Brodeth seeks ‘double’

MANILA, Philippines — Kimi Brodeth hopes to ride the momentum of her title romp in the Masters Top 8, gunning for two titles in the PPS-PEPP Iloilo City National Juniors tennis championships, which get going today at the LaPaz Plaza courts.

The Ormoc City star turned back Bacolod’s Hannah Divinagracia, 4-6, 6-0, 6-0, to claim the girls’ 16-U trophy in last Monday’s Masters Top 8 in San Carlos, Negros Occidental.

But Brodeth, who racked up a number of PPS-PEPP leg titles in last year’s edition of the country’s longest talent-search presented by Dunlop, will not only be shooting for her age-group crown but also the 18-U plum in the Group 1 tournament sponsored by Mayor Jerry Trenas and executive assistant for Youth and Sports Rudiver Jungco Sr.

Other campaigners who shone in the Masters Top 8 are also in the fold.
