🏆 FIRST SERVE TOURNAMENT 2026 🏆
Three weekends. Four gold podium finishes. A remarkable four-tournament winning streak. 🏆
From the Kalayaan Cup 2026, to the Champion Smash of The Chill Pickle Club, to the Harvest Cup 2026 Advance Championships, and now the First Serve Tournament 2026 Juniors. we have achieved another back-to-back gold podium finish.
Today, we competed in the Juniors 16U division kahit may bagyo, baha, pagod and puyat, and still secured the championship title in both Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles. 🥇🥇
These victories are a testament to the value of disciplined and consistent training. Preparation requires dedication, sacrifice, and perseverance, but when it is done properly, it produces meaningful results. The late nights, repetitive drills, conditioning sessions, match analysis, sacrifices, and countless hours on the court all contribute to success.
This championship, however, is not solely about the player. It belongs to everyone who supported us behind the scenes. 🙏
