RCadayona - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines – Mas malaki at mas ma­titinding mga aksyon ang matutunghayan sa International Premier Tennis League (IPTL).

Ito ang ipinangako ka­­hapon ni Clementine Apa­­cible, ang project lead para sa Manila leg ng 2015 IPTL, sa Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum sa Shakey’s Malate.

“We have more teams, more players. Rafael Nadal is coming to play,” wika ni Apacible sa nasabing tennis event na unang idinaos sa bansa noong nakaraang taon tampok si Russian superstar Maria Sharapova.

Muling hahataw ang IPTL sa Disyembre 6-8 sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pa­say City.

“It’s the All-Stars of tennis. It will be three days of sports and entertainment,” wika ni Apacible.

Babanderahan ni Sere­na Williams, target ang Grand Slam ngayong taon, ang Philippine Mavericks sa pagsagupa sa Japan Warriors, UAE Royals, Indian Aces at Singapore Slammers.

Pamumunuan naman ni Sharapova, dating nag­laro para sa Mavericks, ang Japan Warriors na magpa­parada rin kina Daniela Han­tuchova at Marat Safin.

Ang winning team ang kukuha sa premyong $1 mil­­yon.

“That’s one million dollars plus the trophy and the bragging rights. But it’s really about the camaraderie among the teams,” ani Apacible.

Ang mga presyo ng ti­ket ay P49,000 (VIP), P40,000 (patron), P23,000 (lo­wer box), P11,600 (upper box) at P2,700 (general ad­mission).

Si Nadal ang mangu­nguna para sa Micromax Indian Aces kasama sina Gael Monfils, Agnieszka Rad­wanska, Fabrice San­to­ro, Ivan Dodig, Sania Mir­za at Rohan Bopanna.

Ang UAE Royals ay ba­banderahan nina Roger Fe­derer, Ana Ivanovic at Go­ran Ivanisevic, habang nasa Singapore Slammers ang World No. 1 player na si Novak Djokovic.
