Confusion over name
PA Auckland; The New Zealand Davis; Cup tennis star, Chris I Lewis, spent Christmas in Florida — not on the centre court at Melbourne. A report from the Australian Associated Press in Melbourne yesterday told of ' Lewis playing on the centre court against the top seed, i Guillermo Vilas, of Argen- • tina. But it was once again a case of mistaken identity —
both players have the name [Chris Lewis. The Chris Lewis in the ■ Australian Open at Melbourne was the young American who is ranked well below the New Zealand Lewis on the Association of Tennis Professional computer rankings. It is not the first time confusion has been caused by the identical names of both the Lewises who are separated only by about two or three years in age.
