Coach Wadley on Artie... “Artie has been as solid as a rock for us the last couple of years. He did a great job last year. He really anchored our No. 2 doubles team last season with Tomas Bohunicky. He is playing No. 2 doubles again with Nathan Byrnes and we expect him to play great again there. His a major contributor. Every big match we won he won in either singles or doubles. He is an instrumental key to our success. We really hate to lose him because he has done such a good job for us.”
