USA Campaign 2010 - Update #14

Savannah, Georgia, on the east coast of the USA was the next stop for Greg. With a high level of top ranked players in this $50k Challenger, Greg was fortunate in the draw in the singles, missing a seeded player, drawn against talented 19 year-old Canadian Vasek Pospisil, currently ranked 296 but boasting 5 titles in the lower $10k futures level tournaments last year.
On a rain interrupted day it was Pospisil who took the initiative, breaking Greg's serve early to go ahead 3-1.Then the heavens opened up and play was suspended for the day.
Much work for Greg to do tomorrow when play resumes but plenty of time still left in which to get back into the match. More news tomorrow...
Resuming today Greg was unable to get back the break-of serve in the 1st set, still getting his "clay" feet in his first clay tournament of the year, losing the 1st set to Pospisil 6-4.
Greg obviously took just a set to get into the clay groove as he raced through the 2nd set, breaking Pospisil twice to win it 6-1. He then repeated the dose in the 3rd set, winning the set 6-2 and the match 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.
He plays doubles with Rubin Statham later today.
