NZ Sporting History: NZ tennis great Chris Lewis

From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 31 March 2022

Today for NZ Sporting History we're joined by one of the most successful New Zealand tennis players of all time. 

Among many career highlights, Chris Lewis is perhaps best known for the incredible tennis he played in the 1983 Wimbledon tournament - making it to the final against John McEnroe as an unseeded player. 

Chris speaks to Jesse from California, where he runs a tennis academy.
