2016 USA Racquetball Doubles Championships - Day One

Jackie Paraiso, former US Champion and World Champion in Women’s Doubles, was a double winner on Thursday at the USA Racquetball National Doubles Championships in Tempe, Arizona, as she had two upset wins. In singles, Paraiso, seeded 10th, defeated 7th seed Adrienne Haynes, 15-14, 15-12, while in doubles Paraiso teamed up with Da’monique Davis to beat Cheryl Gudinas and Sharon Jackson, 15-5, 8-15, 11-6.

Those were the only two upsets on day one of competition, although there were a couple of other close matches, as 6th seed Sheryl Lotts narrowly defeated 11th seed Janel Tisinger, 15-14, 15-13, and in Men’s Singles David Horn defeated his doubles partner Anthony Herrera, 14-15, 15-5, 11-8.

But Horn and Herrera were successful in doubles, as they defeated Charlie Pratt and Tony Carson, 15-6, 15-14.
