The last time a New Zealand tennis player featured in the world's top 10 was more than a century ago when Anthony Wilding won the last of his four Wimbledon titles in 1913. He also remains the only New Zealander to win a Grand Slam singles title. A new juniors tournament starts in Auckland tomorrow where it is hoped future stars can be discovered who could then end the country's Grand Slam drought. Sebastian Lavie is the founder of the Lavie Tennis Academy which helped to establish the tournament.
