Vita completes ‘golden double’ in B Bonanza tilt

Indonesians Marissa Vita and Keshya Hanadia held off the late-charging Alyssa Leonardo and Thea Pomar and hacked out a 21-11, 23-21 victory to snare the Open women’s doubles crown in the Bingo Bonanza National Open Badminton Tournament at Glorietta 5 Atrium in Makati City late Sunday.

Vita and Hanadia, who booted out top seed Jessie Francisco and Eleanor Inlayo in the quarters, seized control early with their grit and style, scoring on long rallies while pouncing on their PBA-Smash Pilipinas rivals’ miscues at endgame to fashion out the 30-minute victory.
