No real surprises - always difficult to say if something is a surprise in qualifying - but there was one five game match in the first round of qualifying at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Pro Kennex Tournament of Champions in Portland, Oregon, as Brian Pineda came back from 1-0 and 2-1 down to defeat young Connor Laffey, 5-11, 11-7, 2-11, 11-5, 11-7. Pineda will play left-hander Robert Collins for the spot in Friday's Round of 16 against Marco Rojas.
The second round was similarly straight forward, and none of the matches went to five games.
The IRT Network will broadcast the event throughout the weekend. The Round of 16 starts at 11 AM PDT Friday. Note that the semi-finals will be Saturday at 11 AM and noon with the final Saturday night at 7:00 PM PDT.
