Making a formidable performance, Negros’ Kathlyn Bugna proved her supremacy after sweeping three titles in a dominant showing at the Bagong Pilipinas Juniors Age-Group Championships at the Villareal Stadium courts in Roxas City, Capiz.
Representing Batang Onay/RSB, the native of La Carlota delivered a near-flawless campaign, bagging the girls’ 16-and-under and 18-and-under singles crowns before adding the 18-and-U doubles title to complete a commanding triple-title haul in the Group 2 tournament that featured top young talents nationwide.
Bugna dropped just one game en route to the 16-and-U title and yielded only three games in the 18-and-U division, underscoring her growing dominance and consistency on the national circuit.
In the 16-and-U finals, Bugna secured the crown with a 2-1 (ret.) win over doubles partner Theriz Zapatos, capping a dominant run that included lopsided victories against Dominique Calingasan and Princess Obaniana.
Dominating the premier division, she defeated Besper Zapatos, 6-1, 6-1, before advancing past Theriz Zapatos via a 1-0 (ret.) semifinal result. She then crushed Tori Deocampo, 6-1, 6-1, in the finals to seal another emphatic championship.
Finishing the complete victory, Bugna teamed up with Theriz Zapatos to rout Deocampo and Besper Zapatos, 8-3, in the 18-and-U doubles finals.IMT Sports
