BLOG UPDATE: Bella Advances to the FINALS at the Tournament of Champions!

After a gritty Round 2 battle on lanes 3 and 4, Bella Love Castillo is headed to the final match of the Tournament of Champions!

She fought through early splits, stayed composed through every open, and surged ahead in Game 2 with a double, clean spares, and the kind of determination that defines a true competitor. Her ability to adjust, regroup, and finish strong has earned her a spot in the finals.

And the best part?

She’s going up against her doubles partner and teammate, Annika.

Two teammates.

Two two-handers.

Both Youth Open competitors.

Both elite.

Now—meeting in the finals on lanes 11 and 12.

This isn’t just a match.

It’s a moment.

The kind of moment that reminds us why we do this—why we train, why we travel, why we compete with heart and humility.

We couldn’t be prouder of Bella’s performance so far.

She’s stayed true to who she is every step of the way—competitive, composed, and full of love for the game and the people in it.

Finals are up next.

Let’s go, B~Love. Finish what you started.
