Cebuana Krissianne Kintanar did more than what was expected of her after winning the gold in the girls 10-under class, even as her teammate Marian Capadocia topped the girls 12-under of the Selangor International Junior Tennis Championships yesterday at the Pikinis Sports Complex in Selangor, Malaysia.
Kintanar dumped her doubles partner Delizaverne Singh of Malaysia, 7-6(7-2), 6-2, in their spine-chilling final match, while Capadocia ruled after easily thrashing Alyssa Boey, 6-0,6-3.
Meanwhile, three other Cebuanos will be vying for the title in separate divisions today.Sally Mae Siso’s final showdown in the girls 14-under against her doubles partner Selvarajoo was moved again today instead of yesterday.
With that, her mother and coach Sally is having a delimma as to whom to attend to as Sally Mae’s brother Niño also booked a finals seat in the boys 14-under in a separate venue.
Niño Siso meets Kevin Loke in the championship match after he clobbered Kenneth Tan Wei Shen, 6-1,6-0, in the semifinal.
Jacob Lagman and Vince Marc Tabotabo, on the other hand, got a double championship assignment after winning their singles and doubles matches.
Lagman dumped second seed Izzul Aizuddin,6-0,6-4 to face Malaysia’s top player Duz Singh in the boys 12-under final. He and Dus Bionjit Singh are set to play in the doubles finals.
