Lim on a roll in Tianjin

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines —  Reigning PCA Open champion AJ Lim continued to make waves as he overpowered local bet Hanyi Liu, 6-1, 6-3, to advance to the quarters of the ITF M15 Tianjin Tournament in China on Wednesday.

Lim’s dominant win was a fitting follow-up to a 7-5, 3-0 (ret.) victory over another local bet Sheng Tang in the opener of the ITF Men’s World Tennis Tour event.

Backed by sportsman Jean Henri Lhuillier and the Cebuana Lhuillier Sports, Lim shoots for semis spot versus either Zhenxiong Dong or Kazakhstan’s Grigoriy Lomakin.

A former world No. 12 in the ITF juniors singles, Lim, 25, stamped his class versus Liu.

The current Philippine No.1 men’s singles player is coming off back-to-back title wins in Lucena and Butuan.

Riding the crest of those victories and his conquest of Sheng, Lim went off to a hot start against Liu.
