Carbonilla, Padilla score in Zambo

Aslan Carbonilla wore down top seed Nash Agustines in a grueling duel, hacking out a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 10-2 decision to snare the boys’ singles 16-and-under crown and match Judy Ann Padilla’s two-title feat in the PPS-PEPP JNY Cup national age-group in Molave, Zamboanga del Sur, recently.

Carbonilla’s win came on the heels of a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Penshoppe Erquita as he dropped just two games heading into the finals.

Padilla, meanwhile, extended her run of impressive finishes by topping the girls’ 14- and 16-U divisions, falling just short of matching her three-title romp in Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte, last week after bowing to Christine Gulagula in the semifinals of the premier 18-U play ruled by Sydney Enriquez.
