John David Velez flashed superb skills and staying power, coming away with a three-title romp in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala Davao leg age-group tennis circuit at the GSIS Tennis Club on Monday.

Velez fashioned out a 6-1, 6-1 victory in the boys’ 14-and-under finals then scored a 6-1, 6-0 win in the 16-U championship, both against Karl Palo. The rising Davaoeño star then trampled Meynard Badal, 6-1, 6-1, to claim the 18-U diadem in the Group 1 tournament sponsored by Palawan Pawnshop and presented by Slazenger with Dunlop as the official ball.
