Longoria wins again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Congrats to Paola Longoria<\/strong> on her win this weekend in NY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this win:
– this is Paola’s 90th tournament title in the database and 97th that she claims (we have yet to reconcile this difference with her media group).
– She remains undefeated on the season, improving to 33-0.
– Paola creates an insurmountable lead at the top of the season to date rankings, ensuring her 10th pro title (more on that later).
– Paola extends her current match winning streak to 37.
– She improves to 49-3 career on the LPRT over #2 Salas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s notable results by round:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 32s\/qualifiers:
– #12\u00a0Brenda Laime Jalil<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0needed four to get by Canadian\u00a0Mich\u00e8le Morissette<\/strong><\/a>, who just finished representing Canada at PARCs 2019 and played solidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

————————
In the 16s:
– In a battle of two of the worlds best, far too early, #1\u00a0Paola Longoria<\/strong><\/a> avenged a loss in the 2019 Mexican Nationals final to top\u00a0Montse Mejia<\/strong><\/a>\u00a011-7 in the 5th. It was a battle though, a back and forth 5-game monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #5\u00a0Rhonda Rajsich<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0came from two games down to take out youngster Laime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #6\u00a0Natalia Mendez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0took a 3-game win over #11\u00a0Masiel Rivera Oporto<\/strong><\/a>\u00a08,9,9. Closer than it seemed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #10\u00a0Amaya Cris<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0got a nice win over #7\u00a0Nancy Enriquez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a05,6,6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

————————-
In the Quarters:
– #1\u00a0Paola Longoria<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0took out last year’s 2nd ranked player and #8 seed\u00a0Frederique Lambert<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in three straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #5 Rajsich again came from 2 games down to top #4\u00a0Alexandra Herrera<\/strong><\/a> and remain undefeated against the lefty Mexican in her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #3 Maria Jose Vargas<\/strong> topped her doubles partner #6 Mendez in straight sets, her 4th win over Natalia in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #2\u00a0Samantha Salas<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0cruised past #10 Amaya to make the semis for the 8th time in 9 tries this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So nearly chalk into the semis: 1,2,3,5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

————————-
In the semis:
– #1 Longoria had to come from two games down to top #5 Rajsich. After dropping the first game 4, a battle royale ensued in game two, with Rhonda topping Paola 13-11. From there though, all champion, as she cruised to win the next three games 2,3,1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #2 Salas beat Vargas in three straight advance to her 8th final in 9 events this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————————
In that final, Longoria improved to 49-3 on the pro tour over her doubles partner Salas … but she had to work to do so. A back and forth affair resulted in another 5 game match for Longoria before she came out on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three 5-gamers in this event for Longoria; that doesn’t happen too often. But she comes out with the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————————
One more event for the LPRT; a grand slam in Kansas City in mid June. However, Paola has sewn up the year end title, having an insurmountable points lead at this point over Solis for #1. And Solis has a similarly insurmountable lead for #2. We’ll go through the points ramifications in the preview for the last event for the rest of the top 10 after the Kansas event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Longoria has now officially wrapped up her 10th pro title. Congrats to Paola on this great accomplishment!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
