Averille Sacapano lived up to her billing while Al Francis Andrade bucked the odds and upended his fancied rivals to nail two titles each in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala regional age-group tennis tournament at the Puerto Princesa and Camp 570 Tennis Club yesterday.

Sacapano stamped her class in the girls’ 16-and-under play with a run of straight-set victories, including a 6-3, 6-1 romp over Franzyn Billones in the finals. The 14-year-old rising star from Boracay also swept her way to the 18-U crown, capped by a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Khyshana Hitosis in the championship.
