2019 LPRT Turkey Shoot Open - Preview

The 2019 Turkey Shoot Open - the 28th Annual - happens this weekend in Lombard, Illinois, and a field of 28 Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) players will be competing in singles and there are 12 teams in doubles. The top 10 LPRT players - and 18 of the top 20 - are in the field led by LPRT #1 Paola Longoria. She’s the top seed in both singles and doubles with partner Samantha Salas, who is the 3rd seed in singles behind 2nd seed Maria Jose Vargas.

Illinois resident Cheryl Gudinas is in the field playing both singles and doubles with Susana Acosta. Also playing doubles is former US National and World Doubles Champion Aimee Ruiz. She’s playing with Masiel Rivera, a player who has impressed us this season, so we’re really interested to see how they do.

Ruiz and Rivera are seeded 7th, so they play 10th seeded young American team of Holly Scott and Lexi York. The winner will face 2nd seeds Natalia Mendez and Maria Jose Vargas in the quarterfinals.

Look for this weekend’s action live via the LPRT YouTube channel or the LPRT website (click “LPRT Live” at the top of the page). The Round of 16 begins at 3 PM on Friday, with the quarterfinals on Saturday at 11 AM and noon, and the semi-finals at 3:00 and 4:30 PM. The doubles quarterfinals are Friday night at 8 and 9 PM with the semi-finals Saturday night at 8:30 and 9:30 PM. The singles final will be noon Sunday with the doubles final to follow at 1 PM.
