Editors Note : Artem SITAK ? One of the best players you have never heard of. He has been friends with Lovey &the team @10sballs since his teenage years @saddlebrook tennis. (Formerly Hopman tennis ) Artem is truly a road warrior. He has been sleeping in airports all over the world since he was 14 … He has hit tennis balls on walls on courts on every continent. He has played in the rain. On clay. On dirt. On sand. On crushed coral shells. You name it. His book will be an amazing awakening to the glamorous life of a pro tennis player ( only at the top ) …. He has beaten the best singles guys in practice. But his road in tennis has been bumpy. We are thrilled he had a great summer and played in his first U.S. OPEN . He just missed the cut one year. Another year he missed a mp to get thru qualies in singles. Artem and his lovely wife Anya have made New Zealand home. We know Jason is thrilled as are his buddies @solinco strings especially K.T. This summer Artem won a heap of dubs tourneys . We wish him well in everything including Davis Cup this weekend.
