[Title] => Victorino, Arevalo cop PCA crown
[Summary] => Playing inspired tennis, teeners Joseph Victorino and Czarina Mae Arevalo pulled off contrasting victories yesterday to clinch their first ever PCA Open title before an appreciative Sunday crowd at the PCA Indoor Courts.
The first time is always the sweetest.
Two days after stunning top seed Johnny Arcilla, the 19-year-old Victorino banked on his unwavering patience and solid baseline play to outlast No. 2 Adelo Abadia, 4-6, 7-6(5), 1-6, 6-2, 6-3, in a game that lasted three hours and 45 minutes.

[Title] => Arevalo takes smooth trip to finals
[Summary] => Top RP bet Czarina Mae Arevalo unleashed her power game as she walloped Korea’s Kim Soo Jin, 6-2, 6-0, yesterday in a suprisingly lopsided game that set her up with another Korean in the women’s singles finals in the 21st PCA Open at the PCA Indoor Courts.
Packing each of her shots with power, Arevalo, the top seed in this event presented by Dunlop and Accel, gave the third-ranked Kim little room to operate to take the match that lasted just 55 minutes and book a second straight finals appearance in the event.

[Title] => Reigning champs work double time
[Summary] => The road to a title repeat is getting tougher and harder each round.
This defending doubles champions Johnny Arcilla and Michael Mora III realized as the two survived a serious challenge from the unseeded pair of Randy de Guzman and Mark Grandea yesterday to barge into the third round of the 21st PCA Open at the PCA Indoor courts.
