The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines -  Iligan City’s Rovie Baulete pulled off a two-title feat to lead the winners in the Tubod, Lanao del Norte leg of the Cebuana Lhuillier Age Group Tennis Championship Series recently.

Baulete dominated Kristin Bandolis, 6-2, 6-3, to claim the girls’ 14-and-under crown then whipped fellow Iligan City bet Anna Mendoza, 6-2, 6-2, to pocket the 16-U diadem in the tournament supported by Dunlop as the official ball.

Baulete later teamed up with Bandolis to capture the 14-U doubles title.

Local bet John Sonsona trounced Al Macauyag, 6-2, 6-0, to capture the boys’ 18-U crown while Mendoza redeemed herself by winning the 18-U diadem with a 6-3, 6-7, 10-8 win over Voenn Pamaong.

Andrei Cuevas copped the boys’ 16-U title with a 1-6, 6-3, 10-1 victory over Brent Cortes, who earlier won the 14-U title with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Euri Tagal.

“This shows that there are young tennis talents all over the Mindanao area and it was a matter of bringing the games to their respective places that enabled them to emerge and hone their skills in regular organized tennis tournaments,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier.
