WRT - 2017 Rocky Mountain Open - Quarterfinals

Sebastian Franco continued his run through the field at the World Racquetball Tour (WRT) 2017 Rocky Mountain Open in Taylorsville, Utah with a quarterfinal win over 5th seed Jaime Martell, 15-6, 15-7. But veteran Sudsy Monchik’s run ended in the quarters, as he fell to 3rd seed Jake Bredenbeck, 15-5, 15-12.

Franco will play either top seed David Horn - a quarterfinal winner over 8th seed Felipe Camacho, 15-7, 15-8 - in one semi on Saturday, and Bredenbeck will face Alejandro Cardona in the other semi, as Cardona beat Erik Garcia in a tie-breaker, 15-1, 7-15, 11-6.

Monchik is still alive in the doubles competition, though. He and Sebastian Franco won their semi-final match against Justus Benson and Erik Garcia, 15-8, 15-5. They’ll play Cardona and Gerardo Franco in the final, as Cardona and Franco beat Felipe Camacho and Robert Collins in the other semi, 15-13, 15-2.

The semi-finals are Saturday at 11 AM and noon, and the final Saturday at 5 PM. You should be able to watch the action live Friday and Saturday via the WRT website.
