TOP coach Darren Cahill believes his old teammate Lleyton Hewitt has the capacity to cause major damage at the upcoming Australian Open in the wake of his recent victory in Brisbane.
The ESPN analyst believes the Australian has the potential to cause upsets at the event but working against him winning the event is his unseeded status.
Cahill said he has never seen Hewitt as fit and focussed as his is in the lead-up to the biggest tennis event in the country.

"This is the fittest and hungriest and most focussed l have seen him in six or seven years. Basically since he got into the final here in 2005,'' Cahill said this week.
"He looks injury free, he looks happy on the court, delighted to be playing at this level again. He worked incredibly hard over the past three or four months to put himself into a position where he at least gives himself a shot.''

But Cahill is hesitant to predict a fairytale finish to the tournament for the 32-year-old.
"I am not sure he can go all the way because I would say that about everyone who is outside the top four,'' Cahill said.
"To win these majors if you are outside the top four in the seeding, you have to go through three of these major players to win a major.
"I think Lleyton is capable of beating one of them, maybe two of them. But to beat three of them is a big ask.
"But he is very capable of causing a lot of damage.''
Hewitt goes into the Australian Open as the highest ranked Australian after his victory over Roger Federer in the Brisbane International last weekend.
Hewitt, now ranked 43rd in the world, jumped 17 places after his victory to overtake Bernard Tomic as the top ranked Australian.
