Commonwealth Games Update 3



Greg & Indian fans

Greg 1st opponent in the singles was 24 year old Gavin Manders from Bermuda, who is unranked in the ATP.

Gavin can play good tennis as he managed to get a few games off Greg, but in all honesty Greg was at about 60% and the result was never in doubt, Greg winning 6-1, 6-2.

A good warm up match for Greg who has not played a match for 4 weeks due to his knee injuries. See previous blogs.



Doubles Rnd 1, Court 2



On the following day, in the doubles Greg was teamed with WA's Matt Ebden. Their opponents were Duncan Mugabe and Robert Buyinz from Ugandan. 20 year-old Mugabe is a handy player, with a high ranking of 659 while 31 year-old Buyinz has only recently gained a ranking, now 1601.

It was another warm-up match for the Aussie, conceding only 2 games in a 6-1, 6-1 win.

Some competitive tennis was seen on the 1st and 2nd days of the tennis, however only when the players matched up against like players from the lesser tennis nations, like Guernsey and Bermuda.
