The Filipino ‘pepper’ striker caused a stir in the 2023 VTV Cup women’s volleyball tournament

Playing as an outside hitter, Sisi Rondina stands out in her team not just for her skill but also for her petite stature. The Choco Mucho star measures just 1.68m tall, making her the shortest player on the team.

While the quality of the other guest teams at the VTV Cup 2023, such as Australia, Kansai University, and Suwon, has been criticized, Choco Mucho from the Philippines is the only team deemed worth watching.

The Spotlight on Sisi Rondina

In this Philippine club, the diminutive but formidable Cherry Ann “Sisi” Rondina is the player attracting the most attention. Despite her height, she is the most dangerous hitter on the team.

Sisi Rondina, standing at just 1.68m, possesses a reach of 2.98m, drawing comparisons to Gabi from Brazil. This capability has made her the most notable international player at this year’s VTV Cup.

Rising to Fame

Few know that this is Sisi Rondina’s first year playing professional indoor volleyball. Previously, she was renowned as a beach volleyball athlete in the Philippines.

In beach volleyball, she was a member of the national team and had received numerous individual accolades. This year marks her official transition to indoor volleyball.

Despite her modest height, Rondina compensates with her agility and comprehensive play style. She is seen as an athlete brimming with energy, capable of scoring from any position on the court.

As the VTV Cup 2023 continues, all eyes are on Sisi Rondina, whose impressive performances are taking the volleyball world by storm.
