MANILA--Arthur Craig Pantino hardly had a hard time fending off compatriot Jose Antonio Tria, 6-2, 6-1, to pocket his second straight ITF Juniors title in two weeks in their finals rematch at the PHINMA - PSC International Juniors Tennis Championship 2 inside the Manila Polo Club in Makati, last Sunday.
Pantino, who already asserted his mastery over Tria in the preceding week at the PHINMA-PSC International Juniors Tennis Championship 1, thrilled the Filipino crowd at the week-long tournament organized by the Philippine Tennis Association (PHILTA) after only dropping a total of 13 games in the whole event.
