No upsets in Round of 32 at 2023 LPRT Frontline Boston Open

There were no upsets in the first round of play at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) 2023 Frontline Boston Open in Marlbrough, Massachusetts Friday morning. Indeed, all the singles matches in the Round of 32 were over in two straight games.

The closest matches were Maria Jose Vargas’s win over Maricruz Ortiz, 15-11, 15-11, and Nancy Enriquez's defeat of Stephanie Synhorst by that same, 15-11, 15-11, scoreline. In the Round of 16 this afternoon, Vargas will play 5th seed Jessica Parrilla while Enriquez takes on 2nd seed Montserrat Mejia.

There was a tie-breaker in the first round of doubles, as 8th seeds Martina Katz and Annie Roberts needed three games to fend off 9th seeds Juliette Parent and Marjolaine Parent, 15-11, 11-15, 11-6. Katz and Roberts will play top seeds Paola Longoria and Samantha Salas in the quarterfinals tonight.
