Beltran, Longoria win San Luis Open

Alvaro Beltran won the San Luis Open - an International Racquetball Tour (IRT) satellite event - in San Luis Potosi, Mexico on the weekend. But he needed a tie-breaker to win it, as Edson Martinez pushed him to five games in the final before Beltran came out on top, 11-7, 7-11, 11-2, 1-11, 11-7.

Martinez also played a five game match in the semi-finals, as he came back from 2-1 down to defeat Andree Parrilla, 10-12, 11-5, 6-11, 11-5, 11-4. In the other semi-final, Beltran beat Jordy Alonso in three straight games, 11-5, 11-1, 11-6.

Also of note, Paola Longoria won Women's Open at the San Luis Open, as she defeated Jessica Parrilla, 15-5, 15-3, in the final. Monserrat Mejia took 3rd place by beating Maritza Franco, 15-11, 15-5.

In the semi-finals, Longoria beat Franco, 15-1, 15-0, while Parrilla defeated Monserrat Mejia, 15-4, 15-5.

The next IRT Tier 1 event is the Coast to Coast California Open in Oakridge, California, January 5-8, 2017. But the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) will be in action at the 25th Annual NES Associates Christmas Classic, December 9-11 in Laurel, Maryland.
