Off Again 2015 #2 - Calgary... and beyond

It's been almost three weeks since Greg played that epic three set match against South African Fritz Wolmarans, unfortunately losing 76 in the 3rd set. The good thing is that his troubled back felt good during and after the match and the rest of his body, including his serving shoulder, although a bit stiff, felt good the next morning. However, the second morning after the match Greg awoke with a very sore right elbow, which he could hardly move. He initially thought it was just stiffness from the long first match back at full match pace and hoped that the elbow would improve each day before the next tournament.
He travelled to Calgary for the next Futures event and requested a Wednesday match to give his elbow as much time as possible to recover. As (bad) luck would have it Greg drew the No.1 seed (Canadian Philip Bester) and the tournament officials were happy to schedule the match for Wednesday evening, hoping for another epic night match for the spectators. But it never happened - Greg was forced to forfeit the match, giving Bester a walkover in the first round, as Greg was unable to hit at full pace and his elbow was still sore and stiff from strained ligaments.
Greg then travelled to New York to catch a bit of the US Open play and seek further medical help and advice from the ATP physios and medical staff, with regard to his elbow and ongoing treatment.
Hopefully Greg will be back in action after a few more weeks rest and rehabilitation.
