Momentum continues to build for Philippine grassroots tennis as the Palawan Juniors Tennis Series moves to Cebu following a successful Mindanao opener, reinforcing its mission of developing future champions through quality competition.

Promising young netters from the Visayas are set to battle for titles, valuable ranking points and national recognition when the Cebu leg gets underway from 9 to 14 July at the City of Naga Tennis Courts in Naga City.

Sanctioned by the Philippine Tennis Association and Universal Tennis Rating (UTR), the Group 2 tournament forms part of Palawan Pawnshop’s long-term grassroots development program aimed at providing Filipino juniors with a consistent, high-level competitive platform where they can sharpen their skills, gain valuable match experience and steadily progress toward higher levels of competition.

Registration remains open for the second leg of the nationwide circuit through the UTR Platform, with all eligible junior players encouraged to participate in one of the country’s premier ranking events.

Following the City of Naga tournament, the circuit moves to Cebu City for the third leg on 16 to 21 July at the Villa Aurora Tennis Courts in Pardo before concluding the Visayas swing on 23 to 28 July at the Mandaue Tennis Courts.

The nationwide circuit is spearheaded by Palawan Pawnshop president and CEO Bobby Castro, whose continued support has helped expand opportunities for young Filipino players through regular, professionally organized tournaments. The program also enjoys the backing of ICON Golf and Sports, Dunlop and the Palawan Group of Companies, whose partnership underscores a collective effort to elevate Philippine tennis and discover the country’s next generation of champions.
