US Open - Gudinas Holmes defeats Sotomayor - UPDATED

Cheryl Gudinas Holmes moved on to the quarter finals at the US Open by defeating Veronica Sotomayor, 10-12, 11-7, 11-2, 11-4. After winning the first game, it seemed Sotomayor - affectionately nicknamed 'Pipsqueak' by some - would cause a major upset in her rematch with Gudinas Holmes, who won when they played two weeks ago at the Canadian Racquetball Classic.

However, Gudinas Holmes characteristically dug in, gained an early lead in game two at 5-1, and went on to win it 11-7. After that it was all Gudinas Holmes as she won games three and four by comfortable margins.

Gudinas Holmes will next face the winner of Adrienne Fisher, who beat Aubrey O'brien in five games, 13-11, 9-11, 11-2, 3-11, 11-6.
