SUBIC—Sisi Rondina and Jovelyn Gonzaga booked a 22-24, 21-12, 15-12 victory over Genesa Jane “Jen” Eslapor and Floremel Rodriguez in an all-Filipino final of the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Futures that brought the best out of both pairs amid impending injuries.
“We were tired…after having gone through the competition, the pressure and the strong opposition,” said Rondina, the most decorated among the four finalists with back-to-back bronze medals at the Southeast Asian Games. “I could hardly jump, even during our pre-final training,” said the back-to-back Southeast Asian Games bronze medalist with Bernadeth Pons, who is under rehab for a shoulder injury.All four had flights booked—Rondina to Cebu, Rodriguez to Negros Occidental and Eslapor to Cagayan de Oro—for Sunday night at Manila’s airport in anticipation of an early exit from the tournament organized by the Philippine National Volleyball Federation .
Eslapor and Rodriguez played with less pressure, too, and treated the final like a mere training session.
