Young American Hollie Scott got the first big upset at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Sweet Caroline Open in Greenville, South Carolina, as she knocked off 9th seed Cristina Amaya in five games, 11-4, 4-11, 11-0, 7-11, 12-10, in the Round of 32. She’ll play 8th seed Gabriela Martinez in the Round of 16, after Martinez beat 25th seed Robin Whitmire, 11-3, 11-0, 11-5.

There were three other smaller upsets in the 32s. Kelani Bailey Lawrence, the 19th seed, got the better of 14th seed Maria Renee Rodriguez, winning 6-11, 11-5, 11-7, 12-10. She’ll play 3rd seed Alexandra Herrera in the 16s. Also, Masiel Rivera won the 16/17 seed match with a convincing performance against Brenda Laime, 11-1, 11-1, 11-3. Rivera’s reward is a match with LPRT #1 Paola Longoria. Finally, Ana Laura Flores defeated veteran left-hander Susana Acosta, 13-11, 11-9, 10-12, 11-4, so she will play LPRT #2 Samantha Salas in the Round of 16.
