A few singles matches in the collegiate division were played yesterday, but the bulk of the matches will all be played today.

Six teams will now be competing in the tennis contest as Velez College and Cebu Doctors’ University will be fielding in their representatives. The two teams join the usual entries from University of Cebu, USJ-R, University of the Visayas and University of San Carlos.
Set to defend the singles division crown is Oswaldo Dumoran of UV. Dumoran will be joined by Ian Yape, Julianito Jopia and Gilbert Lorosota in the UV team. Singles and doubles titles will be up for grabs in the collegiate division.
