Qualifying is over at the International Racquetball Tour's (IRT's) Coast to Coast California Open in Canoga Park, California, although not all results are in. But there haven't been any upsets so far.
In the final qualifying round, Alex Landa defeated Arthur Schmeiser, 11-2, 11-7, 11-2, and Taylor Knoth also had a three game victory over Andreas Herrera, 11-1, 11-9, 11-5. In the Round of 16, Landa will play top seed Kane Waselenchuk and Knoth will face 2nd seed Rocky Carson.
As expected the last round qualifying matches between Anthony Herrera and Jose Diaz, and Tony Carson versus Kris Odegard were closer, with the opponents splitting their first two games. However, neither required a tie-breaking game five, as Herrera defeated Diaz, 8-11, 11-5, 11-7, 11-8, and Carson beat Odegard, 11-5, 2-11, 11-6, 11-9.
The IRT Network will be web-casting the California Open Round of 16 from 11:30 AM PST on Friday January 6 (free), and then the quarter finals beginning at 5:30 PM PST (subscription required).
