WPRO 2007-08 Season Summary

Looking toward this weekend's Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) tournament, which is the first of the season, we thought it'd be good to look back at last season's results.

The WPRO 2007-08 season was composed of 10 Main Events, and 4 Satellite events. We've listed the results for each tournament, and then summarized them by player. (these results are courtesy Brenda Kyzer, WPRO Board member).

The thing that jumps out at us the most is that Rhonda Rajsich got to at least the semis of all 10 WPRO events last season, and she was in eight finals, winning five of them. With that record, it's little wonder she was the number 1 player at season's end.
