Red Lions gun for 4th straight win vs Chiefs

SAN Beda University eyes to extend its winning streak to four when it faces Arellano University in the crossover round of the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Tuesday at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. San Beda (5-2) looks to overpower the struggling Arellano side (4-3), which is in its three-game skid at 5 p.m., after Lyceum of the Philippines University (1-5) and University of Perpetual Help System Dalta’s (2-4) match at 3 p.m. The defending champions San Beda Red Lions powered back-to-back-to-back wins after defeating San Sebastian College-Recoletos, Colegio de San Juan de Letran, and Perpetual. In the Red Lions' recent win over Perpetual on Thursday, Jomel Puno put up his best game so far with 15 points, as he was backed up by Kyle Jamora’s 14-point outing. The Yuri Escueta-mentored squad is slated at third in the Group A standings, behind College of Saint Benilde (6-1) and Jose Rizal University (5-1). “This is what I want to see more of from the team. Addressing all the lapses and improving each game. It is not easy to win in NCAA; all the teams are really difficult to defeat. Getting a win is really tough, so the work continues,” Escueta told the media. On the other side of the ring, the Arellano Chiefs, who finished the first round with a flawless 4-0 record, were now struggling in the second phase after absorbing their third consecutive loss. Arellano took an 82-94 loss over Benilde on Friday, despite the efforts of Basti Valencia, T-mc Ongotan, King Vinoya, and Leyton Buenaventura, who scored 17, 14, 12, and 10 points, respectively. The Chiefs were currently slated second at the Group B standings, behind league leader Letran (4-2), and if they do not want to further dip into the standings, they should end their string of losses. Ahead of their clash, Lyceum and Perpetual, both coming off a loss, eye a breakout from the dry spell. Lyceum only tallied a win over Mapua in Group A, while Perpetual only copped two wins against Emilio Aguinaldo College and San Sebastian.

Eala slips one spot to No. 19 in WTA rankings

FILIPINO tennis sensation Alexandra “Alex” Eala slipped one spot to No. 19 in the latest Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) official rankings on Monday. Dropping from a career-high rank No. 18, Eala sports 2,241 points with her new spot in the leaderboard. Belgian Elise Mertens leaping from No. 19 to 14 with 2,540 points caused Eala’s slight descent. Eala first achieved the No. 18 rank which is also the highest among Southeast Asians in WTA Tour history on Aug. 24. The 21-year-old eclipsed former Southeast Asian stars in Indonesian Yayuk Basuki and Thai Tamarine Tanasugarn who both peaked at No. 19. Basuki reached No. 19 in October 1997 while Tanasugarn matched it in May 2002. Eala reached the No. 18 rank after a fourth-round finish at the Canadian Open and a third-round campaign at the Cincinnati Open. Elena Rybakina (9,696) stayed at the top of the WTA leaderboard followed by Aryna Sabalenka (7,550) and new No. 3 Mirra Andreeva (6,371). Andreeva elevated from No. 5 to No. 3 after a runner-up finish at the China Open. Jessica Pegula (6,225) and Coco Gauff (5,974) rounded out the top five. Meanwhile, Eala was set to start her singles campaign at the 1000 Wuhan Open on Monday evening. Eala was to face Chinese qualifier and world No. 217 Han Shi around 9 p.m. Eala will also see action in doubles with close pal Zeynep Sönmez. The Filipino-Turkish tandem will clash against the Ukrainian duo of Anhelina Kalinina and Dayana Yastremska in the first round likely on Tuesday. Eala and Sönmez last teamed up at the Madrid Open last May in Spain where they made a second-round finish.

Hitters, Chameleons battle for first win in PVL

THE PLDT High Speed Hitters and the Nxled Chameleons begin their campaign in the 2027 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series on Tuesday at the Araneta Coliseum. PLDT and Nxled clash for their first win at 6 p.m., after the match of Farm Fresh and Galeries at 1 p.m., and Spikers’ Turf teams Criss Cross and Armed Forces’ face-off at 3:30 p.m. Both tough contenders, the High Speed Hitters and the Chameleons, aim to show their pedigree and kickstart their seven-month PVL All-Filipino campaign. The Siklab Series (first round), slated from Oct. 10 to Dec. 4, is a single round-robin with a mandatory “all-to-play” rule requiring every declared player to see action. The top four teams will advance to the semifinals, with the top two teams gaining a twice-to-beat advantage in a best-of-three championship. PLDT will rely on fiery hitter Savi Davison, together with Kianna Dy and Mika Reyes, in facing the forces of three-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) Brooke Van Sickle, Jonah Escamillan, and EJ Cariño. Nxled came off a strong Invitational Conference, finishing silver, despite Van Sickle being sidelined, while PLDT finished bronze in the same conference. The High Speed Hitters were the PVL On Tour and Invitational Conference champions in 2025, keeping the same core of players, while Nxled is laden with former Petro Gazz players, which earned the 2025 All-Filipino Conference crown. In PVL’s 10th anniversary, two women’s games sandwiched a Spikers’ Turf match with tough team Criss Cross facing the Armed Forces. This is the first time that PVL and Spikers’ Turf share the same schedule. To open the triple-header day, the Farm Fresh Foxies, led by Trisha Tubu and Ces Molina, look to overpower the Galeries with Camilla Lamina and Aiza Maizo-Pontillas. The top four teams at the end of the round will advance to the semifinals, acquiring a twice-to-beat advantage, for the best-of-three championship. The second round is slated from January to March with the same structure but without the all-play requirement, allowing coaches full lineup flexibility. And for the final round (April to May), points from the first two series determine seedings for a stepladder-style finale that crowns the first-ever Philippine Grand Champion.
