Rony showed that he is an absolute warrior. With right-arm tendonitis causing him obvious discomfort from the first strike of the ball, Rony soldiered on. His well placed shots dragged Gary from side to side but it was clear that when he had created the opening, pain made it impossible for him to release his biggest shots. Finally, at the 4-1 changeover in the second set Rony decided that his arm could take no more abuse. It was a wise though difficult decision, as Rony is clearly a determined competitor.
