Francis Casey Alcantara and partner Sun Fajing fall short of the ITF M15 Singapore crown after bowing to Igor Sijsling of the Netherlands and Justin Barki of Indonesia in the finals.
MANILA, Philippines – Francis Casey Alcantara and partner Sun Fajing of China seemingly could not do anything right on Saturday, April 8, in the International Tennis Federation M15 Singapore.
Alcantara and Sun renewed their partnership this week in Singapore after a spell in 2018 when they won together an ITF doubles title and secured two runner-up finishes. However, they failed to recreate their magic in the finals as they were totally dominated by the opposing duo who, although not seeded in the competition, was bannered by 2013 Australian Open men’s doubles finalist and former world No. 37 Sijsling.
Things went from bad to worse for Alcantara and Sun in the second set as they fell behind, 0-4. The most they could muster after was win the fifth game, but that was all Sijsling and Barki afforded them as the Dutch and Indonesian pair pocketed the next two games to clinch the championship.
