Olivarez adds another title in treasure chest

CEBU, Philippines — Eric Jed Olivarez underscored his growing stature as one of the country’s premier tennis players in defeating Eric Jay Tangub, 6-3, 6-4, to capture the men’s singles crown in the Mayor Edwin Olivarez National Open Tennis Championships at the Olivarez Sports Center in Sucat over the weekend.

Olivarez added another major title to an impressive run in the Olivarez-sponsored national Opens and pocketed the top prize of P100,000 from the tournament’s total prize pool of P415,000.

He previously captured the Mayor Eric Olivarez National Open and the Rep. Edwin Olivarez National Open in 2024, ending Johnny Arcilla’s long reign in the process.
