ROBERTS LOST

JUSTIN Roberts, playing in the Dominican Republic Futures $15,000 Tournament, lost a keenly contested match to Juan Ignacia Galarza in the main draw yesterday. The 21-year-old Galarza from Argentina, who is ranked at 415, pulled off a 6-4, 6-4 win over the 19-year-old Roberts, who is a sophomore at the University of South Florida.

The match, according to Roberts, was a very good one for him to test his skills against the more experienced and highly ranked players.

Roberts had a big victory in the qualifying round when he upset No. 8 seed Samuel Shropshire, who plays No.1 for Northwestern University and currently has an Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division 1 singles ranking of 34.

Roberts also got wins over Stephen Madonia of the United States and Jody Maginley of Antigua in the qualifying rounds.
