2011 Texas Open - Round of 16

Da'monique Davis is through to the quarter finals of the Texas Open, the first event of the 2011-2012 Women's Professional Racquetball Organization (WPRO) season. Davis was an upset winner over Mexican veteran Susana Acosta, winning 11-9, 11-5, 11-9, in the Round of 16.

Joining Davis in the quarters are top seeds Rhonda Rajsich - a winner over Sharon Jackson, 11-4, 11-0, 11-0 - and Samantha Salas, who defeated Maiko Sato, 11-1, 11-4, 6-11, 11-2.

Third seed Kerri Wachtel also won, defeating Sheryl Lotts, 11-4, 11-5, 11-3, and she'll face Jennifer Saunders in the quarters, which is a re-match from last year's Texas Open, when Saunders defeated Wachtel to reach her first WPRO semi-final.

Saunders beat T.J. Baumbaugh in the quarters, 11-7, 11-4, 10-12, 11-6.

In a bit of an upset, 10th seed Angela Grisar beat 7th seed Adrienne Fisher, 11-6, 11-8, 10-12, 10-12, 11-2. Grisar will play Salas in the quarters on Saturday.
