2015 Galaxy Custom Printing IRT Round of 16

Two upsets in the Round of 16 at the Galaxy Custom Printing International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Pro-Am in Lilburn, Georgia. Mauricio Zelado defeated Charlie Pratt, 4-11, 11-3, 11-5, 11-5, and Matthew Majxner beat Robert Collins in five games, 3-11, 11-9, 7-11, 11-3, 1-15.

Next up for Zelada is 2nd seed Alvaro Beltran, who defeated Filip Vesely, 11-3, 11-8, 11-6, and Majxner will player top seed Rocky Carson, a winner over Jeremy Best in three games, 11-1, 11-0, 11-0.

Mario Mercado came close to causing a big upset, as he took 3rd seed Daniel De La Rosa to five games before falling, 11-1, 10-12, 11-8, 8-11, 11-4. Mercado played well in the match, but game five he never really got on track as De La Rosa took an early lead and looked comfortable as he maintained it throughout that game.

The match winning shot was a nice forehand splat that was flat.

The Round of 16 continues Friday with the quarterfinals to begin at 4 PM EDT. To see the action live, watch it at IRT Network.
