Another multi-title haul for Bugna

MANILA, Philippines — Kathlyn Bugna continued her impressive ascent in Philippine junior tennis, claiming a dominant triple-title sweep, including two in girls’ singles, at the VARAC National Juniors Tournament in Cebu City on Wednesday.

The 14-year-old sensation from La Carlota City, Negros defended her throne in her age category, dispatching doubles partner Theriz Zapatos, 6-1, 6-1, in a commanding final performance at the Villa Aurora Racquet Club (VARAC) courts.

Bugna then fended off Donna Mae Diamante, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, in the U-16 finale to complete another double.

Capping her amazing run, Bugna and Zapatos teamed up to clinch the 14-and-U girls’ doubles title with an 8-1 rout of Sabrina Aldeguer and Isobel Alipo-On, securing Bugna another multi-title haul following similar feats in Pasig’s MAC Crankit tournament and in previous PPS-PEPP legs.
