WPRO re-runs rankings: Rajsich remains #1

The Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) rankings have been re-run, as there were some satellite events included in the previous run by mistake. Nonetheless, Rhonda Rajsich has regained the #1 position from Paola Longoria, who is now #2.

However, there are some other changes in the top 10. Kerri Wachtel has gone ahead of Kristen Bellows into the #4 spot, with Bellows now #5. Wachtel's had good showings in both WPRO events this season, finishing runner up in Dallas and semi-finalist in Memphis.

Adrienne Fisher is #6, with Veronica Sotomayor falling to #7. The top 10 rounds out with Angela Grisar at #8, Jo Shattuck in 9th and Jennifer Saunders in 10th.

In the next 10, T.J. Baumbaugh is only 13th, not 11th as we'd reported yesterday. Also former #1 Jackie Paraiso is #16 and another former #1 Christie Van Hees is #35.

Another player who's ranking is better today than yesterday is Janell Tisinger, who reached the quarter finals at the US Open for the first time last month, is now #22 not #25 as previously reported.

All this will jiggle the draw around for this weekend's Rockin' Racquetball at the Coast Pro-Am, the third event of the WPRO season, in Wilmington, North Carolina.
