National tennis team standouts Francis Casey Alcantara and Ruben Gonzales still couldn’t find their groove in their second tournament as a duo this year.
Alcantara and Gonzales bowed out of the $25,000 ASC BMW Men’s World Tennis Tour in Naples, Florida anew after losing to the Peruvian pair of Conner Huertas del Pino and Alexander Merino, 7-6 (9), 4-6, 10-7, in the second leg’s quarterfinals on Friday morning (Manila time).
Coming off a dismal defeat in the grueling first set, the Filipino netters struck back to force a decider only to lose steam in the end.
