The San Jose, Antique-born netter met doubles partner Patrimonio in the women’s singles finals where she scored a 6-1, 7-6 (3) win.

It was Capadocia’s third finals win over Patrimonio after beating the latter twice in the Philippine Columbian Association Open tennis championship in 2011 and 2013. She leads their head-to-head match-up, 4-1.

She completed her title sweep when she teamed up with Patrimonio, who is the country’s second-ranked netter next to Capadocia, in the women’s doubles.

Capadocia and Patrimonio defeated Tanpoco and Maia Balce in the finals, 6-2, 7-5. Their finals opponents reached the title match after a 6-4, 6-3 decision over Espinosa and Anne Bienes.

Capadocia and Patrimonio opened their title bid with an easy 6-0, 6-0 triumph over Jaesna Mae Marilla and Elmira Pagot then followed it up with a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Edilyn Balanga and Marinel Rudas.

Dalawa lang kasi ang magiging resulta ng naging karanassan ko nitong Sabado ng gabi, nagpapagaling ako sa isang pagamutan o di kaya ay pinaglalamayan na ng aking pamilya at malalapit na mga kaibigan.
