Didn't think Slabba was going to make it against the Italian but pleased to see Jonny doing so well - he's a break up now in the first set.

RJA · Hall of fame

Slabba lost 3 and 2

Willis won 1 and 0

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Jonny takes the first set by 6-4. smile

RJA · Hall of fame

Jonny takes the first set 6-4

Every other match today has been straight sets. Hopefully this will make it 8 out of 8

RJA · Hall of fame

Oh dear. Jonny retired at *0-3 30-40 in the second set.

Hope it is nothing serious.

I would like to wish fitzy a speedy recovery. You got to really feel for him almost homeless and no chance of income to improve his situation until he is at full health again

Not good but not likely to keep him out for ages by the sounds of it:

No big surprises (though Jonny could have managed one if he hadn't got injured just before winning the 1st set) except for the defending champ (Slabba) going out, but given his recent injury troubles, defending his title was a LOT to ask.

Sounds like he will miss the the two 15K futures at Nottingham and Chiswick which is a shame.

Really bad news, sorry to hear it. I know a few people who have suffered from Labrynthitis and its horrible, but the diagnosis of it lasting months has been a ''worse case scenario'' in the couple of cases I've known (both lasted a few weeks) so try to stay optimistic. I believe travel sickness tablets help settle things down a bit, worth a try surely?

Difficult to know what to suggest regarding finances. Your twitter mentions part-time modelling, is there no way you can look into that for some extra cash wile you recover? Failing that I would really recommend ringing the local council/jobcentre, explain your situation and see what sort of help is available, even if only a short term fix?

i have labrythitus or how ever it is spelt, completely bed ridden can not get up, move or do absolutely anything. it is the worst illness i have ever had and better news there is no cure but to sit and wait.
any time i move im sick and feel like im going to fall over and ive had 25 pints. Not good
Safe to say im not a good person to be around at the moment, after a month of aggressive sinus infection it turns into this labyrinthitus.

no money in and only money going out when im close to being homeless. like london buses, always come at once.

Could be weeks could be months with this as there is nothing that i can take to help. pathetic in this day and age.

Horrible news mate, wishing you a speedy recovery
