Kathlyn Bugna continued to showcase her dominance in the junior tennis circuit, capturing another impressive triple-title finish, including two in singles play, at the Lapu-Lapu City National Junior Tennis Championships last Thursday in Cebu.
Displaying relentless form in her province-hopping campaign for tennis glory, the 14-year-old phenom powered her way to another singles title in her age category.
Ranked second, Bugna stunned top seed Nadine Seno with a commanding 6-2, 6-0 victory in the finals.
Her near-flawless performance across four matches saw her drop only four games in total, underlining her superiority.
Building on that momentum, the La Carlota City-Batang Onay standout clinched the girls’ 16U crown as well, dismantling Theriz Zapatos, 6-2, 6-2. The back-to-back titles mirrored her earlier success in the MAC’s Crankit tournament, where she triumphed in multiple legs, including Iloilo, Bacolod, Roxas and Kalibo.
Bugna’s latest Most Valuable Player (MVP) title further solidified her status as the most promising junior talent in the country’s longest-running tennis series — the PPS-PEPP circuit.
