Clarice Patrimonio takes on Mae Taller while Khim Iglupas faces Joanne Lorin as the top two seeds kick off their drive in the first Albay National Open beginning today at the Lignon and DPWH tennis courts in Bicol.

Clarice overpowered sister Christine, 6-2, 6-2, to capture the PPS-PEPP Brookside Open crown last April with the former seeking to nail the second of five Open titles staked in this year’s Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Padala tennis calendar.
