Rising tennis star Jade Lewis gets $500k boost from Seed Foundation DAVID LONGGETTY IMAGES Jade Lewis is regarded as New Zealand's big tennis hope. New Zealand's big tennis hope Jade Lewis will receive around $500,000 of funding over the next three years to help her get to the top. Jade Lewis' mother is Italian, while she's spent enough time in America to play under the Stars and Stripes flag. The only other player who the Seed Foundation could have justifiably supported over the last decade was Cameron Norrie. Lewis is ranked 1016 in the world and is currently playing small ITF tournaments in Europe to boost that ranking.
