Patricia Velez posted another two-title romp at home turf but NCR’s Matthew Garcia grabbed the spotlight when he upended local ace Jhon David Velez to snare the boys’ 14-and-under crown in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala regional tennis circuit at the GSIS Tennis Club in Davao on Monday.

Patricia flashed the form that netted her the 16- and 18-U titles in Kidapawan and Koronadal the last three weeks, thwarting Danna Abad, 6-4, 6-4, in the 16-U finals and turning back Gennifer Pagente, 7-5, 6-1, for the 18-U diadem in the Group 2 tournament sponsored by Palawan Pawnshop and presented by Slazenger.
