Lets run through the qualifying rounds for the LPRT ahead of the main draw. Hopefully by the time you read this the matches havn’t already started \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s 41 players in this draw, and the LPRT qualifies the top 24 into the main draw, so 17 players are competing for 8 main draw\/round of 32 spots. This means one round of 128 and then a round of 32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a quick run through notable round of 64 matches to look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #32\u00a0Maricruz Ortiz<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0vs #33\u00a0Linda Tyler<\/strong><\/a>; Costa Rican junior international Ortiz makes just her 3rd ever pro appearance and is set to play infrequent pro player Tyler. A good test for Ortiz, who started representing her country in her age-16 season and still has two full years left in 18U.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #27\u00a0Jenny Daza Navia<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0vs #34\u00a0Annie Roberts<\/strong><\/a>; another generational battle; Bolivian Daza has been playing for her country for more than a decade and, in 2018, took out\u00a0Maria Jose Vargas Parada<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in the 32s of the Open. Roberts makes her LPRT debut here; she’s the two-time defending USA junior 16U champ and is playing in her 16U season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #31\u00a0Cheryl Gudinas<\/strong><\/a>, who has won this event twice, faces off against #34 Anna Rivera<\/strong>, who is just finishing up her age-18 year. Fun fact: Rivera was born in Feb 2000; Gudinas won four straight pro titles starting in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #26\u00a0Hollie Rae Scott<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0takes on Colombian veteran international #39 Carolina Gomez<\/strong>. Scott is the reigning intercollegiates champ and lost 11-10 in the US national final in May to\u00a0Kelani Lawrence<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Meanwhile, we havn’t seen Gomez in a pro event since the 2010 US Open, though she’s been a regular fixture in the IRF circuit for Colombia for most of this decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the qualifiers are set, we’ll circle back and review the round of 32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
