Here’s a review of Thursday LPRT singles action and a preview of Friday’s quarters.<\/p>\n

LPRT round of 32 surprises:<\/p>\n

– Argentinian Maria Jose Vargas<\/strong> (the #7 seed) was upset in the 32s, losing to Bolivian veteran international player Jenny Daza<\/strong> Navia<\/a>.
\n– Brenda Laime<\/strong> Jalil<\/a> got an upset win over American Sheryl Lotts<\/strong> in 4.
\n– #4 Alexandra Herrera<\/a><\/strong> was stretched as far as you can go by Michelle De La Rosa<\/a><\/strong> , winning 12-10 in the 5th. These two spent an awful long time on the court; the first game was 16-14 and two other games went “extra time.” Tough match.
\n– Montserrat Perez<\/strong> came from 2 games down to upset #14 Adrienne Fisher Haynes<\/a>.<\/strong>
\n– Ana Laura Flores<\/strong> got a upset win over #15 Susy Acosta<\/a><\/strong> in 4.
\n– Bolivian star Yazmine Sabja <\/strong><\/a>took out #10 Carla Mu\u00f1oz<\/strong> Montesinos<\/a> in 5 games, opening a pathway to the quarters.
\n– #1 Paola Longoria<\/a><\/strong> put two donuts on Erika Manilla<\/a><\/strong> … then was stretched to 13-11 in game three to advance by the odd-looking score of 0,0,11.<\/p>\n

LPRT round of 16 notables:
\n– Ana Gabrielle Gaby Martinez<\/a><\/strong> had a much easier time with Enriquez this time around, advancing in four (they went 12-10 in the 5th earlier this season).
\n– Herrera rebounded from nearly being upset in the 32s to advance past Laime in 4.
\n– Mexican junior phenom Montse Mejia<\/a><\/strong> took a game off the #1 Longoria before the champ advanced in 4.
\n– In a battle of Bolivians, Sabja downed country-mate Daza in a battle of upset seeds to advance to the quarters.<\/p>\n

Quarterfinals Preview: don’t forget to run my LPRT top 20 Head to Head matrix<\/a> to see the “Tale of the Tape” match-up reports for these matches<\/p>\n

– #1 Longoria v #8 Natalia Mendez<\/strong>: Longoria 2-0 lifetime on LPRT against Natalia and does not seem likely to fall at this stage.
\n– #12 Martinez v #4 Herrera: Martinez is the underdog here by seed, but has been on a tear lately and is the favorite to advance.
\n– #3 Salas v #6 Rhonda Rajsich<\/strong>: Salas is just 6-11 lifetime against Rhonda, but has one 4 of the last 6 meetings on the LPRT. Salas has nearly completed her comeback from surgery last season and is the favorite to advance here.
\n– #2 Frederique Lambert<\/strong> vs #23 Sabja; They’ve met twice; once in an IRF event, once last year on the LPRT. Sabja took both. I sense her continuing her upset streak at this event. Sabja in 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
