We thought the highlight match in the Round of the 32 at the Paola Longoria Invitational on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) would be 11th seed Maria Paz Munoz against 22nd seed Jessica Parrilla, and it did not disappoint, as they played five games with Parrilla coming back from 2-1 down in games to win 6-11, 11-9, 6-11, 11-2, 11-1. She'll now play Maria Jose Vargas, the 6th seed, in the Round of 16 later today.
Three other upsets in the 32s were not actually that surprising, as Aubrey Kirch, former World Junior U18 Champion, defeated Carla Muñoz, 11-5, 11-7, 11-6, and 20th seed Sharon Jackson defeated 13th seed Hailey Miller, 11-4, 11-4, 11-4, and former #4 player Krystal Csuk beat Linda Scales, who's going to be her doubles partner this weekend, 11-7, 2-11, 11-1, 12-10.
In addition to Vargas-Parrillia, the other matches to watch for in the 16s are Frédérique Lambert versus Cheryl Gudinas and Kirch versus 3rd seed Cristina Amaya.
Matches can be viewed via the LPRT Network.
