MANILA, Philippines — Jan Cadee Dagoon delivered a stellar performance in the Mayor Doc Totep Calderon Cup National Junior Tennis Championships, securing a remarkable three-title sweep in the girls’ singles competitions at the Lado del Rio Resort courts in Roxas, Isabela over the weekend.

The 14-year-old Dagoon showcased her dominance in her age category, drubbing Jolina Bacog, 6-4, 6-2, in the final. She then played beyond her years to clinch both the 16- and 18-and-under titles, earning MVP honors in the Group 3 tournament presented by Dunlop.

The Olongapo City native trounced doubles partner Athena Liwag, 6-2, 6-1, in the 16-and-U championship and upset top seed Yeoji Gonzales, 6-4, 6-1, to reign in the premier 18-and-U division.

While Dagoon dominated her side, the boys’ singles competitions were fiercely contested. Ilagan, Isabela’s Al Matteo Lagamia, along with Olongapo’s Troan Vytiaco and Joaquin Dacyon, shared top honors.
