Laurenz Quitara and Aubrey Calma hope to live up to the hype as they banner the field in the premier division of the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala Manila Southwoods age group tennis tournament unfolding tomorrow in Carmona, Cavite.

Quitara, member of the newly formed national 16-and-under pool by the Unified Tennis Philippines, gains the top seeding in the 16- and 18-U play but the Imus, Cavite rising star expects a tough outing against the likes of Joshua Molina, Elvin Geluz, Stefano Gurria and Jester Ocio with Sebastien Lhuillier, JT Bernardo and Nicolas Ison joining the hunt in the 16-U side.

Calma, from Cagayan de Oro, also faces a formidable challenge from a slew of talented rivals, including Denise Bernardo, Erika Valencia, Kyla Poon, Francesca Cruz, Alaine Obra and Angel Fortadez in the 18-U category of the Group 2 tournament sponsored by PPS-PEPP headed by president/CEO Bobby Castro and presented by Dunlop, the official ball.
