Kathlyn Bugna hardly showed signs of rust despite coming off a long layoff as she clinched twin-title feats in the Cong. Eric Olivarez National Open Tennis Championships in Sucat, Parafiaque over the weekend.

The 14-year-old standout from La Carlota City reaffirmed her status as one of the country’s most promising junior players by dominating the 14-under category as the third seed with a clinical 6-2, 6-2 victory over No. 5 Michaela Suarez at the Olivarez Sports Center.

She then showed no letup in the 16-under finals, blasting past No. 6 Tori Deocampo, 6-0, 6-1, as the No. 2 seed in the Group 2 tournament held as part of the Olivarez family’s longstanding commitment to junior tennis development.
