Rhonda Rajsich has regained the #1 position in the latest Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) rankings. Rajsich won the first two tournaments of the season, including the US Open - a Grand Slam event.
Paola Longoria, who was #1 is now #2. She was the defending US Open champion, and was runner up this year to Rajsich. Rajsich lost in the quarter finals last year, so she gained a great deal of points for the much better finish this year. Rajsich had been #1 for three seasons before Longoria overtook her in May.
Angela Grisar also moved up one spot to 7th from 8th, changing positions with Adrienne Fisher.
In the next 10, T.J. Baumbaugh has risen to 11th from 14th, and former #1 Jackie Paraiso is back in the top 20 at #17, while another former #1 Christie Van Hees has fallen out of the top 20 and is now 30th.
Janell Tisinger, who was unranked prior to last month's US Open, is now #25, as she got all the way to the quarter finals before losing to Longoria.
The third WPRO event of the season is this weekend's Rockin' Racquetball at the Coast Pro-Am in Wilmington, North Carolina.
