HEAD TENNIS TILT
Unseeded Filoteo
bags 18-Under title
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Unseeded local player Vincent Filoteo pulled the rug from under Cebuano Cyril Camporedondo with a stunning 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (10-8) yesterday to capture the boys’ 18-Under title of the Bacolod leg of the Head Junior Tennis Tournament at the Noah’s Haven Tennis Court in Barangay Montevista, Bacolod City.
Filoteo climbed out of an 8-4 hole in the tiebreak, winning the next six points to post the improbable win over the No. 3 seed in more than two hours.
Filoteo’s victory compensated for the loss of fellow Bacolod hope Tao Yee Tan, who yielded to Macy Solon of Dumaguete in the girls’ 18-Under finals.
