2017 Bolivarian Games - Last day of group stage play

Women’s and Men’s Singles group stage matches are through at the 2017 Bolivarian Games in Santa Marta, Colombia. In Women’s Singles, Colombian Cristina Amaya defeated Carla Muñoz of Chile, 15-12, 7-15, 11–6, but we believe Muñoz will still top Group B, although she, Amaya and Guatemala’s Maria Renee Rodriguez were all 1-1 in the group matches. But Muñoz won 3 games and lost 2, while Amaya was 3 & 3, and Rodriguez 2 & 3, so we think that’s the way they will be ranked.

A dramatic match in Group D of Women’s Singles, as Paola Guerra of Venezuela defeated Alejandra Jimenez of the Dominican, 11-15, 15-11, 11-10. With the win, Guerra will be 3rd in the group, behind Gabriela Martinez of Guatemala in first and Adriana Riveros of Colombia, second.

In Men’s Singles, Conrrado Moscoso of Bolivia and Luis Perez of the Dominican Republic battled for 1st place in Group A with the the Bolivian Moscoso coming out on top, 7-15, 15-4, 11-2. Another Men’s Singles match that went breaker was a surprise, as Colombian Sebastian Franco was pushed to three games by Venezuelan Luis Zea despite Zea coming into the match winless. But Franco was able to pull out the match in three games, 15-10, 10-15, 11-4.

The group stage wraps up Wednesday, and the medal round begins Thursday. The finals will be Saturday in Santa Marta, Colombia.
