Janel Tisinger (born March 13, 1983) is an American racquetball player. She is the current World Champion in Women’s Doubles, winning the title in 2016 with Aimee Ruiz.
Tisinger has competed for the USA four times. Her first appearance on Team USA was in 2007, when she played Women’s Doubles with Rhonda Rajsich at the Pan American Championships in Santiago, Chile, where they won gold.
She didn’t play on the team again until 2014, when Tisinger played Women’s Singles and Doubles at the Pan American Championships in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. There she lost to Susana Acosta of Mexico in the Round of Singles of Women’s Singles, 13-15, 15-7, 11-4. In doubles, Tisinger was again paired with Rajsich, but they lost in the quarterfinals to Veronica Sotomayor and Maria Paz Muñoz of Ecuador, 15-8, 7-15, 11-6.
Her next two international appearances were in Women’s Doubles with Aimee Ruiz at the 2014 and 2016 World Championships. In 2014, they lost in the final to Mexicans Paola Longoria and Samantha Salas, 15-4, 15-12. But in a rematch of that final, in 2016 Tisinger and Ruiz came out on top, beating the Mexicans, 15-11, 9-15, 11-8.
Tisinger has won three USA National Championships in Women’s Doubles, all with Aimee Ruiz as her partner. They first won in 2013, when they defeated sisters Danielle and Michelle Key in the final, 15-6, 15-8. They followed that up in 2014 by defeating Rhonda Rajsich and Kim Russell-Waselenchuk, 15-9, 15-10, in the final. Tisinger and Ruiz won for a third time in 2016, when they narrowly defeated Rajsich and Sheryl Lotts in the final, 15-12, 12-15, 11-10, which qualified them to appear at the 2016 World Championships.
