Erika Manilla (#18)
This event marks Erika Manilla’s highly anticipated return to competition after a 10-month recovery from a serious hip injury suffered during U.S. Team qualifying in February.

In addition to singles, she will also be competing in doubles, and all eyes will be on her comeback performance.

She also made an impressive run to the Round of 16 at the Chicago Open, pushing eventual runner-up Paola Longoria to a tiebreaker. Michelle is playing some of the best racquetball of her career—can she break through to her first singles quarterfinal of the season and defend her doubles crown? Don’t miss her journey this weekend!
