Niño Alcantara, the rising tennis star from the Philippines, continues to make waves in the international ATP circuit, recently elevating his career-high ranking from 176 to 169. Not only is he rising thru the ranks internationally but locally, he now holds the title of being the number one ranked doubles player in the Philippines.
Unified Tennis Philippines (UTP) President Jean Henri Lhuilier expressed profound pride in Niño Alcantara's journey, sharing the sentiments of many admirers and supporters. Lhuilier remarked, "Nino's relentless pursuit to greatness greatly embodies the resilience and determination that define great athletes. His achievements inspire us all and reflect the immense potential within the Filipino tennis community. He truly deserves the recognition and we cannot wait until the day he lands a spot in the top 100 players in the ATP."
