Clarice Patrimonio
36th PCA Open Netfest
MANILA, Philippines — Inilampaso nina reigning champion Clarice Patrimonio at four-time titlist Marian Jade Capadocia ang kani-kanilang karibal upang magmartsa sa ladies’ singles quarterfinals kahapon sa 36th Philippine Columbian Association (PCA) Open sa PCA indoor shell-clay courts sa Paco, Manila.

“Just like the other players are saying, just one game at a time. Kailangan kong mag-focus kung sino ang susunod kong kalaban, hindi pwedeng mag-jump sa semis or finals. I’m just taking it one game at a time,” wika ni Patrimonio na nagnanais masungkit ang kanyang ikatlong sunod na kampeonato.
Sunod na makakasagupa ni Patrimonio si Jhastine Red Ballado na nagtala rin ng impresibong 6-1, 6-3 panalo kay Jed Aquino habang titipanin naman ni Capadocia si Sydney Ezra Enriquez na namayani kay Melanie Faye Dizon, 6-0, 6-0.
