WPRO - Latest rankings

The Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) has updated its rankings taking into account the results of the Texas Open last weekend. Paola Longoria remains the #1 women's racquetball player in the world ahead of Rhonda Rajsich, who won in Texas.

There are no changes in the top 10, although some in the next 10. Samantha Salas moved up a spot to #12 helped by her quarter final finish in Dallas. Also, Susy Acosta moved into #20 having reached the Round of 16 in Dallas. Finally, Christie Van Hees moved up a spot to #18.

Rajsich now fourth overall

Rajsich is ranked second, but according to our records her win on the weekend was the 19th in her career, and broke a three way tie for career wins with Jackie Paraiso and Heather McKay, who have 18.

Rajsich's 19 victories now ties her with Shannon Wright for 4th overall. They trail the top three by a large margin. Cheryl Gudinas has 38, Michelle Gould 41 and Lynn Adams the most with 43 victories in her career.*
