The second round of the doubles followed less tahn two hours after their singles match but both Greg and Peter were fatigued after their epic duel in the singles in the heat of the day.

Their opponents were the 4th seeds, Australian giant 27 year-old Chris Guccione and local lad 22 year-old Matt Reid, a good friend of Greg since junior days. If the 6'7" Davis Cup veteran Guccione was in good serving form, backed up by his solid partner, it was going to be a tough battle for their fatigued opponents.

And so it proved to be. Greg and Peter could not make any in-roads to Guccione and Reid's serve and were broken twice in the first set, losing the set 6-1.
They second set fared no better, with Guccione and Reid dominating their own service games and then breaking Greg and Peter, to take an early lead. They broke twice more to repeat the scoreline in the 2nd set, winning a quick match 6-1, 6-1.
A disappointing performance from Greg and Peter who needed to be at their best to tackle the 4th seeds.
