Sydney Ezra Enriquez bucked the odds and toppled two top seeded rivals to complete a twinkill in the PPS-PEPP Sultan Kudarat regional age-group tennis tournament at the Isulan Capitol Tennis Courts recently.
The 15-year-old Enriquez posted a shutout win over No. 2 Angelica Novis in the semis then shocked No. 1 and doubles partner Minette Bentillo, 1-6, 7-6(6), 10-3, in the 16-and-under crown.
The Salug, Zamboanga del Norte find also repeated over No. 2 Bentillo, 4-6, 7-6(7), 13-11, in the semis before drubbing Jazzelle Madis from M’lang, 6-4, 6-4, in the 18-U finals.
Bentillo earlier ruled the 14-U division with a 6-3, 6-4 triumph over Tennielle Madis while fellow local bet Mark Directo took the boys’ 16-U diadem with a 6-1, 6-0 rout of top seed Karl Palo.
