Round of 32 at TeamRoot.com LPRT Super Max Slam

The Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) TeamRoot.com Super Max Slam is underway in Overland Park, Kansas, and already there’s been an 11-10 tie-breaker, as Nancy Enriquez barely held off Micaela Meneses, 15-8, 5-15, 11-10, in the Round of 32. Enriquez will face Natalia Mendez in the Round of 16, as Mendez beat Jessica Chen, 15-5, 15-4. 

LPRT #1 Paola Longoria won her match in the 32s against Lucia Gonzalez, but the  scores were respectable for Gonzalez, as Longoria won 15-10, 15-11. Longoria faces Masiel Rivera in the 16s tonight, as Masiel won a close match with Erin Rivera (no relation), 15-10, 15-13.

A word about the tournament: it’s a “Super Max Slam,” because the total purse is $60,000 with the payouts beginning in the Round of 16. Thus, each match in the Round of 32 was worth a little over a $1000 with the loser taking home nothing.

Other Round of 32 results of note. Hollie Scott won a battle of two young American players, as she defeated Sheryl Lotts, 15-3, 15-9, and will play Samantha Salas in the 16s. Salas beat Shane Diaz, 15-7, 15-2.

Also, Gabriela Martinez defeated Adriana Riveros, 15-7, 15-8, to set up a showdown with US veteran Rhonda Rajsich, who was a winner over Erin Slutzky, 15-11, 15-12.

There will be a replay of the Girl’s U18 final from the 2019 International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in the Round of 16, when Valeria Centellas takes on Angelica Barrios. In the 32s, Centellas beat Annie Roberts, 15-4, 15-4, while Barrios, who won that U18 final, defeated veteran Cristina Amaya, 15-10, 15-7.
