AJ Lim Captures Fourth PCA Men’s Singles Title, Extends Dominance in Philippine Tennis By Marlon Bernardino PhilBoxing.com Wed, 08 Oct 2025 Alberto “AJ” Lim Jr. once again displayed his mastery on the court after overpowering top rival Jed Olivarez, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4, to capture his third consecutive and fourth overall PCA Men’s Singles Open crown during the prestigious PCA Tennis Championships held in Paco, Manila on Sunday, October 5. In a showdown between the tournament’s No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, the 26-year-old Lim proved too strong, dictating the tempo early before quelling Olivarez’s late rally. The victory not only reaffirmed Lim’s status as the country’s premier men’s tennis player but also underscored his consistency and composure under pressure. “We are tremendously proud and filled with joy at AJ Lim’s performance,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President of the Unified Tennis Philippines (UTP) and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier. “His dedication, discipline, and heart truly reflect the spirit of Cebuana Lhuillier. To see him rise once more to claim the PCA Open title is a moment of great pride not only for us, but for Philippine tennis as a whole.” Lim, a proud Cebuana Lhuillier tennis ambassador, took home the ₱200,000 top prize in recognition of his latest triumph. His first PCA title came in 2015 when, at just 16 years old, he became the youngest ever champion in the tournament’s storied history. This latest win adds to an already remarkable career that continues to inspire the next generation of Filipino tennis hopefuls. Meanwhile, in other results, veterans Johnny Arcilla and Bryan Saarenas captured the men’s doubles crown after outlasting Fritz Chris Verdad and Rolly Saga, 6-3, 5-7, (11-9), while Tennielle Madis dominated Kaye Anne Emana, 6-0, 6-3, to clinch the women’s singles title.-Marlon Bernardino- Click here to view a list of other articles written by Marlon Bernardino.  |
