Aussie Autumn 2016 - Mornington F3 #5

Mornington Tennis Club
 After the singles match on Thursday it was back onto court for Greg, partnering Andrew Whittington, who is ranked a tidy 205 in the doubles, whilst Greg is still unranked after losing all his ranking points during his period of injury. In the semi-finals in the Mornington F3, they were up against fellow Aussies Scott Puodziunas and Callum Puttergill, ranked 956 and 1048 respectively.

Greg and Andrew were in the zone early on in the match, Greg seeing the ball extremely well after his singles match, and they raced to a 5-0 lead, after dominating and breaking their opponents twice. Puodziunas and Puttergill got on the score board but could not prevent Greg and Andrew serving out the set 6-1.

Puodziunas and Puttergill then managed to hold their opening service game in the second set, and forced Greg and Andrew to face deciding point at deuce in the next set but Greg and Andrew held firm, winning the point to level at 1-1. Greg and Andrew then dominated the match again, breaking Puodziunas and Puttergill to ease out to a break advantage, then repeating the dose to go 5-1 up, eventually winning the match, in which they were the front runners all the way, 6-1, 6-2.
So into his second final in consecutive tournaments for Greg, albeit this week in the doubles.
