There were no upsets in the Team USA Qualifying divisions Thursday at the 2010 USA Racquetball (USAR) National Singles Championships in Houston, Texas, although there was plenty of drama. But that was all on the women's side, as the higher seeded men all won in two straight games.
But four of the women's Round of 16 matches went tie-breaker and two were 11-10. Janel Tisinger and Keely Franks came out on top of those 11-10 matches, and both winners dropped the first game of those matches. Tisinger beat Sharon Jackson, 8-15, 15-14, 11-10, and Keely Franks came back against Aubrey O'brien, winning 12-15, 15-12, 11-10.
The quarter finals will be played Friday with the semi-finals on Saturday and finals on Sunday. You can watch the finals live over the internet via Racquetball Online.tv.
