Carlos, Bayking secure WTA Futures berths
Date Published: September 25, 2018
Macie Carlos and Bliss Bayking bolstered their promising tennis careers by topping
the Cebuana Lhuillier Girls’ Tennis Challenge at Makati Sports Club on Sunday and
claiming berths in the WTA Future Stars Tournament in Singapore next month.
The top-seeded Carlos overpowered Mica Emana, 6-1, 6-2, to capture the 14-and-under
crown while Bayking fended off Justine Maneja, 6-4, 6-1, in the 16-U finals of the
Unified Tennis Philippines-sanctioned event which served as a qualifier for the
Women’s Tennis Association event.
“I hope you will continue to learn from this experience as you try to make our country
proud,” Cebuana Lhuillier president/CEO and UTP founder Jean Henri Lhuillier told
Carlos and Bayking, who will be slugging it out with their counterparts from across
the Asia-Pacific region on Oct. 15 to 22 in Singapore.
