2016 LPRT Atlanta Championships - Quarterfinals

Second seed Frédérique Lambert and 5th seed Alexandra Herrera will face of in the final of the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Atlanta Championships in Lilburn, Georgia on Sunday. Lambert was expected to be there, although she didn't have an easy time of it on Saturday, as she had to battle back from 2-1 down to defeated 7th seed Cristina Amaya, 13-11, 9-11, 6-11, 11-2, 11-3, in the quarterfinals, and then went down a game in the semi-final against 3rd seed Jessica Parrilla, but again battled back to win in four games, 7-11, 11-3, 11-7, 11-5.

However, Herrera is a surprise finalist, as this is the first time she has reached an LPRT final. Herrera got there by first upsetting 4th seed Sofia Rascon, 11-6, 11-3, 11-7, in the quarterfinals, and then beating Carla Muñoz, 10-12, 11-9, 11-5, 11-3, in the semi-finals. Muñoz was the big upset winner in the quarters, as she knocked off top seed Rhonda Rajsich, 11-7, 11-9, 11-7.
