Patricia Velez redeemed herself from a pair of failed title bids with a two-division sweep while younger brother John David matched her feat in the boys’ side of the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala Bukidnon regional age-group tennis tournament at the DPWH and Malaybalay Tennis Club on Monday.

Patricia used her power and experience to score a shutout victory over Novi Melendez, 6-0, 6-0, in the girls’ 18-and-under finals and dropped just a game in her 6-0, 6-1 romp over Ivy Poliquit to bag the 16-U diadem in the Group 5 tournament sponsored by Palawan Pawnshop with Slazenger as presentor.
