The Greg's got off to a good start and were quickly up a break, and then held serve to maintain their advantage. They broke again and then served out the set, winning it 6-2.
The No.3 seeds were not done and fought back, matching it with the Greg's and then getting the all important break, then holding serve to win the match 6-4, to level the match and take it to the match tie-break.

The match tie-break, first to 10, with a two point buffer, was evenly contested. The tired Greg's got out to a 5-1 lead but their opponents were hanging in, and clawed their way back, levelling and taking the score all the way to 9-9. The Greg's twice had match point but could not get the vital point, saving match point themselves before their fresher opponents, who unlike the Greg's had not played singles on the day, brought up another match point at 11-12 and prevailed 11-13, winning the doubles match 2-6, 6-4, (13-11).
Another heart-stoppingly close match for Greg. which ended his Manta campaign.
