Mahusay too good in Capiz age group tennis

Reynan Mahusay racked up three victories, including the premier boys’ 18-and-under division, in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala regional age group tennis at Dumalag Tennis Club in Capiz Monday.

The 14-year-old bet from St. Michael School in Pontevedra pulled off a pair of thrilling tiebreakers against third seed Mart Fullo for a 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) decision in boys’ 18-U.

Fullo stunned top seed Mark Crisosto, 6-7 (7), 7-5, 10-5, in the Final Four.

As third seed in the 16-U class, Mahusay battled back from a set down to hack out a 1-6, 6-1, 10-7 victory.

He earlier dominated Jondreve Jimenea, 6-3, 6-0, to rule 14-U.

Kiana de Asis failed to match that three-win romp as the top La Carlota bet, who dominated the last three legs of the circuit presented by Technifibre, settled for victories in the 14- and 16-U sections via 6-4, 7-5, and 6-1, 6-2, respectively, both over Tracy Llamas.
