In the round of 16,, results went exactly chalk. All top 8 seeds advanced. There were a couple of notable results though.

In the quarters, the draw went chalk … but not with out some tough matches:
– #1\u00a0Paola Longoria<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0trounced #8 Amaya in 3

– #2 Salas came from 2 games down to win a very close one against #7\u00a0Nancy Enriquez<\/strong><\/a>, 11-9 in the 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The semis and finals went chalk; Longoria over Herrera in 4, Salas over Vargas in 4. In the final Salas took the first game off of Longoria but Paola prevailed, completing an undefeated season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRS Match Report: http:\/\/rball.pro\/5BAB23<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– All four top seeds advanced to the semis … but the #2 seeded Argentinian team of Vargas\/Mendes had to save match point against before advancing against the all-Mexican team of Parrilla & Enriquez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semis, both the top Mexican teams cruised to two game wins to face off in the finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final, the top seeded Longoria\/Salas team dropped game 2, but held on for the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

———————————-
that’s it for the season! A dominant season for Longoria, and for Salas, who have really established themselves as the #1 and #2 players in the world. Once the final rankings post to lprtour.com<\/a>, I’ll scrap them and do all the year end processing and send out a separate post summarizing the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up: we’ll wait for the final points standings to post and then do typical PRS end of season work and will send out a seasonal summary after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

next up on the rball calendar? US Junior Nats, then WOR outdoors, then Mexican Jr Nats, ,then the Pan Am games in august.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
