Unranked Rodolfo Barquin provided the sparks in an otherwise cruising day for the top guns with a 2-6, 7-6 (5), 10-3 upset of third seed Vicente Anasta that netted him a trip to the quarterfinal round of the Naga Open National Tennis Championships.
UNRANKED Rodolfo Barquin provided the sparks in an otherwise cruising day for the top guns with a 2-6, 7-6 , 10-3 upset of third seed Vicente Anasta that netted him a trip to the quarterfinal round of the Naga Open National Tennis Championships at the City of Naga tennis courts in Cebu Friday.
But it was Barquin who produced the worthiest win, recovering from a lopsided setback in the opening set with a squeaker in the next before pulling through in the Group A tournament presented by Dunlop. Kinaadman, winner of the Gov. Jubahib Cup Open in Davao del Norte last September, overpowered Ryle Singson, 6-1, 6-2, and Kristian Tesorio, 6-2, 6-0, as he braces for a semis face-off with Arcilla in the upper half of the 32-player draw in the tournament put up by Palawan Pawnshop president and CEO Bobby Castro.
