Top seed Duane Batad and unranked Jerame Balaquit booked lopsided results to rule their respective divisions and lead the local bets’ romp in the PPS-PEPP Mati City national juniors tennis championships at the City of Mati courts.
TOP seed Duane Batad and unranked Jerame Balaquit booked lopsided results to rule their respective divisions and lead the local bets’ romp in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala Mati City national juniors tennis championships at the City of Mati courts in Davao Oriental recently.
Batad yielded just two games in four matches to pocket the boys’ 16-under title, capping his domination with an 8-0 rout of Jolimar Prado in the finals, while Balaquit blasted Louise Plaza in a duel of unfancied bets and took the girls’ 14-under diadem via the same scoreline in the Group 3 tournament presented by Dunlop.
Balaquit also gained cracks at the 16- and 18-under titles but fell short against Stephanie Abos from Banay-Banay, 8-4, and bowed to fellow Mati native Jaden Orquia, 8-1, respectively, although those were enough to net her a share of MVP honors with Batad in the four-day tournament sponsored by Mayor Michelle Rabat and City of Mati tennis club president Rosendo Linsag.
Other homegrown winners were Martineto Bahay and Benedict Ukay, who bagged the boys’ 14- and 18-under trophies, respectively, while Dexter Salcedo topped the boys’ 12-under side and fellow Lupon native Roanne Garuda captured the girls’ 12-U crown in the non-ranking tournament which served as part of the country’s longest talent-search put up by Palawan Pawnshop president and CEO Bobby Castro.
Bahay, who ripped Anton Yee. 8-3, in the semis, trounced Dave Cero, 8-5; Ukay, who foiled Batad, 8-4, in the Final Four, repulsed Andrei Yee, 8-4; Salcedo trampled Martin Urboda, 8-2, after blanking Roy Cabanlit, 8-0, in the semis; and Garuda crushed April Cabanlit, 8-3, following an 8-0 romp over Julia Quimba in the Last 4 phase of the event backed by ProtekTODO, PalawanPay, Unified Tennis Philippines and Universal Tennis Rating.
