They’ve only played the Round of 32 at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT’) Grand Slam in Guadalajara, Mexico, but already there have been significant upsets, as both the 8th and 9th seeds have gone out. Nancy Enriquez, the 25th seed, came from two games down to defeat 8th seed Carla Muñoz, 9-11, 8-11, 11-4, 13-11, 11-2, and 24th seed Montserrat Perez took out 9th seed Susana Acosta in four games, 12-13 [sic], 11-9, 13-11, 11-5.
Thus, Enriquez and Perez will face off in the Round of 16 with the winner likely meeting LPRT #1 Paola Longoria in the quarterfinals.
One other match went five games in the 32s, as 13th seed Maria Renee Rodriguez overcame a 2-1 deficit to fend off 20th seed Da’Monique Davis, 9-11, 11-8, 2-11, 11-2, 11-8. Rodriguez will face Alexandra Herrera in the 16s.
You can watch this weekend’s action live via the LPRT LiveStream channel. The Round of 16 begins at 2 PM on Friday, with the quarterfinals on Saturday from 10 AM on and the semi-finals at 5 and 6 PM. The singles final will be 2 PM Sunday with the doubles final to follow.
