WRT 2015 San Diego Open - Round of 16

Felipe Munoz, seeded 32 going into the World Racquetball Tour (WRT) San Diego Open, has reached the quarterfinals with a win over 17th seed Mario Mercado, 15-7, 15-10, in the Round of 16 Friday.

Another upset happened in the 16s, as 20th seed Jordy Alonso beat 4th seed David Horn, 9-15, 15-14, 11-5. Alonso will play Anthony Herrera in the quarters, as Herrera was a winner over Alexi David Cocco Hayes, 15-0, 15-3.

The bottom of the bracket has gone according to form, but Chris Crowther lost to 6th seed Jaime Martell, 15-10, 3-15, 11-10, in what was Crowther's third match of the day, and it was the third match that went tie-breaker. All that racquetball might have taken its toll on Crowther, one of the tallest pro players around.

Also of note, Sebastian Franco, the 7th seed, is into the quarters without hitting a ball, as his opponents have all defaulted.

In doubles, one small upset in the 8/9 match, as 9th seeds Seung Jun Jeon and Emmett Coe defeated 8th seed Kenny Green Jr. and Chase Robison, 15-11, 15-14. Also, former Women's World Champions Jacqueline Paraiso and Joy Paraiso-Mackenzie lost to 3rd seeds Jaime Martell and Andree Parrilla, 15-9, 15-11.

Look for action to be live streamed via the WRT website.
