2016 Campeonato Nacional Mexicano de Racquetbol Selectivo

Another major upset at the Campeonato Nacional Mexicano de Racquetbol Selectivo tournament in Chihuahua, Mexico, as 5th seed Javier Mar defeated #1 seed Alvaro Beltran in the semi-finals, 2-15, 15-8, 11-5, to advance to Sunday’s final against Daniel De La Rosa, who was a winner over Alejandro Landa, 15-6, 9-15, 11-7, in the other semi-final of Men’s Singles.

Then in Men’s Doubles, 18th seeds Rodrigo Montoya and Andree Parrilla continued to cause trouble for higher seeds, as they beat 3rd seeds Eduardo Garay and Mar in the semi-finals, 15-12, 11-15, 11-10, to reach the final, where they will play Beltran and Javier Moreno, who were winners against Landa and Alejandro Cardona, 12-15, 15-6, 11-6.

Nothing so surprising has happened in women’s play, as top seed Paola Longoria will face her doubles partner Samantha Salas in the Women’s Singles final, and they are also in the Women’s Doubles final.

In singles, Longoria beat Jessica Parrilla, 15-4, 15-6, in the semi-final, and Salas defeated Susana Acosta, 15-3, 15-8. In doubles, Longoria and Salas advanced to the final with a win over 4th seeds Jessica Parrilla and Monserrat Mejia, 15-8, 15-4. They will play 3rd seeds Susana Acosta and Jessica Maldonado in the final, as Acosta and Maldonado defeated 7th seeds Sofia Rascon and Lucia Gonzalez, 7-15, 15-12, 11-5, in the semi-finals.
