Round of 16 - 2017 WRT Casino Racquetball Open

No upsets in the first round of the World Racquetball Tour (WRT) Casino Racquetball Open in Mexicali, Mexico. In fact, only one match even went to a tie-breaker. But surprisingly it was Alejandro Landa who needed three games to get past 26th seed German Gracia Dominguez, 15-11, 13-15, 11-0. Surprising, because Landa has won several WRT events, and was a semi-finalist at last week’s US Open, so not who we would have picked to be needing a breaker to win his first round match.

Watch the action live from Mexicali via WRT website starting with the quarterfinals Friday at 5 PM. The semi-finals will begin at 11 AM Saturday with the final at 5 PM Saturday. All times Pacific.
