SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- World No. 2 tennis player Lleyton Hewitt will marry his television star girlfriend Bec Cartwright in a ceremony at the Sydney Opera House Wednesday afternoon.

The wedding at the picturesque setting will be followed by a quick cruise across Sydney Harbor to Taronga Zoo for a reception.

Guests at the wedding are reported to include fellow Australian tennis players Todd Woodbridge and Wayne Arthurs.

Hewitt, 24, and Cartwright, 21, announced their engagement in January, just three months after Hewitt ended a four-year long relationship with fellow tennis star Beligian Kim Clijsters.

Hewitt popped the question shortly after losing the 2005 Australian Open final to Russian Marat Safin.

In May this year, Cartwright revealed that she was pregnant and quit her role on the long-running Australian soap opera series "Home and Away."

When not on the international tennis circuit, the couple intend to live in a home they bought recently on Sydney's northern beaches.
