”I’ve a feeling we’re back in Kansas,” is something the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) players could be thinking this weekend, as they gather for the 2021 TeamRoot.com tournament in Overland Park, Kansas that begins on Friday. LPRT #1 Paola Longoria leads a field of 36 players that includes the top 21 LPRT players competing for one of the richest purses in racquetball, due to the generous sponsorship of TeamRoot.com.
The action begins early Friday with four matches at 8 PM in a Round of 64, including an all American match between Erika Manilla and Michelle De La Rosa with the winner to play #2 seed Alexandra Herrera. Longoria will face the winner of Montserrat Perez and Linda Tyler.
Four other notable early matches are Adriana Riveros versus Maria Renee Rodriguez in the 16/17 match, as well as Carla Muñoz versus Masiel Rivera, Gabriela Martinez versus Hollie Scott and another all USA battle between Kelani Lawrence and Sheryl Lotts.
Longoria and Samantha Salas are the top seeds in the doubles draw with Valeria Centellas and Natalia Mendez 2nd seeds. Centellas and Mendez will want to do better in Kansas than they did last month in Greenville, South Carolina, where they lost in the quarterfinals to Kelani Lawrence and Hollie Scott. Lawrence and Scott are seeded 9th this weekend, so there will only be a rematch if both teams make the final.
You can watch the LPRT TeamRoot.com event live via the LPRT YouTube channel or the LPRT website (click “LPRT Live” at the top of the page). The Round of 64 begins at 8 AM Friday, with the Round of 32 kicking off at 9 AM. The quarterfinals will be 10 and 11 AM Saturday. Doubles begins at 7 and 8 PM Friday with the Round of 16 followed by the quarterfinals at noon and 1 PM Saturday. The singles semi-finals are Saturday at 5 and 6 PM and the doubles semis at 7 and 8 PM. The singles final will be 1 PM Sunday with the doubles final to follow at 2 PM. All times central.
