Sitak wins in a less-than-dominant Fashion

Artem Sitak, above, reacts to one of his many mistakes.

To be blunt, some serious technical flaws were uncovered in the game of Artem Sitak. Artem Sitak won -- 7-6 (1), 7-6 (4) against Marcus Fugate in the semifinal Saturday -- but had great difficulty in delivering an important part of a professional tennis player's game: his serve.

Sitak, the number one seed in the St. Vincent Auxiliary Men's Tennis Tournament, committed one double fault after another in an uneven performance at the Pleasant Valley Country Club. Sitak survived solely because his opponent -- who was leading at critical stages of the match -- had problems of his own.

As pictured, Marcus Fugate can be overly casual to the detriment of his game.
