No !!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!

Saw the "result" just before I went out and have been thinking how great it would be if Jonny could do an "Evan" and take his first futures title tomorrow. Then I come home to this.

Small consolation for Jonny, I'm sure, but at least it does seem that his back injury is not too serious as he is playing the doubles final.

Currently 5-5* i the opener

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Jonny and Scott took the 1st set on a tie break and are now 4-1* up in the 2nd.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Another title for Jonny and Scott who win the final 7-6(8) 6-1

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Think we owe this to Scott and Jonny to do this properly

Final: (4) Scott Clayton & Jonny O'Mara CR 1452 (337+1115) beat (3) Karol Drzewiecki & Maciej Smola (POL/POL) CR 1229 (566+663) 7-6(8) 6-1

Jonny: "Thanks to Alexei the Ukranian masseuse who popped my rib back into place! The guys an absolute magician!"

Jonny's dad: "@GBtennis @tennisscotland he popped a rib twisting for a shot. A local physio diagnosed, popped it back in and jonny gritted out the dubs"

Spectator · All-time great

Grit indeed. Well done to them both, and especially to Mr O'Mara.

christ · Futures level

"masseur". Masseuses are ladies.

This is why I typed "Pospisil appears to have retired", I half expected it to have been a mistake.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

What possibly makes it all even worse, is that Pospisil actually DID retire today in the final - all assuming that live scores hasn't got it the wrong way around again.
