Cuizon, Milliam snare twin La Carlota net crowns

Chad Cuizon nailed a pair of 10-unisex titles while Alexa Milliam logged another multiple win to grab the spotlight in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala La Carlota leg regional tennis tournament at Lacta Tennis courts in Negros Occidental on Monday.

The 10-year-old Cuizon, who hails from Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, dropped just two games in securing the singles crown with a 4-0, 4-2  whipping of Giovani Dimate.  He then paired with Jake Rodriguez to stop Dimate and Louchela Estember, 8-4, for the doubles diadem.

Milliam, on the other hand, sustained her romp in Roxas City last week as she topped the girls’ 12- and 14-U classes.

Milliam blanked Willyn Segura, 6-0, 6-0, for the 12-U plum then held off Wendy Galanza, 6-1, 6-4, in the 14-U championship.  —VANESSA B. HIDALGO
