Meet an “Amazing” Who Refuses to Let Age Slow Him Down

Bob Acorn, 90, not only plays tennis for an hour twice a week, but up until just a couple of years ago, also used to cycle the fifteen kilometers from his house to the tennis courts and back home again.

And we’re not talking moseying around the court either; according to his regular tennis group, Bob serves with vigor, chases the ball around the court with gusto, and smacks that ball down, no problem.

He jokes that he’s not sure if it’s endurance or stupidity that keeps him going, but one thing he is certain of; “if you don’t use it, you lose it.” A man with a ready smile and a big laugh, Bob feels lucky to be so active, and has no desire to retire his racket any time soon.
