By Myris Lee

Treat Huey and Ruben Gonzales grabbed the 31st Southeast Asian (SEA) Games gold in the tennis men’s doubles in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Huey and Gonzales bested compatriots Jeson Patrombon and Francis Casey, 6-1, 6-4 who settled for the silver medal.

The duo of Huey and Gonzales avenged their loss to Patrombon and Alcantara in the 2019 edition of the biennial meet in Manila

“It was great to have the PH team in the finals for the sure gold, just like three years ago. Today we played really well, Ruben and I came out strong and with a lot of energy and from the first point on we’re happy to get the win,” said Huey.

 “It’s always great to win the tournament, but especially with a great friend like Treat to do it together for my first gold, this is my fourth finals, and to finally get it done, it feels really good,” Gonzales added.

Meanwhile the national tennis squad wrapped up its campaign with one gold, one silver, and four bronze, improving its one gold, one silver, and two bronze-haul in the 2019 SEA Games. – gb
