Veteran Russell Moseley displayed tremendous grit and shrewd play to earn a come-from-behind victory in the ICBL Senior Tennis Open men’s final over Stephen Slocombe 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Wednesday night at the National Tennis Centre, Wildey.

Slocombe dismissed Moseley’s advantage in the third game to quickly lead 3-0 with the threat of rain remaining constant. (KB)
