RP Cuppers gustong makaganti sa Japan

-

MANILA, Philippines - Maliban sa paghihiganti sa mga Japanese, hangad rin ng mga Filipino tennis players na makaangat sa second round ng Group I ng Davis Cup Asia-Oceania Zone.

Ito ang inihayag kaha­pon nina Philippine Lawn Tennis Association (Philta) vice president Randy Villa­nueva, coach Chris Cuarto at Danny Francisco ng Ce­buana Lhuillier sa lingguhang PSA sports forum sa Shakey’s sa U.N. Avenue, Manila.

“Hopefully, we will get our revenge on them,” ani Villanueva sa pagsagupa ng RP Team sa Japan sa Marso 5-7 sa Namihaya Dome sa Osaka, Japan. “It will be tough for our team since we will be playing in Osaka but the team will be ready.”

Winalis ng mga Japanese ang Nationals, 3-0, sa kanilang huling pagtatagpo noong 2008.

Ibabandera ng RP Team sina Fil-Am net­ters Cecil Mamiit at Treat Huey kasama sina top locals Johnny Arcilla, Francis Ca­sey Alcantara at PJ Tierro.

Ipaparada naman ng Japan ang 32-anyos na si Satoshi Iwabuchi, ang ranked 309th sa mundo, katuwang sina Takao Suzuki, Go Soeda at Yuichi Sugita.

Tinalo ni Mamiit si Soe­da, 6-4, 6-4, sa ATP Challenger Tournament sa Uni­ted States. (RCadayona)
