AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Chris Eubanks struggled with a muscle injury before being eliminated from the ATP Auckland Classic in the first round. Fifth-seeded Eubanks needed court-side treatment for a glute muscle injury and lost 7-6 (5), 6-2 to Botic van der Zandschulp. It is not yet clear whether the injury will impact Eubank's Australian Open campaign beginning Sunday in Melbourne. French veteran Gael Monfils also was beaten in the first round, losing 6-2, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (4) to Fabian Marozsan of Hungary.
