Lewis goes through
NZPA-Reuter Hamburg The New Zealander, Chris Lewis, had a good first day at the $U5250,000 ($NZ380,000) West German Open tennis championships yesterday winning against the Czech, Jaro Navratil in straight sets. Lewis beat Navratil, 6-3, 7-6. But the day was most notable for a dramatic collapse of the Swedish con-
tingent, with two seeded Swedes knocked out in the first round. Stefan Edberg, the eleventh seed and the world’s No. 29, fell, 7-6, 6-4, to the West German Davis Cup player, Damir Keretic, a wild card entry and ranked only 185th. Earlier, Fernando Luna of Spain crushed the sixteenth seed, Joakim Nystrom, 6-3, 6-3.
