The Round of 32 is over at the World Racquetball Tour (WRT) Alamo City Open in San Antonio, Texas, and there’s been no real surprises, although there were a couple of tie-breakers and the lower seeded player won both.
In one, 18th seed Cesar Delgado came back from a game down to beat 15th seed Erik Mendoza by the narrowest of margins, 5-15, 15-12, 11-10. In the other, 21st seed Ross Smith Jr defeated 12th seed Arturo Burruel, 15-11, 10-15, 11-7.
Delgado’s win puts him into the Round of 16 against WRT #2 Jaime Martell, while Smith will play 4th seed Rodrigo Montoya.
As anticipated, WRT #3 Andre Parrilla will face Felipe Camacho in the 16s, as Camacho beat A. J. Fernandez, 15-8, 15-5, in the Round of 32.
The Round of 16 begins later Friday afternoon with the quarterfinals starting Saturday morning at 10:30 AM with the semi-finals Saturday evening at 6:05 and 7:10 PM. The final is set for Sunday at 12:30 PM. You can watch the action live on Saturday and Sunday via the WRT website.
