Congrats to Alexandra Herrera and Monserrat Mejia on their win at the 2019 US Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lets review the Q\/SF after the last post ran through the 32s and 16s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRS match report: http:\/\/rball.pro\/835FD7<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

——-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarters wrap-up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #1 Paola Longoria<\/a> \/ Samantha Salas Solis<\/a> dominated the #8 team of Michelle De La Rosa<\/a> and Kelani Lawrence<\/a> to move into the semis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #4 seeded Masiel Rivera Oporto<\/a> and Brenda Laime Jalil<\/a> outlasted the #12 seeded Lexi York<\/a> and Hollie Rae Scott<\/a> combo to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #3 Montse Mejia<\/a> and Alexandra Herrera<\/a>, the sometimes Mexican national team representatives, were pushed to the limit by the strong #6 Guatemalan national team of Ana Gabriela Mart\u00ednez<\/a> and Maria Renee Rodr\u00edguez<\/a> before advancing 11-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #7 Jessica Parrilla<\/a> \/ Nancy Enriquez<\/a> surprised the #2 seeded Argentinian national team of Maria Jose Vargas<\/a> and Natalia Mendez Erlwein<\/a>, dropping the first before running away with the match 15-6, 11-1 to finish it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still on track for the all-Mexican final, which we’ve seen multiple times on tour, including last year’s 2018 US Open final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

———–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– the #1 team blitzed Rivera\/Laime 6,4 to move to the final.
– the #3 team destroyed the upset-minded #7 team Parrilla\/Enriquez to move to the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

————<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the finals, we got the match-up most had predicted. Longoria\/Salas versus Mejia\/Herrera is a rematch of multiple finals throughout the last couple of seasons. These two pairings met in the finals of the 2016 US Open, multiple pro finals in the 2017-18 season, the 2018 Mexican Worlds selection event, 2018 World Doubles, the 2018 US Open, 2019 Mexican Nationals, and at the SLP pro stop earlier this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did not disappoint. The younger Mexican pairing won two closely contested games to vanquish the top-ranked veteran pairing to capture their first US Open title 13,12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
