2016 Campeonato Nacional Mexicano de Racquetbol Selectivo - Thursday

Two upsets of note on day one of the Campeonato Nacional Mexicano de Racquetbol Selectivo tournament in Chihuahua, Mexico. The biggest was by Jaime Martell, who was seeded low at 30th, but knocked off 3rd seed Edson Martinez, 14-15, 15-3, 11-10. You’d think that would give Martell a good path forward, but he’ll play Alejandro Cardona, the #1 player on the World Racquetball Tour (WRT), but only the 14th seed in Chihuahua. In the Round of 64, Cardona beat 19th seed Jordy Alonso, 15-4, 15-12.

Also in the 64s, 26th seed Ramon Yañez upset 7th seed Andree Parrilla, 15-11, 15-10. The win puts Yañez up against 23rd seed Alan Palomino, who was also an upset winner over 10th seed Cesar Barragan, 15-9, 8-15, 11-2.

In Men’s Doubles, the notable result was a win for 18th seeds Rodrigo Montoya and Andree Parrilla over 15th seeds Erick Sandoval and Pedro Gonzalez, 15-8, 14-15, 11-4. That’s notable, because Montoya and Parrilla are seeded lower than we would have thought they should be, so they will play 2nd seeds Daniel De La Rosa and Edson Martinez in the Round of 16, which is a match that we’re sure De La Rosa and Martinez were surely hoping would not happen so early in the tournament.

Only one upset in women’s play in Chihuahua, but it’s not a surprising one, as Alexandra Herrera was seeded 11th, but beat 6th seed Ximena Gonzalez, 15-10, 15-14, to set up a quarterfinal match with Susana Acosta, a winner over Abril Sacristán, 15-3, 15-3.

Women’s Doubles matches begin on Friday in Chihuahua.
