Aussie Summer 2015-16 #9

The qualifying for the Launceston Challenger was next for Greg, given his current ranking. His first round opponent was young 21 year old Australian Mario Matejcek, ranked 1894.

Aussie Mario Matejcek

A 10am start saw Greg and his room mate Rubén Statham up early on a crisp, windy morning, not something both would have relished. Greg was quick into the match, holding serve easily and then breaking Matejcek three times in a row, to quickly wrap up the set 6-0.
Greg continued the domination into the second set, going to 2-0 up before being forced to save a break point to go 3-0 up. Matejcek then managed to salvage a game but was unable to make any further in-roads into Greg's game, Greg holding serve and breaking Matejcek again to progress to the next round of qualifying with a quick 6-0, 6-1 match.
The match was tougher than the score-line suggested though, as most of Matejcek's games had gone to deuce before Greg broke his serve, Greg having to work for the result. 
An excellent result for Greg and a quick match too, which was fortunate for Greg as he had another match to play that day...
