Maccabi Australia sent Tom Danos and Robert Kohn to represent Australia and they enjoyed the opportunity to compete at the highest level in the over 65’s Master’s Tennis category.
Both men put up a good performance, winning their first-round matches and fighting hard in their second rounds, but falling short to miss out of progressing into the next round.
