/ 10:43 PM November 27, 2013

Roxanne May Resma saved the day for the Philippines as she bucked the foreign charge in the Phinma International Juniors Week 2 tournament yesterday at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Center.

The fourth-seeded Resma pulled off a 7-6 (6), 6-3 triumph over Japanese qualifier Yu Fujioka to advance to the Round of 16 of the girls’ singles, making up for the sorry losses of the other local bets in the other first-round matches.

Falling to foreign foes were Isabella Orteza, Jzash Eale Canja, Dave Sebastian Mosqueda, Andrew Joshua Cano and Eric Olivarez Jr.
