Let’s review the notable matches in the Singles draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 32s, a couple of notable results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sanchez took out MRR to move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Synhorst topped the veteran Acosta in a solid win<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 16s, just a couple of notable matches to mention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Lexi York took #5 Herrera to a breaker but fell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The sole upset was #11 Parrilla taking out #6 Laime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Quarters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #1 Longoria did what she normally does against #8 Lawrence, grinding out a solid win<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #4 Gaby made fast work of #5 Herrera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #3 Mejia took out her long-time rival Parrilla 8,7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #2 Vargas was pushed by her former doubles partner Mendez but advanced 2,11<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Semis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Longoria came out on top of a close 13,14 match against Gaby, who always seems to play Paola tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– In the increasingly tough 2\/3 battle, Mejia came out on top over Vargas in a breaker. She advances to her 3rd straight final in as many chances after going months without doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Finals, Mejia had it going on this day, winning13,5 to take the title, her 2nd in the last three events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Points Implications of results<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite losing in the final, Longoria has officially sewn up her 14th career pro title. She has an insurmountable 334 point lead in the season-to-date standings, and with just one non-Grand slam event remaining she cannot be caught. Longoria returns to the top after missing out on the last two year end titles, and heads into the new season with a commanding lead, having made the final of all 6 stops thus far this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other interesting rankings movement: going by Season-to-date standings, Mejia has not yet sewn up #2 but is close to doing so, but should jump Vargas for that slot in the year end event. Mendez has made a huge jump and projects to finish 5th. After years of being in the top 4, Herrera looks to slip all the way to #8. Munoz’ absence here costs here dearly; she’s projecting to finish #13 now. Lastly, three players are tied with the exact same number of points for 14th place (York, Lotts, and Synhorst), which will make the last event super interesting if they all attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a link to my IRT Rolling 2year Calendar XLS, which I use to approximate the points after each event. It is not exact but it’s usually close enough to the actual rankings, which @Ryan Rodgers does with @R2 Sports App on behalf of the tour after each event, to allow some quick post-event analysis before the rankings post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ladies are right back at it, driving down I95 from DC to get to Charlotte for the season-ending Sweet Caroline Open, normally held in Greenville SC but moving this year due to club renovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
