Former junior star Alberto Lim, Jr. and veteran campaigner Fritz Verdad hacked out a pair of stirring semifinal reversals over
third seed Vicente Anasta and No. 4 Eric Jed Olivarez, respectively, on Saturday to forge a showdown for the Mayor Eric Olivarez Cup National Open Tennis crown in Sucat, Parañaque.
They dispute the crown and the top P50,000 purse plus trophy and UTP and UTR points at 10 a.m. today at the Olivarez Sports Center. Verdad, 29, trampled Laurenz Quitara, 6-2, 6-1, repelled No. 13 Eury Gaspar, 6-4, 7-5, and put one over second seed Jose Maria Pague, 6-1, 6-2, before battering No. 8 Jeleardo Amazona, 6-1, 6-0, to gain a crack at the championship in the event held under the PPS-PEPP program put up by Palawan Pawnshop president/CEO Bobby Castro.
In contrast, Verdad toughened up after yielding in the tiebreak in the first set, breaking Olivarez, the recent Hagedorn Open winner, in the third game of the second frame then winning the next three to seize control.
