LITTLE ROCK, Ark -- Artem Sitak, the number one seed in the St. Vincent Auxiliary Men's Professional Tennis Tournament, was the most tested and have played against tougher opponents compared to his rivals here at the Pleasant Valley Country Club.
In the end, his toughness and experience served him as he beat Matt Roberts 6-4, 6-3 to win his second Futures tournament of the year.
He played the final match in unusually loud and raucous conditions for a Futures tournament. The players travel around the country in near anonymity but in this tournament Matt Roberts, who was born and raised in Little Rock, made it to the final and he brought what he called his 'posse' to cheer him on.
Sitak was having serious difficulties delivering his serve on the way to the final and was looking shaky coming in. But he pulled it together for the final.
In the end Sitak's experience and toughness prevailed over Matt Robert's adrenaline.
