Laime defeats Mendez at 2025 LPRT Mile High Open

The quarterfinal results at the 2025 Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Mile High Open in Denver, Colorado Friday morning were relatively straightforward, as the top three seeds all won in two straight games. But 5th seed Brenda Laime upset 4th seed Natalia Mendez in three games, 15-9, 10-15, 11-6.

Laime will play LPRT #1 Maria José Vargas in the semi-finals Friday afternoon, as Vargas defeated 8th seed Valeria Centellas, 15-9, 15-11. Centellas played well, and was tied with Vargas at 11-11 late in game two, but couldn’t force the match to a tie-breaker.

In the other semi, 2nd seed Montserrat Mejia will take on 3rd seed Gabriela Martinez. Mejia beat 10th seed Sheryl Lotts, 15-6, 15-7, in the quarters, while Martinez defeated 6th seed Alexandra Herrera, 15-7, 15-14.

Play continues Friday afternoon with the singles semi-finals at 4 and 5 PM and the doubles semis Friday evening at 6 and 7 PM. Both finals are on Saturday at 3 PM for singles and 5 PM for doubles. All times Mountain. You can check out the action from Denver via the LPRT YouTube channel.
