Tennis: New head for Seed Foundation

New Zealand tennis funding organisation the Seed Foundation has appointed former national representative David Lewis as executive director.

Lewis will be charged with ensuring further growth and efficient management for the foundation as it heads into its third year of supporting rising tennis talent.

Top New Zealand women Marina Erakovic and Sacha Jones have each received six-figure sums in the last two years to help with coaching, travel and accommodation. Financial support comes from individual donations and endowments and corporate partner ASB.
