LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – Once Fritz Satera made his move, there was no stopping the Central Visayas bet.
Satera surrendered a game at the onset then strung up seven straight to crush Francisco Santos III, 8-1, en route to the secondary singles crown of the 2012 Palarong Pambansa tennis competitions at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center here.
“Masaya syempre (Of course, I’m happy),” Satera told Rappler, saying that this is his first gold in the secondary division.
In the doubles division, National Capital Region’s Bruce Ivan Valenzuela and Hilbert San Jose teamed up to cruise past Ilocos Region’s Eric Fernandez and Jerome Gamurot, 8-1 in the finals.
Satera has been joining the Palaro since he was in grade 3, bagging 4 medals to date while also competing in various local and international tournaments.
“Gusto ko pa sumali sa lahat ng tournament (I want to join all tournaments),” he added.
For his father, Tito though, Fritz can compete as long as he wants, provided that he keeps his grades intact.
“Syempre, priority niya yung academics niya (Our priority is school),” Tito said. “Secondary lang ang tennis. Kailangan balanced talaga (Tennis is only secondary. Balance is key).” – Rappler.com
