Asia-America tour #12

The first round of singles in the Challenger tournament in Champaign saw Greg avoid the seeded players in the draw, up against big serving 25 year-old South African Fritz Wolmarans, currently ranked 283, with a high ranking of 198 in May 2011.
With no live-scoring available for this tournament, not sure how the games went but it was Greg who got the breakthrough in the 1st set and served out the set 6-3.

The second set was again a close affair, with just one break of serve separating the players, with Greg getting the decisive break of serve and winning the set 6-4 and the match 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the 2nd set.
Greg said he played "awful" but that Wolmarans had played worse. Greg said he is lacking energy and feeling very lethargic and run-down, so is not performing to the best on court. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow in the second round.
