Upon return to Melbourne from South Africa, it was back to recuperating from his lower leg injury and trying to train, for Greg. His leg still gives him trouble but the Dr. advised that it will heal slowly if the leg is not unduly stressed and Greg can hit on the courts but should avoid hard physical training. His leg hurts after use but it is bearable and ok during play, so he will have to "suck-it-and-see".
After a holiday break and court training collectively of almost three weeks, Greg once again jetted off this time bound for Busan, Korea for a $75k Challenger tournament.
Greg's first round opponent was the No. 8 seed, 26 year-old German Andreas Begemann, currently ranked 258, with a high rank of 166 last year.
The first set was a tight won, with a tiebreak ensuing, Greg getting the slight edge and winning the tie-break 7-4, to win the first set 7-6.
In the second Greg upped the play and was able to take his opportunities, breaking Begemann twice to win the set 6-2 and advance to the second round with a well fought 7-6, 6-2 win.
