Top seed Alberto “AJ” Lim Jr. reaffirmed his mastery over second seed Eric Olivarez Jr., 6-2, 6-2, and won the Asmara Open for the second straight year at the resort’s tennis courts in Banilad, Cebu City over the weekend.
The title win embellished Lim’s status as the country’s top player, having won the Balangay Open and Lucena Open – both Grade A events – early this year.
So overpowering was Lim he caught Olivarez off-guard with his whistling shots and daring net attacks. “Again, I would like to thank Mr. Jean Henri Lhuillier for his all-out support and encouragement,” said Lim after his title win.
