2020 LPRT Boston Open - Round of 32

The Round of 32 at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) 2020 Boston Open in Marlborough, Massachusetts had only one small upset, but there were some big results nonetheless. The upset happened as 18th seed Maria Renee Rodriguez defeated 15th seed Erin Rivera, 15-10, 10-15, 11-8, and will play LPRT #2 Maria Jose Vargas in the Round of 16 later today.

Some of the big results were Brenda Laime defeating Gabriela Martinez, International Racquetball Federation (IRF) Women’s Singles World Champion, 15-13, 15-5. Laime, as the 10th seed, is a good player, and Martinez hasn’t played many LPRT events this season, so perhaps this shoudn’t be that much of a surprise, but, still, to do it in two straight games does raise eyebrows. Laime will play 7th seed Cristina Amaya in the 16s.

Elsewhere, Valeria Centellas, part of the Women’s Doubles IRF World Championship team, came back to defeat Kelani Lawrence, 12-15, 15-8, 11-1. And in another comeback win, Ana Laura Flores beat Hollie Scott, 14-15, 15-10, 11-5. Centellas faces LPRT #3 Samantha Salas in the Round of 16.
