[Title] => Cramps force Victorino out of title duel
[Summary] => SUBIC —— Fourth seed Rolando Ruel Jr. barged into the finals of the second Coca-Cola National Open Tennis Championships, ousting top seed and defending champion Joseph Victorino, 2-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4, yesterday at the Subic Bay International Tennis Center.
Victorino’s right leg started to hurt at the start of the third set. The pain lessened and allowed him to recover from a 2-4 deficit but the cramps came back as he was trying to return Ruel’s volley.

[Title] => Pinoy bets booted out in Mitsubishi ladies doubles
[Summary] => Just like the others, RP bets Bien Zoleta and Ivy de Castro fell prey to the awesome foreign challenge as the two crashed out in the ladies’ doubles of the 14th Mitsubishi Lancer Group I International Tennis Championships at the Rizal Tennis Center.
But the 14-year-old tandem of Zoleta and de Castro bowed out in style, seizing the first set with a solid baseline game before getting swamped by the power duo of Kelly de Beer and Pasquale Jansma of the Netherlands in the last two sets, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.

[Summary] => Nestor Celestino Jr. ousted JV Cruz, 8-4; Mclean Barraquias whipped Jomar Arcilla, 8-6; Michael Basco routed Chris Murfet, 8-2; and Dino Ferrari tripped Michael Mantua, 8-4, to resume the charge of the young turks in the ongoing qualifying rounds of the Philta Open at the Olivarez Sports Center indoor clay courts.
