They are into the Round of 16 at the 2019 Paola Longoira Experience in San Luis Potosi, Mexico - the opening event of the 2019-20 Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) season, and two young Mexicans have knocked off top 10 LPRT players. Twelfth seed Montserrat Mejia beat 5th seed Rhonda Rajsich, 15-9, 15-11, and 11th seed Ana Laura Flores defeated 6th seed Natalia Mendez, 15-9, 15-10. In the quarterfinals on Saturday, Mejia will play the winner of Alexandra Herrera and Jessica Parrilla, while Flores will play 3rd seed Maria Jose Vargas, who was a winner over Denisse Maldonado, 15-9, 15-10.
Parrilla has the sole upset of the opening round, as she continues to make her return to the tour after a long term injury. She beat 13th seed Adrienne Haynes, 15-12, 15-1. It wasn’t a good day for Haynes, as she and Sheryl Lotts also lost in the first round of doubles to Montserrat Perez and Erin Rivera, 15-6, 14-15, 11-4.
Play continues into the evening on Friday. The singles quarterfinals will be Saturday morning beginning at 11 AM with the semi-finals Saturday at 5 PM and 6 PM.
