Hewitt, a two-time Grand Slam champion, insisted the governing body needed a change of leadership to reverse Australia's steady decline in the sport.
"For me, the only way forward right at the moment is change and you have to start with change at the top," Hewitt told Macquarie radio.
"They have got to open their eyes now and have a good look at themselves and see where the sport is going," he added.
Hewitt had openly called for Pollard's ousting as head of Tennis Australia, a position he has held since 1989. The 65-year-old beat rival Paul McNamee in a secret ballot of state delegates on Monday to win another year in office.
