Susana Acosta and Coby Iwaasa won Women's and Men's Open titles, respectively, on the weekend. Acosta won the Women's Open title at the 23rd Annual Christmas Classic in Arlington, Virginia, as she defeated Da'monique Davis in the final, 15-8, 15-4.
In the semi-finals, Acosta beat Adrienne Haynes, 15-13, 15-2, and Davis defeated Jessica Parrilla, 15-10, 14-15, 11-3. It's a good win for Acosta, who's had poor results on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) so far this season.
Iwaasa beat Maurcio Zelada, 15-11, 15-14, to take the Men's Open title at the New Jersey Open in Warren, New Jersey. He defeated Danny Lavely, 12-15, 15-6, 11-4, in one semi-final, while Zelada beat Thomas Carter, 15-12, 12-15, 11-8, in the other.
Also in New Jersey, Jake Bredenbeck went 1 for 2 in doubles finals. He and Sebastian Franco won Men's Open by defeating Jose Daniel Alvarez and Fernando Rios, 15-8, 15-13, in the final, but he and Elizabeth Simmons lost the Mixed Open final to Aimee Ruiz and Charlie Pratt, 15-5, 15-5.
Ruiz also won the Women's Open title by defeating Jean Halahan, 15-5, 12-15, 11-5, in the final.
