ONE HUNDRED FIFTY gear up for a showdown for top honors in various divisions, including ranking points staked in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala regional age group Mactan leg which fires off today Friday, Mar. 6 in Cebu.
Young Tracy Llamas and Beverly Enriquez banner the cast in the premier girls’ side while Jan Godfrey Seno and Manila-based Stephan Lhuillier loom as the player to beat in the boys’ 18-and-U section of the five-day event at the Mactan island Tennis Club, LapuLapu City.
Llamas, one of La Carlota’s stalwarts, and Enriquez also head the roster in the girls’ 16-U along with Aubrey Calma and Elizabeth Abarquez while Seno is also the top seed in the 32-player boys’ 16-U side of the Group 2 tournament sanctioned by the Philippine Tennis Association headed by president and Paranaque Mayor Edwin Olivarez.
“This is the turn of the young players from Mactan and nearby provinces to showcase their skills and gain ranking points,” said Palawan Pawnshop COO Bobby Castro. “Though the NCR bets remain the favorites, we expect surprises from the local talents in all divisions.”
