they have a fb account- try search olivarez philta open for draw updates
age group has started last friday, aug. 5 and it'll continue this coming aug 12 i was able to watch aj lim's 1st rd match, and he clearly dominated his 18under opponent. sayang, he wasn't allowed to play the open kasi under-age cya at 13. i think jed olivarez has given a WC, pati 14 y old na cya.
open tournament started last monday, aug 8 . and most likely arcilla will take home the purse again.

yes i have seen the facebook page and draws, but miss results and match reports....
thanks for your addition. Especially as you watched Lim, can you describe his playing style? I never saw him. I am also similar interested in the playing style some of the other best players.
I am especially interested in how the play their forehand?, flat or topspin, smae w backhand, do they use slice, do they go to net or pure baseliners?....

AJ Lim is more consistent hitting at the baseline, more agile and pounds the ball too well. lahat binabanatan niya. mostly top spin and very close on top of the net. he also poaches the net if it's a short ball. wala cyang pigil-pigil sa palo. puro gigil. he's not afraid to hit the ball.
i saw a lot of semi-western grips on boys, western naman sa mga girls kaya mas madalas open stance cla.
this coming friday, Lim be pitting against Janul, a palarong pambanasa finalist, very consistent in hitting BH slice. laban ng power vs timing.
canizares, joshua cano, betto- good psycho player. they can hit different strokes/ variations. kung di ubra sa power, kahit lugaw-lugaw, they have that mental capability to win even if they are loosing.
most of the players i saw are baseliners. siguro, si kyle joseph ang madalas mag serve and volley despite his size.
the players i mentioned are aged 13-15

That is an excellent analysis of AJ's game. We are developing his game for the future - he is on a path to be a really professional ATP tour player. You will not see AJ sits a few feet behind the baseline but you will see AJ trying to play tennis the right way. This kid has the world right in front of him so now, it is up to him to put in the work.

Smiley Yeah that is one big no no for us - we don't want our kids to mis behave on the court. They should behave like me at all times  All kidding aside, that is one HUGE area of training for us - mental discipline. Once you lose mental control, you start to lose body control, stroke techniques, hitting strategy, etc ... It is a slippery slope and good luck trying to get it back quickly. Tuan

Pytda
You are a bitter and sad little idiot! I am at Alabang everyday at 3pm. Why don't you come out and meet me there and we can discuss this face to face. Don't hide behind a screen name and insult people when you don't have too. If you have nothing good to say, shut your little mouth up.
If you read my post carefully, I said he is on a path to be a tour pro. I don't know how much tennis you have seen, but this kid is really at the top 1% in the world in terms of his age group at 12. Obviously time will tell as he grows and develops his game but, for now, he is on a path that no other kid his age are on.

It seems that ptyda is a new member and yet all his posts are targeted at tuan, could it be that ptyda is a bogus account created by someone who has a vendetta against tuan? I'm sure it's easy enough to match the IP of ptyda to one of the existing members by our moderators and give this member a warning in private so these things don't happen in our boards.
I believe that it is one of the policies of our board that members should not threaten other members.
Although we sympathize that Tuan is a victim of being singled out by Ptyda, we should all refrain from reacting in this manner, we all know that it will not lead to anything good, lets keep our boards civil

Unang post ko pa lang ito pero almost 2 years na akong sumubaybay sa forum dito, at ngayon gusto ko ring mag share ng opinion. Disclaimer lang po, I am not associated with any Tennis academies, coaches or players, so personal ko lang po na opinion ito at wala akong ni representang iba, meaning just blame me. It is quite obvious that Thetuan is targeted by Pytda, but that’s probably because (opinion ko lang po), Thetuan is quite offensive on his comments sometimes. I highly commended and respected Thetuan as a coach and for putting up a respectable academy that promises to yield top professional players someday, and that’s huge. But as respectable as he is as a coach and a person, I really find it awkward for him to comment something that might offend other people. Sample no. 1. Sa topic na Jeson Patrombon and Marc Reyes futures in US and Mexico on his reply no. 8. He is quick to jump to the conclusion and commented “Mico Santiago is not in the same class as Jeson - Mico used to train with Manny before and we know him and Joseph Santiago very well”. Well he could have added, “but slowly he’s getting there, or anything to equalize his first statement, or just not say that at all especially that Mico is still young and still developing as a player, hindi pa naman siya over the hill or retired. Sample no. 2. Same topic, reply 66 Joseph, I would hold off the enthusiasm until Jeson can prove himself on the pro tour. I am a HUGE Jeson's fan because I, personally, see how hard he works and how I know he is capable of being a top 100 ATP tour pro. However, the loss to Mousheg Hovhannisyan is telling me that Jeson has to learn how to win with a different game plan. I see Jeson and Marc hitting full out in practice and I know that this will not work in the pro game. You can not out hit a big, tall ATP tour pro and if you are a small person, you have to out fox your opponent a la Santoro, Simon, and Tulane (just ask the French tennis federation). These guys are smaller by nature and they play a smart but effective game to win. Mousheg is not even ranked in the top 125 NCAA singles ranking for 2010 and he plays mostly at the 5th position for Pepperdine. If Jeson executes a better game plan, he should be able to take out this lower level NCAA player in straights. I know Jeson wil figure this out in time and he will be very successful once he understands how to win - it's no longer about his strokes and it is all about the hitting strategy he takes to the tour. TuanWhy would he say something like “Jeson has to learn how to win with a different game plan and say something that belittled Jeson’s effort like saying Mousheg is not competent and a lower level NCAA player. I really don’t know how far did Thetuan succeed as a coach, but’ I really think he should have not said something that made it look like coach Manny and Jeson doesn’t know what they’re doing and thinking what they’ve achieve so far, that’s a very ridiculous comment. Did he really knows coach Manny and Jeson’s game plan to come up with that comment? I agreed with Tennis fan, serving for the match in the 3rd set at 5-4, I think that’s more than enough to prove that they have the right plan. Losing the match having the chance to serve it out at 5-4 in the 3rd set, ask Nadal how he lost to Dodig in the recent RogersCup having a chance to serve out the match at 5-3 in the 3rd set? (well, it seemed Nadal and Toni have the wrong game plan then) If he really thinks coach Manny and Jeson are a little short in their strategy, then he could just have said it in private and not in this forum. And to add insult to an injury he would describe Reix Clement as a weak player who was beaten by Roy Kalmanovich who also happens to beat Jeson, again, undermining Jeson’s losing effort. Another thing, what does he mean hold off the enthusiasm? Can we not be happy for the kid and give him inspiring messages for a huge performance even though he is in the losing side, remember, winning comes in different forms and I think he did that. And what made me say what?  , is his statement in this topic on reply no. 4 Smiley That is an excellent analysis of AJ's game. We are developing his game for the future - he is on a path to be a really professional ATP tour player. You will not see AJ sits a few feet behind the baseline but you will see AJ trying to play tennis the right way. This kid has the world right in front of him so now, it is up to him to put in the work. TuanWhat is this, it looks like he’s the one who’s supposed to hold off his enthusiasm, not only all praise siya sa batang ito, who is still so young and still has mountains to prove, but he seemed sure about his future. 1%? Hmmmm. Not unless he have seen all the kids from Europe, Asia (although hindi ko pa rin nakikita, except some sa youtube) and kid’s in America then that’s the time he can declare, 1% nga siya in his age group in the world. Well, some of our members here like Krukspec_56ers, Nadale, Rondiz09 and others express our freedom to give opinions and there’s nothing wrong in projecting something. That’s entirely true but please, let other people express their opinion too and do not say something that would really make them feel bad. What this kids need right now are prayers and encouragement especially that they’re still too young and far from their family in order for them to feel better and be inspired knowing a lot of people and kids are looking up at them and following their journey to the top. Just my opinion. Peace. Now curse me!

On the other hand, I think we can not only be enthusiasts and cheerleeders.
Marc and Jeson are, frankly, at this point not very high ranked in the world. As i mentioned before, in the semifinal last Mitsubishi in April, Jeson started the match with wild forehands, making 6 unforced errors on the first 8 balls in the match.
Seems something similar happened here in Mexico, first set. He needs to develop that side, and it is only fair if tennis affecionados and coaches etc discuss their game, strengths, weaknesses, potentials, also from a benevolent but critical side also. With good, honest observations and correct data as much as possible.
As for Mico. I dont think he gets hurt of that assessment, if true. He knows very well himself if he is at same level as Jeson or not, and it is a good piece of informations for us on the board to have some ideas of some unfamiliar names.
And the young Lim being top 1 % is probably realistic. He is the best 12 year old in Phl and even plays even close matches with some of the best 18U. I would estimate there are some 50.000 registered 12 boys in the tennis world. Lets say half of them go to tournaments regularly, that is 25.000. Top 1 % of that is top 250.
Anyways, lets discuss and debate without too much restraints and censorship, but in good faith and spirit. No meanness.
(Personally, however, my opinion, a little bite here and there just adds flavour and energy, doesn't it?)

from The Inquirer (today) MANILA—Top seed Michael Francis Eala and Monica Therese Cruz ruled their respective divisions in the First Olivarez-Philta Open tennis at the Olivarez Sports Center in Parañaque Monday. Eala lived up to his billing in the unisex 10-under class finals as he outlasted Marcus del Rosario, 2-6, 6-2, 6-0, for the title. Cruz then outgunned top seed Chrislyn Sioson, 6-1, 6-3, to top the girls’ 12-under class. The third-seeded Palarong Pambansa standout had an almost perfect first set but found her opponent too aggressive in the second set. “I sort of relaxed in the second set but when I saw that Chrislyn was determined to beat me, I focused more on the match,” said the 11-year-old Cruz in Filipino. Other finals matches will pit Marian Jade Capadocia and Akiko de Guzman in the girls’ 18-under class and top seed Argil Lance Canizares against No. 2 Kyle Parpan. Capadocia edged Katrina Orteza, 6-4, 6-2, while de Guzman downed Macy Gonzales, 6-0, 6-2. Canizares downed Joachim Samson, 6-4, 7-5, and Parpan stopped Andrew Cano, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Eric Jed Olivarez Jr. and Christian San Andres will also clash in the boys’ 14-under finals after beating Daniel Villasenor, 6-0, 7-5, and Marcen Angelo Santiago, 6-4, 6-2, respectively. The men’s singles champion will take home P80,000 and the women’s titlist P40,000.

footfault and all
This will be my last post - I was hoping to be a part of a growing filipino tennis enthusiasts who can share ideas back and forth and honestly/truthfully speak our minds without being torn down by folks who have nothing better to do than to rip apart the efforts that good intentioned folks are trying to put forth to build Philippines tennis to world class standards. It is obvious that filipinos have many talented players IN THE PHILIPPINES that need proper development to succeed and that is all we are trying to do.
Let me respond to your attacks on my comments footfault
Sample 1 - I know Mico and his dad personally and have seen Mico practiced and played on MANY occasions. Mico is a very good player but not in the class of Jeson. That is the truth and I am not trying to put down Mico by speaking the truth.
Sample 2 - it is also a fact that Mousheg is a lower level NCAA player and he his the fourth best player on his Pepperdine team. He played mostly at no 4 and 5 and lost 18 matches during the 2010 NCAA season. In my book, he is not a strong player and Jeson should have taken him out in two sets if Jeson had a better game plan. I have seen Manny and Jeson practiced in person for over one and a half years and I know exactly what they are working on. There is no doubt that Jeson will be a top 100 ATP tour player but he has to find the winning game plan to do so for his body type and stroke ability. I believe he will be ranked within the top 700 after his Mexico tour because Jeson and coach are extremely quick in adjusting to the situations on tour. Please remember that this is Jeson's first real go round and it will take him a little time to find his game just like he did in the juniors.
Sample 4 - I have PERSONALLY seen the top players in Asia and in America played over the past 10 years. I have not seen the Europeans but they are probably in the same category. I don't go by youtube videos like you do, if that is where you get your tennis experience. Let me tell you that AJ will be a top player - how good he will be up to how hard he is willing to work but really, this kid can be as good as he wants to be. Again, I have said over and over again that Jeson will be a very good ATP tour pro and I am a believer and I am, now, doing all I can to help the local filipinos juniors - what are you doing to help instead of trying to analyze and tear down my words? It is a sad and pity way for you and the other idiot to live your life trying to put down others who are trying HONESTLY EVERYDAY to help the filipinos kids to be better at their god giving talents and, in the process, better their lives in the long run.
Yes I am not the smoothest guy in the world and I am too brutally honest sometimes. It is easy to pick at my words, twisted around to fit your agendas and try to make me look bad. If that is how you get your kicks go for it - LET ME BE CLEAR - Jeson and Marc Reyes are well on their way to be top 100 tour pros and coach Tecson is responsible for everything that they have done and will do. The bright light here is that the Philippines got three more boys who are following their footsteps and will be heard from very soon - Lim, Mendoza and Pantino.
Joseph Lizardo - you should know me better than to buy in to that this guy is saying!
PEACE
Tuan

Yes Thetuan we really appreciate your posts here as these are genuine if i may say professional opinion of yours. I agree to TK that we filipinos tend to go overboard sometimes and i'm asking for others when going overboard, to not to attack a person here in the forum personally. if you want to give your opinion just give it honestly. I hope you continue posting on this site.

Tuan
Thanks for your reply. At least you explained yourself that you are a kind of person who is brutally honest in your opinions and would like to share ideas back and forth truthfully and honestly, and so am I. I think there’s nothing wrong with that cause that’s probably your personality and your way of expressing your ideas, but you should have known that not everybody knows you personally, so, chances are you might be misinterpreted. This is a forum where we’re supposed to engage ideas and express our opinions, suggestions and feelings freely. So just like how freely you express what you feel and think, I don’t think there’s also something wrong with me sharing my opinions right or wrong.
I would like to be honest about how I feel about you. Btw, before that, I really would like to meet you in person one day and discuss tennis and see how you can help me in my tennis and how in my own little way I can help Philippine tennis too, honestly.
I still felt that if you know Mico and his dad personally then you should have hold off your thought or at least did not use the word class, probably just the word better, cause you’re like referring to him as a lower class or subpar.
This is how you come up with that statement. I do not want to further blow up this issue, but since we are talking about it, then we’ll just discuss this for argument’s sake and no hard feelings.
In reply 7 by Luxilionwave on the other topic on Jeson
there's another pinoy kid there ,too, his name is Mico Santiago.
Reply 8 by Thetuan
Joseph Mico Santiago is not in the same class as Jeson - Mico used to train with Manny before and we know him and Joseph Santiago very well. Jeson is tour material now.
If he is not in the same class with Jeson, then what is he doing over there in the futures tournament and how did he managed to win matches in the qualifying and move to the main draw on one of the tournaments he have played? And I really believed on what coach Manny have said that those tournaments are really so deep, that qualifying in itself, is already a big achievement.
I can’t argue with your assessment with Mico, as I haven’t seen him personally, let alone seen him played. But I don’t know when was the last time you’ve seen him, cause as an experienced coach as a player you are, you should have known that junior players or younger players in the futures and challengers who are working hard can, at any time find their game to suddenly click and suddenly their level can go up astronomically.
You really are true to your words as you mentioned again that in your book Mousheg is a lower ranked NCAA player last year and not a strong one and is actually currently unranked, that Jeson, a ranked 1398 atp player should have taken out in straight sets if he has a better game plan.
In my book too, Marc Reyes is not only a low ranked, but, actually an unranked player who failed to qualify after 7 attempts last year as Tommyfr have mentioned, that Chris Letcher, a ranked 657 atp player should have easily dispatched in straight sets.
Either, Marc and Mousheg finally found their games and their hard works paid off, that it really doesn’t matter what their past records are or they’re just plain weak players who got lucky from time to time.
I’m sorry if other people are drag into this, but then again, this is my personal opinions and mine alone.
And yes, my opinions are genuine and honest and I am not intending to single out somebody or attack personally, because if would like to, I would have just randomly say things and name names, say foul languages as nobody knows me in the first place anyway.
And tuan, you may have think I’m twisting around your words, and I respect you for that, but I’m not twisting the facts. I tried as much to be objective and stay in the arguments, and mean no harm and I’m sorry if I hurt your feeling or that I’ve gone too far.
Please don’t let your pride be bigger than your dream of helping Philippine tennis by stopping to post your opinions.
Now that I know your personality, I will try to understand you better but don’t expect that I will agree 100% on your opinions.
Peace and please continue posting!

We are all tennis enthusiasts here who wanted to share and express our ideas and also hear other people's thought too, but just don't expect that everybody will agree with you. It's a good thing that others would disagree, as it means your opinion matters and it sparks interest and debate with other member/s.
And I agree with Tommyfr on the last line of his reply # 22
Peace.

Thetuan
I am sorry some of the postings here were a bit bad style and upset you to. In some boards they have an ignore function, that means any postings by certain people you have identified as lets say " uninteresting" or disturbing, you will not see. So you dont need to be unneccesary upset reading their crap when taking the morning coffe or whatever.
I dont think they have such function on this board, but maybe you just can ignore them otherways. You dont need to reply to them. We other readers and memebers here can see what is fair and correct, and what is not.
So just ignore and continue to communicate with the many other of us that really want to hear your views and reporting. You are in unique position, can report from inside of PTA (philippine tennis academy) etc. In that way you are unique.
Pls reconsider, I am sure many of us are of this view.

A really good win and a big accomplishment at such a young age. Good luck on his next tournaments.
Btw, sa mga nakakaalam, ano po ba kaya ang height ni Jurence ngayon.
Maraming salamat!

Thanks for the info Tennis King. At least 5'7" for a 15 yo is above average for a typical Filipino. Hope he will grow to as much as 5'10" to maybe 6' or even more.

Read in the news this morning: Bambi Zoleta beat Clarice Patrimonio 6-3;6-0. Zoleta is one talented player who Philta seemed to have overlooked. At 13, she is the youngest PCA Open finalist, won the PCA open at 16 beating a veteran Thai Federation Cup player in the semis and Czarina Arevalo in the finals.
If only she was given the exposure and proper training who knows she could be a world beater by now. As it stands, with only little pratice, she is definitely better than our present crop of junior/senior players.

Arcilla seem to be really ON, as by the score. Impressing.
Anyone was there and saw match live/in vivo?

yep his shots are so huge on forehand and backhand that's why victorino can't play his game...,

i saw 2/3 of the zoleta-patrimonio match. 1st set, it took them 80min to complete it. sobra haba ng balikan. pero di na-control ng umpire ung time before serving. dapat maka-serve ang 1 player within 30 seconds, pero inaabot the most is 2 min. panoorin sana namin ung men's final pero tagal ng ladies'. sabi nga ng iba nag-start ng 11:30 ung ladies at baka matapos ng 3 o 4pm. nakausap ko nga rin si victorin0- un inip talo! nakaka drain din ung magantay ka at mainit pa naman dun. dapat 1pm start ng knila. sana raw pinagsabay na rin kasi bakante ibang court
rafaren, ano oras nag-start ung men's?
also, naglaro na pala nung umaga si zoleta for UST. talo sila 8-10 sa 1st match against lasalle girls. kala ng marami, bibigay ung katawan at mukhang nahihilo. un pala nag-re-charge lang sa 3rd set. baka nakatulong din ung chocolate bar after the 2nd set.
i also saw NU beat Lasalle. team to watch this coming uaap- NU. dun si saraza, madrio, lazaro, verdad, polero, talatayod, pena and others.

Hello everyone,
Just want to inform everyone that there might be a mistake in identifying people on this blog. I have spoke personally to Tuan today here in California and mentioned to him that I AM NOT luxilonware.
Have a great time debating what's best for Philippine tennis and hoping that one day get it right.
Sincerely,
Joseph Lizardo
