The second round of qualifying in Auckland had Greg matched up against another veteran, USA's 34 ear-old Michael Russell, currently ranked 87 on the ATP rankings. Russell has been a constant in the upper levels of the top 100 over the past four years, with a high rank of 60 in 2007. Extremely fit and quick, Russell relies on his movement and "never-miss" ethos to wear his opponent down. A tough match for Greg.
It was then a very relieved Greg who advised that Russell had withdrawn and that he had received a walk-over into the final round of qualifying. A lucky break for Greg, something he has not had for awhile, which will give Greg the opportunity to recover further from yesterday's three set match and to prepare for his next match.
