Bob Morgan performs well at Kooyong by David Graham
Playing in the Victorian Seniors Clay Championships at Kooyong (29/10-1/11) Bob Morgan playing on his least favoured surface faced a set down 6/4 and a break down at 5/3 in the second set before he staged a brilliant comeback to take the second set 7/5 and then held serve and got on top of his more fancied Melbourne opponent to take the third set 6/2 to win his quarter final match.
In the 70 doubles (drawing a local partner) Bob worked hard to hold up his partner covering all the lobs and short cross court returns to win 6/2 6/0 in their first match. After a three hour singles and doubles Bob paired with David Graham both finding the going tough to lose their first round 60 Men’s doubles match. David had earlier in the day won a three and a half hour marathon in the 60 men’s singles winning 6/3 3/6 6/2.
In the semifinal of the 70 men’s singles Bob lost to the No 1 seed Wayne Hassett 6/1 6/2. For his efforts Bob now has a World ranking of 566 and Australian ranking of 33 in the 70 men’s singles. Well done Bob
