MANILA, Philippines —  AJ Lim showed his readiness to shoot for a medal in the Southeast Asian Games in December in topping the men’s singles of the PCA Open in Paco, Manila over the weekend.

Lim’s 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Jed Olivarez not only secured his fourth crown in the annual meet but also reaffirmed his status as the country’s top male netter.

It also earned the 26-year-old Lim the top purse worth P200,000.

“We are tremendously proud and filled with joy at AJ Lim’s performance,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, whose Cebuana Lhuillier has helped bankroll Lim’s SEA Games preparation.

“His dedication, discipline, and heart truly reflect the spirit of Cebuana Lhuillier. To see him rise once more to claim the PCA Open title is a moment of great pride not only for us, but for Philippine tennis as a whole,” he added.
