Boston Open 2024

The seventh edition of the LPRT Boston Open did not disappoint. The top three seeds, Montse Mejia, Maria Jose Vargas, and Paola Longoria, entered the tournament with a chance to go home as world number one. Montse Mejia was largely untroubled on her way to the final, facing some stiff tests but not dropping a game to get there. The matchup circled on most calendars would have been Vargas vs Longoria in the semifinal on the other side of the bracket. While Vargas has been on a hot streak of success over the last several months, Longoria put it all together to take out the number two seed in two straight games. The relatively slow courts appeared to favor Longoria's more controlled and patient game. The final was a tense affair between the current number one in Mejia and the player she had replaced. Like the recent Mexican National Championships, Longoria reasserted her dominance over Mejia, winning in a tiebreaker 11-8. Mejia will rue the many opportunities she had throughout the match to put away shots from which Longoria benefited. Vargas emerged from Boston as the new world number one based on points earned over the past year.

31st Annual Christmas Classic

This very special event was one of the warmest, friendliest events of the season. It was a celebration of the holidays, and of the sport, and it showcased the amazing athleticism of the LPRT athletes, but it was also a coming together of the local racquetball community that included new junior players as well as former pros who came out as fans. The event proceeds went to Frontline Family Foundation (frontlinefamilyfoundation.org), a non profit that grants care and support to veterans, first responders, and their family members to enable them access to the necessary care and treatment they need to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. Maria Jose Vargas Clinched another title after some close battles and tight tiebreakers, playing some of her best racquetball to date. Montse Mejia and Alexandra Herrera also added to their doubles resume by earning winning another close final.

Sports | Colorado’s Erika Manilla is the No. 1 women’s racquetball player in the U.S., but she won’t be satisfied until she’s No. 1 in the world

Manilla, who won two medals at the pan american games last fall, has emerged as a trailblazer in the sport.

No. 1 ranked United States racquetball player Erika Manilla poses for a portrait at the Denver Athletic Club on Thursday, March 7, 2024. (Photo by AAron Ontiveroz/The Denver Post)

Erika Manilla was a gifted racquetball player from a young age, but after graduating from Northern Arizona, she had a decision to make: Pursue a career in biomedical science, or attempt to become a professional athlete in a niche sport with no secure financial future.

She chose the leap of faith, and has been skyrocketing in the sport ever since.

The No. 1-ranked U.S. women’s racquetball player for the past two years, the Regis Jesuit graduate and LoDo resident has emerged as a force on the international scene as well as the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour.

“My brother (Adam Manilla) had gone pro at that point, and he founded a coaching company that could make it work to where we could play full-time,” Erika Manilla said. “That’s when I had to make a decision where I was either going to pursue my career with my degree where I was financially stable and had a guaranteed direction, or move back home, live at poverty level, help build a coaching company and give my dream a shot.”

Manilla’s gamble paid off.

Her and her brother’s company, Manilla Athletics, has taken off. It’s an online coaching company not unlike Peloton, but for racquetball. It’s allowed the Manillas to be full-time athletes without having to worry about a typical 9-to-5 job, as the vast majority of pro American players do, especially on the women’s side.

With their company thriving, Erika has continued her ascent on the court that began at the age of six. It started with 22 junior nationals titles. Then a spot on Team USA, with six titles there. And last fall, Erika and Adam won the gold medal in mixed doubles at the Pan American Games in Chile, where Erika also took home a bronze in doubles.

The siblings won’t be satisfied until they’re both No. 1 in the world. Erika, 26, is currently No. 7 on the LPRT, having risen as high as No. 3 last year, while Adam, 28, is No. 7 on the International Racquetball Tour.

“Both of us have never done this to be top three, or just near the top,” said Adam, also a Regis Jesuit alum who now lives in San Jose. “Erika’s special in a way where throughout our careers, she’s been the one who’s reached the better achievements. She’s definitely more of a stud on the court. I have true ambitions to be No. 1, but the way she works, her mentality, her game, she has the complete makeup to do it.

“Our goal is to be No. 1 at one time, and it’d be even cooler if we were both No. 1 at the same time.”

At 5-foot-9, Erika is unusually tall for a female racquetball player. Her height gives her power: She is the hardest female hitter in the world, with her ballspeed clocked as high as 132 miles per hour last summer. And she’s a passionate player, unafraid to yell and pump her fist after a clutch shot.

Those attributes, in addition to her overall athleticism, give Manilla an edge in a sport dominated by Latin American players. In countries like Argentina, Bolivia and Mexico, racquetball is exceedingly popular and ranks among those nations’ favorite sports behind soccer. In those countries, it isn’t uncommon for top players to receive government funding via salaries, paid travel and facilities, as well as premier sponsorships.

In the U.S., the sponsorship opportunities for American players are limited. Athletes largely have to fend for themselves to make their pro careers work. All of that makes Erika’s feats all the more impressive.

“She’s an incredible role model to all the up-and-coming juniors, and they gravitate to her, the boys and the girls,” explained Erika’s doubles partner, Michelle Key. “But the girls really idolize her. And other women on tour really respect her, because the fact she can make this a bonafide, standalone career is huge.

“She and her brother are very business-savvy and they put in a lot of hard work with their business and behind the scenes that people don’t see. … She’s one of the best at supporting people in racquetball, and being a genuine person who wants people of all skill levels to learn and grow in this sport.”

The popularity of racquetball, once America’s fastest-growing sport in the 1970s, has taken a dive . Court access is a primary issue. Many of the small businesses that had courts were bankrupted by the pandemic, and the larger gym chains that have traditionally had courts made a habit of converting them for other uses.

So there is an access barrier, and a financial one as well, as there are usually membership requirements to use courts at the facilities that still have them such as Erika’s home gym, the Denver Athletic Club.

But amid the explosive growth of pickleball, the Manillas are at the forefront of the attempts to revive racquetball’s participation numbers, especially on the junior scene where the siblings first emerged as stars.

“Hands down, they’re doing the most for the sport out of anybody in the world,” Key said.

They built their own junior programs through Manilla Athletics, and after succeeding in the private sphere, received a grant from USA Racquetball to help others construct junior programs nationwide. They are also putting on a junior camp at the Olympic Training Center in April, and are contracted to run the junior nationals championship tournament in California in June.

“One of our main goals is to bring back the experience we had as juniors to the new kiddos and the next generation, along with regrowing our sport,” Erika Manilla said. “In our sport, we believe you can’t just be a pro athlete. We have to build the sport at the same time as competing, and we still believe and prove every day that racquetball will have another rise.”

In the meantime, Manilla is recovering from right hip surgery she underwent this week to repair a torn labrum. That will put her out for about six months, causing her ranking to dip.

But she believes she’ll come back better than ever and ready to make a run at an LPRT title as well as a gold medal in singles at the 2027 Pan American Games in Peru. She already has a victory over the sport’s most dominant player, Mexico’s Paola Longoria, on her resume.

According to Jo Shattuck , a former pro who coached Erika as a kid, Erika’s first two years as a pro are merely a preview.

“Competitively, she’s already there among the best in the world,” Shattuck said. “Paola is the most decorated female racquetball player in history, and Erika’s beaten her. But Erika’s been on the tour for just two years, and Paola has been on tour for (nearly two decades).

“There’s a new generation of players coming through, and Erika is right there with them, and she has a high potential for growth. I predict she’ll be among the top four players in the world within the next couple years, and one or two of them is going to be above the rest, and it’s mostly mental at this point. But there’s nothing that can stop her from being No. 1.”

Nothing Fazing Nelly Korda at The Chevron Championship

Henderson makes big move, thitikul leads before play suspended on saturday.

  • Nelly Korda
  • chevron-championship
  • Tournament News

ladies racquetball tour

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Nothing fazes Nelly Korda. Not four straight LPGA Tour victories. Not constant media attention. Not major-championship pressure. Not the public’s expectations.

Not even a double bogey on her first hole of the second round at The Chevron Championship can rattle Korda’s nerves, which is exactly what happened on Friday in The Woodlands, Texas.

It took her two shots to get out of the left fairway bunker on No. 1 after a wayward tee shot, a tough start that would’ve given any other player a bit of pause at a major championship. But Korda put her head down and charged forward despite the early setback, erasing one of those two dropped shots with a birdie on the par-4 2nd hole.

“Sometimes, when you start to make mistakes, you don't really feel confident, or you don't feel that great,” said Korda. “But I just told myself that it's the first hole of the tournament today. There is still so much golf to be played, and there are still a good bit of gettable par 5s. That's usually what I think about, the opportunities that I have ahead.”

She made another birdie on the par-5 4th hole to get back to even par on the round, tripping up again with a bogey on the par-3 7th hole to drop back to 3-under for the tournament. But the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 1 then picked up a pair of back-to-back birdies on holes eight and nine to get the train back on track, turning in 35 and sitting at 5-under total with nine holes to play.

The back nine was much quieter for the 25-year-old, as Korda made seven pars and two birdies on the par-5 13th and par-5 18th holes en route to posting a 3-under 69, a round that kept her near the top of the leaderboard at 7-under overall. It was an effort with which Korda was pleased despite her slow start, and she was proud that she stayed the course and didn’t deviate from the blueprint she had drawn up when things looked like they might go south.

“I think in a major championship you have to play well,” Korda said when asked how her 3-under effort stacked up to some of the other rounds she has played recently. “Sometimes – like on No. 10 today, that was not a pin that you can attack. That's a major championship par where you hit it into the middle of the green, and you two-putt for par. A lot of positioning definitely with the firmness of these greens and playing smart. Proud of myself for sticking to the game plan.”

Thirty-six holes stand between Korda and a fifth straight LPGA Tour victory, a ton of golf left to play in major championship standards. But the 12-time Tour winner knows that trophies aren’t hoisted on Fridays and is doing her best to block out the noise that has surrounded her since that Sunday in Las Vegas when she earned win number four at the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards.

It’s hard, particularly when all eyes are on you as the world’s best player, but Korda seems to have figured out how to do it, something that’s greatly benefited her this week at The Chevron Championship.

“I'm just at the halfway point right now,” Korda said. “The amount of golf that I've played, I still have that to go. There is still a lot of golf left, and anything can happen. Just going to stick to my process and vibe with it is what my coach says.”

And with that in mind, how will Korda prepare for another two rounds of difficult golf at The Club at Carlton Woods as she works to track down her second career major title over the weekend?

Family, coffee and relaxation are on her docket, well-earned after a hard-fought 69 on day two in The Woodlands, Texas.

Largest Crowd in Women's Hockey History Watches PWHL Game at Montreal's Bell Centre

  • Author: Patrick Andres

Even in an era of sustained growth for women's sports around the world, 2024 has stood out.

The NCAA women's tournament rode a compelling cast of characters—led by Iowa guard Caitlin Clark—into the monoculture, and its championship outdrew the men's national title game . The NWSL is in year one of a monster new TV contract.

Because of this, the success of the Professional Women's Hockey League has flown under the radar a bit. But what encouraging success it has been.

On Saturday, 21,105 fans came out to watch Montreal lose 3–2 in overtime to Toronto at the Bell Centre in Montreal. That is the largest crowd ever to see a women's hockey game, breaking a record set Feb. 16... when the two teams played in Toronto.

Toronto forward and Wisconsin product Sarah Nurse, a 2022 Olympic gold medalist for Canada, scored two goals—including the winner 13 seconds into overtime.

Founded in 2023, the PWHL is a six-team circuit with squads in Boston, Minnesota, Montreal, New York, Ottawa and Toronto.
