/ 04:02 AM December 17, 2019

Southeast Asian Games men’s doubles gold medal winners Jeson Patrombon and Casey Alcantara bring their act to Cebu as they headline the elite cast clashing for top honors in the PPS-PEPP Dagitab Festival Open firing off on Tuesday at Naga City tennis courts.

Mark Alcoseba, a member of the winning soft tennis team in the recent biennial Games, is also in the fold, firming up the 64-player cast, which also features top seed and multititled Johnny Arcilla and regular Open campaigners and third seed Vicente Anasta, Fritz Verdad, Leander Lazaro, Rodolfo Barquin Jr., Roel Capampangan and Arthur Pantino.

The second-ranked Patrombon and No. 4 Alcantara held off Treat Huey and Ruben Gonzales Jr. in an all-Filipino finale in the men’s doubles of the SEA Games at Rizal Memorial Tennis Center, and both are raring to go for individual honors this time along with the rest of the crack field ready to vie for the top P40,000 purse in the event hosted by the City of Naga.
