30th Annual LPRT Christmas Classic - Preview

The Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) is in Millersville, Maryland for the 30th Annual Christmas Classic. There are 22 players in the field led by LPRT #1 Paola Longoria, who is in the unusual position of not coming off a win in either singles or doubles at the last LPRT event in Illinois. In Illinois, Montserrat Mejia won singles, and Alexandra Herrera and Samantha Salas won doubles.

All of those players are in Maryland, and will be looking to repeat those successes.

Standing in Longoria’s way of a Christmas gift could be two players who have beaten her before, and that’s before she gets to the semi-finals. Gabriela Martinez is seeded 17th, but has beaten Longoria in international play. They could meet in the Round of 16.

If Longoria survives that, she could face Brenda Laime in the quarterfinals, and Laime, the 8th seed, defeated Longoria earlier this season. Laime will need to defeat 9th seed Kelani Lawrence for that to happen, which won’t be an easy feat.

With Martinez in Maryland, she’ll be playing doubles with long time partner Maria Renee Rodriguez. They are seeded 4th, and will first face 5th seeds Lawrence and Hollie Scott.

Interestingly, Longoria is not seeded #1 or 2 in doubles with Mejia. Rather they are the 3rd seeds with Herrera and Salas top seeds and the US Open Champions Erika Manilla and Natalia Mendez seeded 2nd.

You can watch the action from Maryland live via the LPRT YouTube channel. Singles play begins Friday morning with the Round of 32, followed by the first round of doubles at noon. The singles Round of 16 begins at 3 PM on Friday afternoon with the quarterfinals of doubles going off at 7 and 8 PM Friday evening. The singles final will be noon Sunday with the doubles final to go at 1 PM Sunday. All times EST.

Quarterfinal day at the 2022 IRF World Junior Championships

Thursday was quarterfinal day at the 33rd International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala, which was an opportunity to get on the podium: i.e., reach the semi-finals. Let’s high-light some players who will be on the podium in Guatemala.

As expected, Bolivian Angelica Barrios has made the podium in Girls U21, but she needed a tie-breaker to do so, as Argentina’s Martina Katz fought back from 0-2 down to force game 5 only to fall a little bit short with the final score: 11-5, 11-3, 11-13, 9-11, 11-4. Barrios will face Costa Rican Maricruz Ortiz in the semi-finals, as Ortiz was a straight game winner over American Annie Roberts, 11-8, 11-6, 11-7.

Mexican Erick Trujillo’s win over Bolivian Hector Barrios, 11-2, 11-8, 8-11, 11-6, is an upset by the seedings, as Trujillo is the 7th seed and Barrios 2nd. But Trujillo was the U18 World Junior Champion last year, so he’s proven himself on this stage. In the semi-finals, Trujillo will play Ecuador’s Josue Bermeo, who defeated his countryman Pablo Vera, 11-7, 11-6, 3-11, 11-7.

The highest seed to win in the quarters on Thursday was American Ava Kaiser, who as the 12th seed in Girls U16 upset 4th seed Natalia Mendez of Bolivia, 11-6, 7-11, 11-7, 4-11, 11-3. She’ll take on the top seed Mexican Yanna Salazar in the semi-finals on Friday, as Salazar defeated 8th seed Anna Paul Augilar Salvatierra of Guatemala, 8-11, 11-9, 11-3, 12-10.

There’s a possibility of an all USA final in Girls U16, as on the other side of the draw, Kaiser’s team-mate Naomi Ros defeated Mexican Cynthia Gutierrez, 11-8, 11-3, 11-7, 11-7, in what was also an upset, as Ros was seeded 6th and Gutierrez 3rd. Ros will play 2nd seed Krystin Salinas Vasquez of Bolivia in the semis, as Vasquez beat 10th seed Ofelia Wilscam of Canada, 11-5, 11-4, 11-3.

Medalists

As the semi-finalists (or finalists) have all been determined, let’s count them up by country for the three World Cup divisions: U16, U18 and U21.

Country - Boys Singles - Girls Singles - Sum

Mexico - 5 - 4 - 9
Bolivia - 3 - 3 - 6
USA - 0 - 3 - 3
Chile - 1 - 1 - 2
Argentina - 1 - 0 - 1
Costa Rica - 0 - 1 - 1
Ecuador - 1 - 0 - 1
Guatemala - 1 - 0 - 1

Country - Boys Doubles - Girls Doubles - Mixed - Sum

Mexico - 3 - 3 - 3 - 9*
Bolivia - 3 - 2 - 3 - 8
USA - 1 - 3 - 1 - 5
Costa Rica - 1 - 3 - 0 - 4
Guatemala - 1 - 1 - 2 - 4
Argentina - 1 - 0 - 1 - 2
Canada - 1 - 0 - 1 - 2
Chile - 1 - 0 - 0 - 1
Ecuador - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1

Note: 9 is the maximum possible number of medalists here, as there are 3 age divisions for three different doubles teams: Boys, Girls and Mixed. The maximum possible in singles is 12: both singles players making the semi-finals in both boys and girls competitions across all three age categories (2 x 2 x 3 = 12).

This is evidence that Mexico and Bolivia are the leading racquetball countries. Other countries have some strengths, e.g., the US and Costa Rican girls are strong (6.5 of the 8 US medalists are girls (0.5 for the mixed division) & all the Costa Rican medalists will be girls), but besides them there’s not a lot of medalists outside of Mexico and Bolivia.

Day 2 of medal round at 2022 IRF World Junior Championships

The medal round continued Wednesday at the 33rd International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Let’s high-light some results.

There were a couple of upsets in the Girls U21 Round of 16. American Annie Roberts had the biggest one as the 11th seed beat the 6th seed Ana Lucia Sarmiento of Ecuador, 11-5, 11-3, 11-6. Roberts will face 3rd seed Maricruz Ortiz of Costa Rica in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

Also, in the 8/9 match, 9th seed Sofia Freer of Costa Rica came back from a game down to defeat the 8th seed Juliette Parent of Canada, 4-11, 12-10, 12-10, 11-7, and book a match with American Shane Diaz in the quarters.

One of the other quarterfinal matches will be a Mexican showdown as 4th Valeria Hernandez plays 5th seed Mafer Gutierrez. Hernandez defeated Bolivian Vielka Loza Mercado, 11-5, 11-2, 9-11, 11-8, in the 16s, while Gutierrez beat Fabiana Landy of Ecuador, 11-6, 11-8, 11-4.

Finally, 7th seed Martina Katz of Argentina looked good in beating 10th seeded Cuban Suniaris Rodriguez, 11-3, 11-4, 11-3, and she’ll need to be just as good when she takes on 2nd seed and current Pan American Champion Angelica Barrios of Bolivia in the quarterfinals on Thursday.
