LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The St. Vincent Auxiliary Men's Professional Tennis Tournament is the longest running United States Tennis Association event, according to USTA supervisor David Littlefield. This tournament has been going on for over 28 years.

Littlefield said everyone loves the site. This is the first year the event is being hosted at the Pleasant Valley Country Club.

The week started out with a lot rain and bad weather. In fact, a week ago a tornado passed through Little Rock.

By Friday, it suddenly became very cold. Trying to interview Julio Peralta after his quarterfinal match, he quickly said, Can we go inside? It's cold.

Come Saturday and Sunday, perfect tennis weather; 75 to 80 degrees, light breeze.Rosa Colon and Tyler Neese, press liaisons.
