Longoria wins twice on the weekend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Congrats to Paola Longoria<\/strong> on her double win on the weekend. This is her 85th tier-1 singles tourney win, nearly double the next closest competitor in the ladies pro tour history.<\/p>\n

The matches are now in the DB; here’s the Singles Match Report link:

Lets review the event.<\/p>\n

In the qualifiers, Adrienne Fisher Haynes<\/a><\/strong> overpowered the retired champ Cheryl Gudinas<\/a><\/strong> , and Masiel Rivera Oporto<\/a><\/strong> ousted international vet Maria Renee Rodriguez<\/strong> in four (the only “upset” by seeding for the play-in rounds).<\/p>\n

The round of 16 went completely chalk, with all eight top seeds advancing. 7 of the 8 matches were three straight games, though #8 Natalia Mendez<\/strong> took three tight games over #9 Cristina Amaya Cris<\/a><\/strong> 9,9,8. Only Maria Jose Vargas<\/strong> was stretched to four, dropping a game to Adriana Riveros<\/a><\/strong> before advancing.<\/p>\n

In the Quarters…a couple of surprising results. #1 Paola Longoria<\/a><\/strong> dropped a game to Mendez but advanced. #4 Alexandra Herrera<\/a><\/strong> got a solid win over #5 Nancy Enriquez<\/strong>, #3 Salas had a 4-game win over Vargas, and #7 Rhonda Rajsich<\/a> <\/strong>got an upset win over #2 Frederique Lambert<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the semis…Longoria overpowered #4 Herrera in three to advance to her 99th career tier-1 final, but Salas was stretched to the limit by Rajsich, requiring a 5th game tiebreaker to advance to her 13th career final.<\/p>\n

In the final: Salas did what she could to stay with Longoria, but it was another 3-game win for the champion. Longoria improves to 45-3 career h2h against her frequent doubles partner.

\nThe doubles draw saw an 8-team competition, and much closer matches.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Doubles match report:

In the quarters, the top team of Longoria\/Salas was stretched to a tiebreaker by the team of Nancy Enriquez<\/a> and current world doubles champion Yazmine Sabja Aliss<\/a><\/strong> before losing. Lambert\/Munoz upset the Argentinian national team of Vargas\/Mendez. The US National doubles team Rajsich\/Sheryl Lotts<\/strong> reversed some recent form and trounced the Colombian National #1 team of Riveros\/Amaya. Lastly the #2 seeds Herrera\/Rodriguez came back from a game one pounding to advance in a tiebreaker.<\/p>\n

The semis were anticlimactic,with the #1 team getting an injury walkover into the final when Carla Munoz turned her ankle, and the #2 team advancing easily 7,9.<\/p>\n

The final was similarly anti-climactic, as the world’s best team wiped out the make-shift #2 seeds 7,2 for the win. Longoria & Salas improve to an amazing 68-3 record in pro doubles since we started tracking it in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
