Inilabas ni Alcantara, tubong Malaybalay, Bukidnon ang kanyang matikas na porma upang talunin ang world juniors No. 112 na si Vishwesh Sinha ng India, 6-1, 6-3 sa single final at nakipagtambal sa Malaysian na si Juan Los Santos upang kunin ang doubles title laban sa third seeds pair na sina Sai Teja Paladagu at Sinha, 6-3, 6-4.
