2014 PASO Sports Festival - Doubles Results Round of 16

Day one of the doubles elimination round is almost done at the Pan American Sport Organization (PASO) Sports Festival in Guadalajara, Mexico, and few surprises so far.

The other quarterfinal on the top of the draw will be as expected with Americans Rhonda Rajsich and Devon Pimentelli going up against Colombians Cristina Amaya and Carolina Gomez for a place on the podium and chance to make the final.

Rajsich and Pimentelli defeated Maria Cespedes and Merynanyelly Delgado Araujo of the Dominican Republic, 15-10, 15-10, and Amaya and Gomez beat Maria Paula Posada and Andrea Garcia of Nicaragua, 15-8, 15-0.
