Singles Match report on www.proracquetballstats.com:<\/a> http:\/\/rball.pro\/D163E1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 16s, a couple of upsets:
-#12 seeded junior Valeria Centellas took out veteran #5 Rhonda Rajsich in a tie-breaker. Centellas won a topsy turvy match where she dropped the middle game 15-2 but held on in the breaker, keeping the pressure on Rhonda with a lot of pace and great getting ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #13 fellow Bolivian junior Micaela Meneses Cuellar<\/a> fared well against #3 Natalia Mendez<\/a>, losing 6,8. Its worth noting that Meneses just finished her age-15 year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #11 Kelani Lawrence<\/a> finally got a pro win over a top 8 touring player, downing #6 seeded Nancy Enriquez<\/a> in a tight 13,14 match. She achieves her first pro quarterfinal appearance with a great showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #7 Amaya Cris held on to down #10 @Maria Maria Renee Rodr\u00edguez 11-8 in the breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Quarters, the top 3 players advanced and we got another big upset.
– #1 Paola Longoria<\/a> handled #8 Jessica Parrilla<\/a> 6,9 to move into the semis.
– #2 Maria Jose Vargas<\/a> took two closer games against #7 Amaya to move on.
– #3 Alexandra Herrera held off upset-minded #11 Lawrence 6,13.
– But the big result of the round was another upset at the hands of the Bolivian junior Centellas. #12 Centellas took out #4 Natalia Mendez Erlwein in two games 5,12 to move on to the semis. This is just her 5th pro tournament and she’s got a match-up with #1 Longoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————
In the Semis and finals, the draw went chalk.
– #1 Longoria showed Centellas what it means to be #1 in the world, advancing 5,8. A great showing for Centellas on the weekend, as she also won the Women’s open RR draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #2 Vargas advanced over #3 Herrera in two, but it almost went tiebreaker 5.14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final Longoria raced to a game 1 win, then held on for the title 6,12 over Vargas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final it was #1 versus #2, but it was as close a final as fans could ask for. Longoria and Herrera, who are now 13-0 together as a pro doubles team, took out the #2 Argentinians Vargas\/Mendez by the razor thin scoreline of 14,14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
