Three of the top four seeds are through, and the fourth player through was really no surprise to those watching the women’s world game these days. – #1 Paola … <\/p>\n
\n– #12 Gaby Martinez<\/a><\/strong> “upset” #4 Alexandra Herrera<\/a><\/strong> in four close games, though this was probably the expected result based on Martinez’ win at IRF Worlds in August.
\n– #3 Samantha Salas<\/strong> Solis<\/a> continued her recent form over #6 Rhonda Rajsich<\/a><\/strong>, winning in four games.
\n– #2 Frederique Lambert<\/a><\/strong> got a solid win over the upset-minded Bolivia Yazmine Sabja<\/strong> Aliss<\/a>, reversing their historical h2h record.<\/p>\n
\n– Martinez gets another shot at Longoria; she got the win at Worlds, but then fell in the first LPRT event of the season at this same gate. I suspect Longoria is “up” for this match again and moves on.
\n– Despite being the higher seed, Lambert is just 4-12 lifetime against Salas, which included a 3-game domination at the LPRT season opener. Salas moves on to setup yet another finals rematch with Longoria.<\/p>\n
