Nilo Ledama beat fellow UST ace Alexis Acabo, 5-3, 5-3, while Joshea Malazarte trampled Jonamil Prado, 5-3, 4-1, in an all-UP ladies final as they claimed the singles crowns in the National Collegiate Tennis Championships. Know more:
Ledama survived National University’s Ibarra Ortega, 1-4, 4-1, 10-7, in the quarterfinals, overpowered University of the East’s Zion Guia, 4-2, 5-3, in the semifinals, then ended the unranked Acabo’s run with a straight-set romp in the finals to bag the men’s singles trophy in the pre-season tournament presented by Dunlop.
UE’s Stephen Guia edged Acabo, 8-6, in the first singles match but Eric Tangub and Richard Bautista nipped Norman Gaspar and Edangga, 8-7, in doubles before Ledama routed Jed Durog, 8-1, in the other singles duel. The third-ranked Malazarte, on the other hand, repulsed No. 2 Althea Ong of Ateneo in the semis then imposed her will over fellow Lady Maroon Prado to notch the women’s singles diadem in the week-long event put up by Palawan Pawnshop president and CEO Bobby Castro as part of the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala tennis program.
