Longoria blitzed the lefty in game two, and then the tie-breaker was a back and forth affair that looked like it could go either way. In the end, Paola got a quick lead and then ended the match on an avoidable, a bummer of an ending for a great match.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Doubles review<br>Match report in the PRS database: http:\/\/rball.pro\/A67933<br>Two upsets in the quarters; one expected and one not. The underseeded team of Vargas\/Sotomayor took out the #2 seeds Herrera\/Munoz in a tie-breaker, while the pairing of Flores\/Lawrence shocked the regularly teamed up Parrilla\/Perez in a tie-breaker to earn a semis spot.<br>In the semis\u2026.#1 Longoria\/Salas were pushed by the upstart Flores\/Lawrence team but advanced in a breaker. #3 Mendez\/Centellas took out Vargas\/Sotomayor in two straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the final, the #1 team won again, claiming their 35th pro doubles title together.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Women&#8217;s Open, other draws<br>An odd Women&#8217;s Open draw was robbed of any drama on the top side, as both top seeds Barrios and Centellas forfeited. This gave Lawrence a free shot into the final, having only to play one match against a local player who she vanquished 0,0.<br>On the bottom side, it was a different story, as four top LPRT players duked it out. Munoz got a solid win over Flores, and Sotomayor got a solid win over Manilla, and then Munoz took out the tiring Sotomayor in the semis 11-8 to earn a shot against Kelani in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In that final, Lawrence got a very solid win over Munoz in a breaker.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men&#8217;s Pro draw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A 13-player IRT pro draw featured a couple of traveling pros in @Maurice Miller and Rodrigo Rodriguez, who met in the final. There, the young lefty downed the veteran IRT touring pro 9,12 for the title.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for all the streaming on the weekend, especially from broadcasters Timothy Baghurst, Jerry J Josey Jr., JP Edwards and @Tj Baumbaugh]<br>Thanks to the Tourney Director Geoff Peters for putting this event on and generally being one of the biggest racquetball benefactors out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reminder to Players!
