The match was a non-event, with Greg and Marinko having to leave for Sydney qualifying the next day. They dropped their first service game and then played out the set, dropping another game to lose the first set 6-2.

The 2nd set started the same way but this time Greg and Marinko broke back to level at 1-1, then repeated the same scenario again in getting to 5-5. They then dropped their serve again and Fyrstenberg/Mertinak served out the match 6-2, 7-5.
Greg said it was a pity they had to leave to go to Sydney as they more than matched their opponents and could have won the match. He wondered how they both managed to have top 20 high rankings in the doubles.
