Things have gone mostly according to form so far at the Dennis Rosenberg Pro-Am International Racquetball Tour (IRT) event in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The sole exception is Andy Hawthorne's victory over Chris Crowther in the 8-9 game. Hawthorne, the 9th seed, beat the 8th seeded Crowther 11-9, 3-11, 11-5, 11-9.
That puts Hawthorne into the quarter finals against top seed Kane Waselenchuk, who beat Ruben Gonzalez, 11-4, 11-4, 11-0. All the other matches were also won by the higher seeded player, and all in three straight games, which suggests the top players have all got their games in top shape for the end of the season.
