Kimi Brodeth and Mcleen Gomera firmed up their status as two of the best players in the ranks as they fashioned out a pair of resounding victories in singles play in the Lapu-Lapu City Juniors Fiesta National Tennis Championships Leg 1 in Cebu City last Monday.

Brodeth yielded just three games in three matches to secure the girls' 16-and-under crown, including a 6-0, 6-1 romp over Kate Imalay of Bato, Leyte in the finals.

The Ormoc, Leyte star then overpowered Imus, Cavite's Sandra Bautista, 6-2, 6-1, to run away with the 18-and-U trophy and complete another two-title run in the Group I tournament at the Lapu-Lapu City Tennis Club.

Gomera likewise imposed his will early in the boys' division of the first two PPS-PEPP legs in Cebu City, blasting Kenzo Brodeth, 6-2, 6-1, in the 16-and-U championship then smothering Juvels Velos, 6-3, 6-1, for the 18-and-U diadem in the week-long tournament.

Brodeth and Gomera shared the MVP honors in the event.

Young Caroliean Fiel, also from Ormoc, also posted a two-title feat, subduing Val Ian Gairanod, 4-2, 5-4(3), in the 10-unisex finals and upending top seed Maristella Torrecampo in a thriller of a duel, 4-6, 7-6(2), 10-8, for the girls' 12-and-U plum.

Ma. Nina Torrejos and Kenzo Brodeth capped the Ormoc City bets' romp as the former held off Imalay, 6-1, 7-5, and the latter whipped Christian Laguna, 6-0, 6-0, to share the 14-and-U titles.

Claudwin Tonacao, on the other hand, repulsed fellow Bogo City, Cebu native Gil Niere, 7-6(4), 6-0, in the boys' 12-and-U finals.
