The late Mr Gordon W. Wright – Noted tennis player

By Matthew H. Marsh

The death, which occurred last night after a long Illness, of Mr Gordon W. Wright, removes another link with the old school of tennis players. He excelled in doubles, holding the New South Wales Championships six times – with Granville Sharpe in 1903, 1904 and 1906, and with Alfred B. Jones in 1909, 1913, and 1915. He was orthodox and safe, rather than brilliant – one of those dependable partners who never failed in the pinches.
