Fitzy, it's a shame you can't get a guarantee from the LTA that you would get some funding should you make top 300. It would make getting interim funding between now and then much easier. I wonder whether you can make the ask? This way you could work a funding model where you offer max 2 years but funding finishes earlier should you make top 300 before then.

Anyway, congrats on your run and good luck for the final!

Some of the messages i read in this post literally blew me away. You guys were so behind me. Definitely helped me.

You've had a great day, but I need a week to grow my nails back before hopefully chewing them off again next weekend whilst going through a repeat performance.

Whatever happens next week, all your efforts and sacrifices will have make this trip to Israel one you will never forget - and deservedly so. Let's hope it is properly recognised by the powers that be.

Fitzy against Kellner up now on bet365 live scores.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

good start

steven · Tennis legend

Held his first service game to love - nice start

steven · Tennis legend

First 12 points won on his own serve in fact! 3-2*

steven · Tennis legend

Taken to 30-30 this time, but Fitzy holds again. Kellner has only lost 4 points on his serve too btw.

steven · Tennis legend

Fitzy gets to 30-30 on Kellner's serve but the Hungarian holds and gets to 0-30, back to 30-30 but then Kellner gets the first break point of the match ... saved.

*4-4 deuce
