American Summer 2013 - Vancouver #2

In the doubles in Vancouver Greg and partner, American Tennys Sandgren, were granted a wild card into the tournament and were ironically drawn to play against another wild card pairing. Their opponents were the former top 100 player from Belgium Olivier Rochus and partner Frenchman Clement Reix. It would be an interesting match against the very skilled but diminutive Rochus.

Frenchman Clement Reix

The European pairing were quick out of the blocks and consolidated an early break to lead 4-1. Greg and Tennys held to get to 2-4, then 2-5, but were then broken again, the Europeans winning the first set 6-2.

Belgian Olivier Rochus

It was much the same in the second set unfortunately, with Greg and Tennys dropping their serve early in the set and then losing another serve at the death to also lose the second set 2-6, and the match 2-6, 2-6. 
Greg was unable to raise his game after his epic singles match and their opponents were on fire, returning well. Now he can concentrate on his singles.
