Rocky Carson, the #2 player on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT), remains the favourite to win the 2017 IRT John Pelham Memorial / ProKennex Tournament of Champions in Portland, after defeating Jose Diaz in the quarterfinals, 11-6, 11-8, 11-8. Carson will face Charles Pratt in the semi-finals, as Pratt was an upset winner against 6th seed Jansen Allen, 11-9, 11-3, 11-3.
In the other semi-final, Mario Mercado will face Samuel Murray with each seeking their first career final appearance. Mercado defeated Adam Manilla in three close games, 11-9, 12-10, 11-8, in the quarters. Murray won a marathon match with Tony Carson (no relation to Rocky) after dropping the first two games, so the final scoreline was 10-12, 9-11, 11-5, 11-7, 11-4.
The quarterfinals will be streamed live Saturday beginning at noon via the IRT Network, and the final will follow at 7:00 PM. All times Pacific.
