Favorites dominate Palawan tennis

/ 02:02 AM September 15, 2015

JANUS Ringia and Patricia Velez came away with two titles each as the fancied bets ruled the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala regional age group tennis held at Gen. Santos City Tennis Club Monday.

The top-seeded Ringia, one of the rising stars from Koronadal, survived No. 2 Vince Tugade, 6-1, 5-7, 10-7, to cop the boys’ 14-and-under crown. He then overpowered Klyde Lagarde, 6-0, 6-2, for the 16-U title in the event presented by official ball Technifibre.

The top-ranked Velez, on the other hand, trounced Danna Abad, 6-2, 6-3, to pocket the girls’ 16-U plum before the Davaoeña ace, as the No. 2 seed, nailed the premier 18-U diadem when top seed Nicole Bautista retired after Velez took the first set, 6-3.
