After half a week recuperating and buying a new Apple laptop computer in Tiburon, north of San Francisco, it was off south for Greg, down the coast to California to Calabasas, north of Los Angeles for the next Challenger tournament.Greg said he was still feeling the effects of the injury to his achilles heel but it was improving every day.
Scheduled to play on Tuesday it was not until late in the day on Wednesday that Greg took to the courts for his 1st round match, due to persistent rain in the area.
His opposition was 18 year-old American youngster Daniel Kosakowski, currently at his high ranking of 732 in the ATP rankings. New on the tournament scene, Kosakowski had reached the final of a Futures Tournament the previous week and had come through qualifying to reach the main draw, so is a rising talent to be watched, but hopefully not at Greg's expense in this tournament.
In the end it was good draw for Greg as he dominated both sets in winning 6-2, 6-3. Greg said he had played well and his coach James Trottman said also said the same. Greg said he was aware of his achilles but it did not restrict his movement.
