Jack Sock of the United States.

Eye on the ball: Bec Hewitt watched her tennis ace husband Lleyton at the Australian Open wearing a big smile and a pair of crucifix earrings at the Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on Sunday

The former singer led Lleyton's cheer squad as he bounced around on Margaret court.

Keeping her eyes on the ball, the mother-of-three beamed broadly as she whooped and cheered in the sunshine wearing a white vest and pale jeans.

Despite shielding her gaze beneath a cap and dark shades, she struck a happy demeanour from the stands but was later seen looking tense as she talked to pals in the break.

Support: Wearing a cap and dark shades, she looked engrossed in conversation

The couple's children ten-year-old daughter Mia, seven-year-old son Cruz and daughter daughter Ava were not where to be seen as Bec looked on as Lleyton crashed out of the doubles.

On Thursday she was seen again at the Melbourne Park arena blowing her husband kisses as their children looked on.

The couple's seven-year-old son Cruz also cheered his father on, waving the Australian flag proudly from his seat.

While youngest daughter Ava appeared to give the match a miss, the sportsman was also supported by his parents Glynn and Cherilyn and sister Jaslyn.

Lleyton is now set to retire after his elimination in this tournament.

Once the five-set king of tennis, Hewitt has lost his past six matches that have gone the distance and even his most loyal of fan must have been edgy when Duckworth led 4-2 in the third set.

But, not for the first time, the baseline warrior rallied back to win four straight games and raise the roof after clinching his first grand slam win since last year's Open with a trademark topspin lob on match point.

'This is what I'm going to miss most - this adrenaline buzz of coming out here,' Lleyton said last week.

'Hearing Craig Willis announce you from Australia and the whole crowd erupts. It doesn't get any better than that.'

He also admitted it'd been difficult not to get distracted by the fanfare and emotion of the occasion, saying: 'It was a tough situation to try and block out everything else that's going on'.
