A slew of talented international players vying for tournament points are arriving today for the main draw of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Manila Open set to open later this week at the Sands SM By The Bay.
Paraguay’s Michelle Amarilla, who with Gabriela Filippo battled the legendary American pair of April Ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings in the first knock-out round of the 2015 Beach Volleyball World Championships, will banner the 16-pair women’s cast.
The highest rated team in the field, Amarilla will have Erika Bobadilla as her partner in the competition which the Philippines is hosting for the first time.
The Paraguayans hope to bounce back in Manila after the duo failed to make it to the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Malaysia Open semifinals in Langkawi last Sunday.
