Angeles bet cops singles, doubles titles
MANILA, Philippines – Local bet Jed Justin Labasano disposed of Olongapo City’s Jonas Silva, 6-2, 6-3, to capture the boys’ 18-and-under crown in the Cebuana Lhuillier Age Group Championship Series in Angeles, Pampanga recently.
Labasano later teamed up with 16-U champion Nio Tria to clinch the 18-U doubles crown. Tria earlier toppled Loucas Fernandez, 6-4, 6-3, for the 16-U title in the tournament backed by Dunlop as official ball.
Other winners in the boys’ division were Aldwyn Rosales from Quezon City over Oriental Mindoro’s Jose Martin Buenaventura, 6-0, 6-0 (14-U), La Union’s Marc Andres Jarata over Angelo Rosales, 6-3, 7-6 (12-U), and Darwin Cosca from Olongapo City over La Union’s Mariel Jarata, 4-3, 4-3, (10-U).
“I’m happy when I do not recognize familiar names among the winners in our series, it means there are really young tennis talents in the provinces just waiting to be discovered,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, president-CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier and current Philta chair.
