Da'monique Davis is through to the quarter finals of the Texas Open, the first event of the 2011-2012 Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) season. Davis was an upset winner over Mexican veteran Susana Acosta, winning 11-9, 11-5, 11-9, in the Round of 16.

Third seed Kerri Wachtel also won, defeating Sheryl Lotts, 11-4, 11-5, 11-3, and she'll face Jennifer Saunders in the quarters, which is a re-match from last year's Texas Open, when Saunders defeated Wachtel to reach her first WPRO semi-final.
