It was actually the duo’s second straight victories as Patrombon and Capadocia also ruled the Brookside Open in Cainta, Rizal two weeks ago. But Capadocia refused to give up and won the next two, including the grueling ninth game to regain the lead. In a duel of spurts, Patrombon took the first three games in the opening set but Arcilla struck back and won the next three to draw level. The Iligan City ace then held serve in the seventh game but Arcilla took the next three and the ser. The fourth-ranked Capadocia, meanwhile, rallied past Clarice Patrimonio, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1, in the semis while Iglupas came into the finals oozing with confidence following a series of lopsided victories, including a 6-1, 6-1 romp over Ma.
