John David Velez and Tennielle Madis sustained their form and nailed victories in emphatic fashions as they shared top honors in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala Kidapawan City leg regional age-group tennis circuit at the KC Tennis Club last Monday.

Davao City’s Velez, priming up for a three-month training at the Macs Crankit Tennis Academy in Australia, overpowered John Sonsona, 6-1, 6-1, for the boys’ 14-and-under crown while Madis crushed Reicy Bentillo, 4-1, 4-1, to run away with the 10-unisex title. The rising star from Mlang also held off Jilian Manangking, 6-1, 6-4, to clinch the girls’ 12-U crown.
