PREDICTION: Kane in Two Games
Before last month’s LPRT event, Paola and Maria met 24 times on tour. Longoria won every one of those match-ups. The two met again in the Virginia finals and Maria broke through and defeated Paola 7-15, 15-12, 11-4. Does that one win give Vargas the confidence and momentum to finally win her ground-breaking first career US OPEN? Or does Longoria sharpen her focus to win her 10th US OPEN title?
PREDICTION: Paola in Two Games
If Hollywood was making a movie on how King Kane was dethroned, they couldn’t write a better script. A 23-year-old wins a Grand Slam event in his home country of racquetball-crazed Bolivia, then backs it up by taking out the #2 and #6 ranked players in the World on the sport’s grandest stage in Minneapolis. Add in a leg injury late in the semifinals, and the magical story line awaits! Hold the popcorn... Waselenchuk rolls to his 15th US OPEN title!
