2015 WRT Modesto Open Round of 16

The first surprise result at the World Racquetball Tour (WRT) Modesto Open in Modesto, California came from 12th seed Mauro Rojas, who defeated 5th seed Anthony Herrera, 9-15, 15-7, 11-7, in the Round of 16.

The win puts Rojas into the quarterfinals on Saturday against Andree Parrilla, who beat Freddy Flores, 15-3, 15-5, in the Round of 16.

A smaller upset occurred in the 8/9 match, as 9th seed Jordy Alonso defeated 8th seed Felipe Muñoz, 15-11, 15-8. In the quarterfinals, Alonso will play top seed Alejandro Cardona, who had to play a tie-breaker to get by Luis Avila, 9-15, 15-8, 11-4.

Also of significance, Jaime Martell beat Jose Diaz, 15-13, 15-9, in the 16s, and will next play David Horn in the quarters, as Horn defeated Ricadro Diaz, 15-8, 15-0. Horn versus Martell will be a good match, as Martell was impressive at the US Open reaching the Round of 16 where he played a good match against Rocky Carson, while Horn is a recent winner on the WRT.

Live streaming will be available from Modesto via the WRT website. That will likely start on Saturday with the quarterfinals at 10 AM PDT.
