The country’s top tennis players and promising talents gather for the Dagitab Festival National Open Tennis Championships, which kicked off Sunday at the City of Naga courts.
Leading the charge in the men’s singles are top seed Eric Jed Olivarez and veteran Johnny Arcilla, both aiming for the coveted title in this season-ending Open tournament. Olivarez, coming off a victory in a recent Open tournament, opens his bid against Miecoz Candelasa, while Arcilla tests his mettle against Hans Cabellon.
Olivarez, who fell short against absentee Josshua Kinaadman in last year’s edition, eyes redemption. However, with multi-titled Arcilla back in the fray and a competitive field of rising stars, the tournament promises high-intensity matchups throughout the week-long event. Lataza dominated London Good, 6-3, 6-0, while Velos overpowered Gil Niere, 6-1, 6-1. They will face off against Matthew Morris and Cloyd Canoy, who also scored impressive wins to secure berths in the Final Four.
