Filipinos Diego Dalisay and Jan Godfrey Seno barged into the main draw following impressive qualifying round wins Monday in Week 2 of the Phinma-PSC international juniors championships at Rizal Memorial Tennis Center.
First round starts today with the local hopefuls, led by last year’s champion Khim Iglupas, out to atone for their Week 1 showing where they were wiped out in the singles’ events.
Only Bryan Otico went home with a title when he paired with Japanese Seita Watanabe to rule the boys’ doubles division.
Dalisay hacked out a 6-2,
6-3 victory over Kyle Tang of Hong Kong while Seno progressed after a 6-2, 6-1 win over Tsz Yeung Chan of China.
Thai Nutdanai Sincharoenwattan ousted local bet Jacob Martin, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3, and Singapore’s Justin Oeni, 7-5, 6-1, to also make the main draw.
Russian Mariya Krasakova, Japanese Kanon Yasumoto, Chinese Jing Jing Yang and Australian Tameka Peterson bagged the last four slots in the girls’ main draw.
