Biography
Mior, an Israeli Jew from Haifa, developed his game at the Tennis Academy in Tel Aviv. He had a win over Gustavo Kuerten in his junior career.
On the professional tour he competed mostly at Challenger level and won a total of five titles, two in singles and three in doubles. His Challenger career also included wins against Nicolás Massú and Radek Štěpánek. He made occasional appearances in ATP Tour tournaments, the first in 1996 when he played in the doubles draw of the Israel Open in Tel Aviv, with Nir Welgreen. In 1998, after getting past Taylor Dent in qualifying, Mor played in the main singles draw in Long Island, where he lost in the first round to world number 28 Francisco Clavet. He featured in both the singles and doubles at the 2000 RCA Championships in Indianapolis.
Mor represented the Israel Davis Cup team in one tie, against Bulgaria in Sofia in 2000. The tie, which was a Europe/Africa Zone relegation play-off, was won by Israel 3–2. Mor, who lost his first singles match, won the deciding fifth rubber for Israel in straight sets, over Todor Enev.
For many years he was captain and coach of the Israel Fed Cup team. He coached Tzipora Obziler and Shahar Pe'er at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
