Solis scores treble in Olivarez netfest

MANILA, Philippines — Jasmine Solis captured two singles titles and a doubles crown to spearhead the winners at the Dr. Pablo Olivarez Juniors Age-Group Tennis Championships in Sucat, Parañaque over the weekend.

The rising star from Sta. Rosa City, Laguna routinely upended top-seeded rivals to share the tournament’s MVP honors with San Pedro City’s Tyrone Caro, who dominated the boys’ division.

Solis’ spectacular run in the girls’ 14-and-under division saw her stun No. 1 seed Amanda Barrido, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, in the semifinals. She then carried that momentum into the finals, foiling Carolina Fandino, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, to secure the crown. Solis duplicated her success in the 16-and-U category, dismantling top seed Ava Banson, 6-3, 6-2. She later completed a golden treble by teaming up with Christella Lamera.
