Greg's first challenge in the singles of Orange Park $10k Futures was a rising star of USA tennis, young 17 year-old Noah Rubin, who has a high ranking of 6 in the ITF juniors, with a rank of 1048 on the ATP tour. Greg will need to bring his experience to the fore in this match.

Young Noah Rubin |
Greg was quickly into the match and broke Rubin early and holding his own serve to consolidate and lead in the set. Another break of serve saw Greg go even further ahead and then win the first set 6-2.
It was much of the same in the second set, with Greg too strong for young Rubin, who held his own but in the end Greg's experience told and he won the second set 6-3.

In the second round of the doubles, played the same day, Greg and mate Greg Ouellette were up against a Latvian twins, 18 year-olds Janis and Martins Podzus, currently ranked 1510 in doubles. The "Gregs" were too strong and experienced for the Twins, the No.1 seeds running out comfortable 6-3, 6-4 winners, to advance to the quarter-final round of the doubles.
Anyday Greg wins two matches in a day is a good day for Jonesie.
