Exequiel Jucutan flashed top form and captured two titles while Marielle Alexie Jarata posted a win and a runner-up finish in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala Southwoods leg regional age-group tennis tournament at the Southwoods tennis courts in Carmona, Cavite on Thursday.

The fourth-ranked Jucutan, 12, dropped just two games in three matches to reach the finals of his age-division then stunned No. 2 Marc Jarata, 6-2, 6-3, to snare the crown. The rising star from Pangasinan later re-asserted his mastery over the top-seeded Jarata, scoring a 6-0, 6-2, romp in the 14-U finals to complete a “double” in the Group 2 tournament sponsored by Palawan Pawnshop and presented by Slazenger.
