This looks like Gregory's best chance of making a main draw in ages. If he wins this match he will play one of two unranked teenagers in the final qualifying round. Arslan doesn't have a profile page on either the ATP or ITF site.
My Turkish junior opponent called in before the match to say the local bus was running late. He arrived an hour and 50 minutes after the match was called- not a great advertisement for the Istanbul bus service. Unfortunately, my Italian opponent tomorrow is staying in the hotel at the courts.

Perhaps we could arrange for him to get stuck in the lift
