Roberts scores first ITF Pro Circuit win

Justin Roberts captured his first ever singles ITF Pro Circuit win yesterday in Mexico.

In the final match of the competition, Roberts came from behind to defeat the American Kalman Boyd. Roberts lost the first set 3-6, and was down in the second set, but managed to win it 7-6. He then won the tiebreak 10-8. He was able to close Boyd out 6-4 in the third set.

Yesterday’s match was the second comeback win for Roberts in the tournament. In the semifinal round, he won the third set after trailing No. 1 seed Jack Draper. He lost the first set and was down 2-5 in the second set before storming back.

Last week, Roberts picked up an International Tennis Federation (ITF) doubles pro circuit win and appeared in two quarterfinals in singles play.
