3 Cebuano netters ousted

THREE Cebuanos kissed their championship hopes goodbye after they bowed out in the Philippine Columbian Association (PCA) tennis tournament yesterday in Paco, Manila.

After getting booted out in the Olivarez Cup a week ago, misfortunes continued for both Bogo City’s Jan Godfrey Seno and UAAP Season 77 Rookie of the Year Josshua Kinaadman, who absorbed elimination round losses.

Another Cebuano, Arthur Craig Pantino, looked headed to the semifinals after racking up victories against Joshua Miranda, 1–6, 6–1, 6–1, and Jimmy Tangalin 6–4, 7–6 (3), but faltered against PJ Tierro, 2–6, 2–6.
