There's also a doubles competition at this weekend's Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) event in Monterrey, Mexico, as the Paola Longoria Invitational features nine doubles teams made up of the elite of the LPRT.
There's only been one upset through the first few matches, as the American team of Da'monique Davis and Sharon Jackson defeated the South American team of Maria Paz Muñoz and Cristina Amaya, 15-12, 15-8.
Next up for Davis and Jackson will be 2nd seeds Rhonda Rajsich and Maria Jose Vargas in what will be a battle of Pan American Championship gold medalists, as Rajsich and Jackson won gold at this Pan Am Championships back in the spring. They'll be on opposite sides on Saturday.
