Baisa, Brodeth sustain form at Brookside
MANILA, Philippines — Brice Baisa continued his rapid rise with another two-title feat even as Kimi Brodeth lived up to the hype in the distaff side of the Brookside National Juniors Championships at Brookside Hills courts in Cainta, Rizal Sunday.
The third-ranked Baisa scored a 6-4, 7-6(2) win over second seed Tristan Licayan in the semis then upended No. 1 Kenzo Brodeth, 6-4, 6-0, to snare the boys’ 16-and-under crown in the Group 1 tournament presented by Dunlop.
The top-seeded Kimi continued her winning ways coming off a break as the Ormoc City star, who swept the three-leg Visayan swing last March, foiled No. 2 Chloe Mercado from Quezon City twice, 6-2, 7-5, in the girls’ 16-U championship.
She then bounced back from an opening set setback to pull off a 3-6, 6-2, 10-4 escape in the 18-U finals and share the MVP honors with Baisa.
The Puerto Princesa find turned back second seed Alfonso Infante, 6-4, 6-4, in the semis.
