The top eight International Racquetball Tour (IRT) seeds have advanced to the quarterfinals at the 2015 United Healthcare US Open Racquetball Championships in Minneapolis with one exception, as 6th seed Ben Croft forfeited his Round of 16 match to Anthony Herrera.
Croft had shoulder surgery a few months ago, and is trying to work his way into game shape. In his Round of 32 match against Majeed Shahin, Croft was clearly hurting at times, and took an injury timeout in game two. He's also entered in pro doubles as he and Kane Waselenchuk are the defending US Open champions in that division.
That's a title Croft wants to successfully defend.
There were no tie-breakers in the 16s, as the higher seeds all won in three or four games, including Waselenchuk's win over Chris Crowther, 11-2, 11-3, 11-4.
Play will streamed live via the IRT Network.
