One of WOR – World Outdoor Racquetball<\/a>‘s 3 biggest annual events of the year is this weekend; its the 2018 3-Wall Ball championships being held in Las Vegas. The courts are constructed outside the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino and the WOR event is combined with Paddleball and Handball events to be a massive outdoor festival in Sin City.<\/p>\n

More than 200 Racquetball players are entered, including a bunch of international players that should make the pro events quite interesting. Draws are now online at this r2sports.com link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a preview of the various Pro events.<\/p>\n

Men’s 3-wall Pro Singles: 9 guys entered. #1 seed Luis Avila<\/strong> is the 2018 outdoor champ<\/a> and a favorite to make the final. On the other side, Bolivian powerhouse Conrrado Moscoso <\/strong><\/a>is in town and will make some noise. I’m predicting Moscoso over Avila in the final.<\/p>\n

Women’s 3-wall Pro Singles: four players entered; three LPRT top 10 touring pros and veteran outdoor power Janel Tisinger-Ledkins<\/strong>. I’m predicting a Tisinger-Rhonda Rajsich<\/a><\/strong> final in the RR stage for the title. They’ve met more than a few times to settle a major outdoor title; see this link for all outdoor finals in the database<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Men’s 3-wall Pro doubles: 14 teams, including a ton of very qualified WOR players. I’ll predict a Daniel De La Rosa\/Alvaro Beltran<\/a><\/strong> versus David Horn\/<\/a><\/strong>Robert Sostre<\/strong><\/a> final, with the current world champs<\/a> coming out on top.<\/p>\n

Women’s 3-wall Pro doubles: 4 teams competing RR all weekend. I’ll go with Jacqueline Paraiso-Larsson<\/a><\/strong> and Janel Tisinger-Ledkins<\/a><\/strong> coming out on top over Carla Mu\u00f1oz<\/strong> <\/a> and Michelle De La Rosa<\/a><\/strong> .<\/p>\n

Mixed 3-wall pro doubles: hard to bet against the husband-wife De La Rosa pair, who could face off against Rajsich and tourney promoter and outdoor legend Rick “Soda Man” Koll<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year there’s also One-Wall pro doubles events, with some of the dominant one-wall players in the mix.<\/p>\n

Men’s 1-wall pro doubles: hard to bet against a team that includes one-wall legend from New York; Horn\/Sostre over fellow New Yorkers Nick Montalbano<\/a>\/William Rolon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mixed 1-wall pro doubles: just two teams entered, but it could be a great match: Rajsich\/Koll versus Tisinger\/Jason Geis<\/strong>. I’ll go with the lefty\/righty matchup here for the title, while also rooting for a DC-area guy Gies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
