Lewis eliminated
NZPA-Reuter Rome Italy’s Francesco Cancellotti, followed up his success over Mats Wilander, of Sweden, by eliminating the New Zealander, Chris Lewis, the twelfth seed, 6-3, 7-5, in the third round of the Italian open tennis championships yesterday. Four South Americans contest the quarter-finals of the championship today — along with the home favourites, Cancellotti and Claudio Panatta, whose elder brother, Adriano, won the title in 1976.
Panatta beat a young Swede, Stefan Simonsson, 6-4, 7-5, in the third round
and now faces a difficult match against the world number eight, Andres Gomez, of Ecuador, one of the few surviving seeds. Cancellotti plays a 16-year-old American, Aaron Krickstein, the youngest player on the grand prix circuit. Krickstein gained a straight-sets victory over Sweden’s Joakim Nystrom. In the two other quarterfinals, Diego Perez, of Uruguay, the conqueror of the third seed, Yannick Noah, of France, meets an American, Mark Dickson, and JoseLuis Clerc, of Argentina, seeded eighth, meets Pablo Arraya, of Peru.
