Teenage nieces of a Kiwi Wimbledon finalist are making an impact on the United States junior tennis scene.
Carolina and Jade Lewis moved from Auckland to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina a year ago when their father David Lewis won the job of head coach at the newly-opened Ivan Lendl International Junior Tennis Academy.
David is a former professional tennis player and the brother of Wimbledon 1983 finalist Chris Lewis.
Carolina, 15, and Jade, 13, now train four or five hours a day and have played more than 100 matches in the US.
Both have big dreams. Jade wants to play professionally, while Carolina aspires to emulate New Zealand tennis No 1 Marina Erakovic.
