Here at PCA, anyone can beat you here so you need to be prepared at all times,” said Tierro. Red-hot Tierro tries to extend his streak against Ruel, a fellow veteran netter. Canizares is going to have his work cut out for him as he clashes with Reyes in the next round. Top seed Johnny Arcilla, who failed to secure his ninth PCA title on Sunday against Tierro, also marched to the quarterfinals with an opening-round bye.
