Manila: Nadine Seno hopes to keep winning form in the second leg of the Palawan Juniors Series Visayas on Thursday at the Villa Aurora courts in Pardo, Cebu City. Seno is seeking to duplicate her twin victories (girls' U14 and U16) last week.

According to Philippines News Agency, Seno faces a stern challenge in the U14 category where No. 1 Ma. Caroliean Fiel and No. 2 Jaynelle Castro are tipped to contend for the title. In the U16 category, top seed Alexa Cruspero leads the field that also features Fiel and Donna Diamante.

Meanwhile, Madison Rago of Bohol is aiming to add the boys' U14 title to the U16 title he won in the first leg. Rago moves into the Cebu leg with the No. 6 ranking in the boys' U14 category despite his victory in Naga City. He joins a loaded cast headed by top seed Wynn Calagos and featuring Andrio Estrella, Marcus Sio, Pete Niere and Drig Escobar. Rago also braces for a tougher assignment in the U16 class, where top seed Matthew Morris heads the title chase alongside Anthony Espinosa, Calagos, and Gil Niere.

Presented by Dunlop, the week-long tournament is sanctioned by the Philippine Tennis Association (Philta) and the Universal Tennis Rating (UTR), with ranking points at stake for all participants. More importantly, the Visayas circuit underscores the Palawan Juniors Series' long-term commitment to grassroots tennis development.

Following the successful launch of the Mindanao leg, the regional tour, initiated by Palawan Pawnshop President and Chief Executive Officer Bobby Castro, continues to provide young players with regular, high-level competition designed to accelerate their growth, sharpen their competitive skills, and identify future national team prospects. The Visayas swing winds up at the Mandaue courts on July 23-28.
