The Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) doubles final at the 2015 United Healthcare US Open in Minneapolis will be an all Mexico affair, as #1 seeds Paola Longria and Samantha Salas defeated 4th seeds Susana Acosta and Jessica Parrilla, 15-5, 9-15, 11-5, in one semi-final and the young team of Alexandra Herrera and Monserrat Mejia knocked off 3rd seeds Michelle Key and Frédérique Lambert in the other semi-final, 13-15, 15-9, 11-7.
How young are Herrera and Meija? They're teenagers. Herrera, a left-hander, was a double gold medalist in Girl's U18 at last year's World Junior Championships, winning in singles and doubles, while Mejia won gold in Girl's U14 doubles.
They've beaten the #2 and #3 seeds to get to the final, but Saturday they'll be up against the three time reigning World Champions. The test doesn't get any tougher.
The final will be 4 PM CDT Saturday.
