The top seeds are through to the semi-finals at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Torneo Milenio in Tijuana, Mexico. LPRT #1 Paola Longoria needed to come from behind to win her quarterfinal match against Adriana Riveros, as Riveros took game one. However, Longoria didn’t trail from there going on to win in four games, 3-11, 11-3, 11-8, 11-1.
Riveros was full measure for the win in game one, as she shot well and served well. But Longoria took her play up a level in game two, and never trailed after the first game. Riveros did come back in game three from 8-3 down to tie it at 8-8, and there was a glimmer of hope for the 9th seed. But Longoria quickly extinguished that by winning the next three points to take the game and went on to win the match.
In the semi-finals, Longoria will play 4th seed Rhonda Rajsich, who needed five games to defeat 5th seed Cristina Amaya in the quarters, 9-11, 11-1, 8-11, 11-5, 11-9. In the other semi, it’ll be 2nd seed Jessica Parrilla against 3rd seed Alexandra Herrera, as Parrilla beat Natalia Mendez, 11-6, 11-7, 11-4, and Herrera defeated 11th seed Nancy Enriquez, 14-12, 11-5, 11-5, in their respective quarterfinal matches.
You can watch the semi-finals live via the LPRT LiveStream channel or the LPRT YouTube channel. The singles semis are at 4 and 5 PM with the doubles semis at 6 and 7 PM. The singles final will be noon Sunday with the doubles final to follow.
