2017 UnitedHealthCare US Open - LPRT Draws

The Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) draw is out for the 2017 UnitedHealthcare US Open in Minneapolis. Thus, we now know where former #2 Maria Vargas will be. She’s been inactive for the past year, so Vargas has to play a qualifying match to get into the Round of 32. That match will be against Brenda Laime with the winner to play 5th seed Rhonda Rajsich in the 32s. It will be interesting to see how Vargas fares in Minneapolis.

Also of interest will be how Janel Tisinger and Aimee Ruiz - the current World Champion Women’s Doubles team - fare, as they also have to qualify to get into the main draw. They’ll play the young team of Erika Manilla and Melania Sauma early on Wednesday with the winner to play Carla Muñoz and Michelle De La Rosa for a spot in the quarterfinals. If they get to the quarters, they’ll play top seeds Jessica Parrilla and Frédérique Lambert.

The 2017 UnitedHealthcare US Open begins Wednesday October 4 and finishes Sunday October 8 at the Life Time Athletic Target Center club in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.
