Results still going mostly according to form at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) 2015 Temperature Controls New York City Pro-Am in Syosset, N.Y. However, Marco Rojas, the 9th seed, did upset the 8th seed Charlie Pratt, 11-4, 11-7, 11-9, in the Round of 16.
The win puts Rojas in the quarterfinals against top seed Rocky Carson, who was a straight game winner against Samuel Murray, 11-5, 11-1, 11-2.
Robert Collins almost provided the shock of the tournament, as he went five games with 3rd seed Alvaro Beltran, but the veteran prevailed denying Collins his first quarterfinal berth, 11-1, 11-8, 9-11, 6-11, 11-2.
Beltran tweaked his ankle at 6-6 in game two, and took all of his injury time before continuing. He seemed to be hampered by the injury, but was able to pull out the win against the young left-hander.
Beltran will play Ben Croft in the quarters, as Croft beat Jose Diaz, 11-5, 11-4, 11-2, in the 16s.
Kane Waselenchuk made a successful return to the IRT with a win over Mauricio Zelada, 11-3, 11-3, 11-2. Waselenchuk will play Jansen Allen in the quarters, as Allen beat Danny Lavely, 11-7, 6-11, 11-1, 11-5.
