Congrats to Paola Longoria<\/strong> and Samantha Salas<\/strong> on their US Open doubles title. Lets review the event.<\/p>\n

In the qualifying rounds:
\n– Yazmine Sabja<\/strong> R\u00e1quetbol<\/a> and Nancy Enriquez<\/a><\/strong> first took out accomplished international doubles player Aimee Aimee Roehler Ruiz<\/a><\/strong>, playing with Erika Manilla<\/a><\/strong>. Ruiz holds 6 career major international titles and is a tough out in every doubles tourney.
\n– Sabja and Enriquez turned around and defeated the #5 seeded Michelle De La Rosa<\/a><\/strong> and Carla Carla<\/a><\/strong> Mu\u00f1oz<\/strong> Montesinos<\/a> in two. <\/span><\/p>\n

– In another surprise result, the Bolivian team of Jenny Daza Navia<\/a><\/strong> and Angelica Barrios<\/a><\/strong> took out the experienced USA team of Rhonda Rajsich<\/a><\/strong> and Sheryl Lotts<\/strong> to advance to the main draw.<\/p>\n

————————–
\nIn the quarters:
\n– Top seeds and winners of the last four LPRT doubles events Paola Longoria<\/a> and Samantha Salas Solis<\/a> advanced in two over Susy Acosta<\/a><\/strong> and Kelani Kelani Lawrence<\/a><\/strong> (the reigning USA amateur doubles champ)
\n– Sabja and Enriquez continued their upsetting ways, taking out #4 seeds Argentinian national team of Maria Jose Vargas<\/strong> and Natalia Mendez<\/strong>. Vargas & Mendez are the defending 2018 South American champs and were quarterfinalists at worlds; this is a solid win.
\n– The Bolivian team of Daza\/Barrios upset another favored team in the quarters, taking out Colombian National team reps and #3 seeds Adriana Riveros<\/a><\/strong> and Amaya Cris<\/a><\/strong>. Riveros\/Amaya were semi-finalists at IRF worlds earlier this year and have been representing Colombia as a team for two years now.
\n– The reigning Mexican national champs and 2018 World runners-up Alexandra Herrera<\/a><\/strong> and Montse Mejia<\/a><\/strong> advanced easily over Masiel Rivera Oporto<\/a><\/strong> and Daniela Molina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the semis:
\n– Top seeds Longoria and Salas put an end to the upset run of Sabja and Enriquez 7,9
\n– #2 seeds Herrera and Mejia destroyed the Bolivian team of Daza\/Barrios 10,2.<\/p>\n

The final represented a match-up of in-arguably the two top doubles teams in the world. This was a re-match of the World Open Doubles title in May, the Mexican National Selection event in June, and the first LPRT pro event in August.<\/p>\n

In the end, the #1 seeds prevailed in a tight match 10,14 to capture the title.<\/p>\n

Paola Longoria<\/a> and Salas are now an astounding 65-3 together in pro doubles dating to Sept 2013 (the beginning of ladies pro doubles tracking) and have added numerous amateur and international titles on top.<\/p>\n
