Brodeths share PPS MVP honors

MANILA, Philippines — Kimi Brodeth scored an expected sweep of the girls’ premier crowns while brother Kenzo stunned top seed Cyd Villamar in 16-U play to complete a two-title romp in the Mayor Lucy Torres-Gomez National Junior Tennis Championships at the Ormoc Midtown Tennis Club over the weekend.

The in-form Kimi continued her dominant run in the three-leg Leyte swing of the PPS-PEPP junior circuit, blanking Kate Imalay, 6-0, 6-0, in the 16-U finals then crushing Corazon Lambonao, 6-1, 6-4, in the 18-U.

For his part, Kenzo ripped Christian Laguna, 6-0, 6-3, for the 14-U trophy then repulsed Villamar, 3-6, 6-4, 10-6, as the Brodeths became the first siblings to share MVP honors in the country’s longest-talent search put up by Palawan Pawnshop president/CEO Bobby Castro.
