Wednesday doubles results at 29th IRF World Junior Championships

There were only a few doubles matches Wednesday at the 29th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Racquetball Championships in Minneapolis, Minnesota at Lifetime Fitness Target Center, and no surprises. They will battle for medals Thursday on the boy's side, as it's quarterfinals day: win and you get a medal. Lose and you go home without one.

More word on the forfeit loss by the Mexicans Gerardo Franco and Eduardo Portillo in the last round robin round of Boys U18 Doubles. They didn't show up on time for the match. One report is that one of the players didn't have his shorts, and by the time he went back to hotel to fetch them, they were over the 10 min from the time they were called to the court.

Thus, they had to play a match on Wednesday, which they won against Lee Gun Hee and Tae Hwa Jeong of South Korea, 15-3, 15-2. The Mexicans will play 2nd seeds Lukas Le and Mauro Rojas of the USA in the quarters Thursday.

The IRF World Juniors quarterfinals are Thursday in the boys divisions, while the girls continue their doubles round robin competitions Thursday as well. Check out the IRF Facebook page for live streaming of the event.
