African Expedition - Update #1

After a week battling to recover from an injury to his lower left leg, and given the all clear by the Tennis Australian Doctor but still under treatment Greg flew off to the Johannesburg, for his first senior tournament on the African continent, a $50k Challenger to be held at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Soweto.
Greg received a favourable first round draw, up against 19 year-old wild card recipient, Renier Moolman from South Africa, currently ranked 1187 in the ATP singles rankings.

It was a good hit-out for Greg, still nursing the injury, and he was always in command, holding serve well and breaking Moolman twice in each set to run out a comfortable 6-3, 6-2 winner.

In the doubles Greg has paired with American Rajeev Ram and will play the first round doubles match on Tuesday afternoon.
