The group stage has come to an end at the Pan American Sport Organization (PASO) Sports Festival racquetball in Guadalajara, and there were some interesting results on Monday.
On the men's side, the most significant result was the upset of the Men's Doubles World Champions - Colombians Sebastian Franco and Alejandro Herrera, who lost to the Costa Rican team of Joaquin Solera and Andrés Aviles Solera, 15-10, 15-7.
In women's action, Ecuador's Maria Paz Muñoz had two big wins Monday, as she defeated Canadian Frédérique Lambert, 15-9, 15-5, in Women's Singles, and then in Women's Doubles beat the American team of Rhonda Rajsich and Devon Pimentelli, 11-15, 15-6, 11-8, with partner Veronica Sotomayor.
Also of note, María José Vargas of Argentina beat American Da'monique Davis, 15-11, 10-15, 11-9. That win should give Vargas the 4th seed in the elimination draw. Muñoz's win should put her 5th.
But only the top two seeds are guaranteed their spots in the elimination draw, as there are two possibilities for the other players and the choice between the possibilities is made after completion of competition within a division is finished. This eliminates any gamesmanship by players who might try to lose a match in order to get a better seeding.
Thus, another significant result on Monday was the win by Vargas and Véronique Guillemette (Argentina) over Alexandra Herrara and Ximena Gonzalez (Mexico), 5-15, 15-13, 11-5, in Women's Doubles, as the Mexicans were the top seed, so the Argentines should become #1 seed for the elimination draw.
We'll have those elimination draws for you as soon as they are available.
