Madis, Balaoing triumphant in Kudarat tennis

Tennielle Madis and Jay Balaoing lived up to their fancy billings by nailing two victories each to dominate the PPS-PEPP Sultan Kudarat National age-group tennis tournament at the Isulan Capitol Tennis Club recently. Madis dropped just one game in three matches to clinch the girls’ 12-and-under crown via a 6-1, 6-0 rout of Sanchena Francisco. She duplicated that feat by blanking Angel Armanda in the 14-U finals.

Balaoing beat Jose Balonga Jr., 6-1, 6-1, for the 16-U diadem then whipped Bruce Hurtado, 6-3, 6-1, in the 18-U finals.
