2018 Pan American Championships - Doubles Draws

The doubles draws are out for the XXXI Pan American Championships in Temuco, Chile, and there will be some tasty matches right off the hop. Specifically, in the quarterfinals of Women’s Doubles Natalia Mendez and Maria José Vargas of Argentina will play Alexandra Herrera and Paola Longoria of Mexico as what will be the first match of the round for both teams.

Also, the Colombian team of Cristina Amaya and Adriana Riveros will face Maria Paz Muñoz and Ana Lucia Sarmiento of Ecuador in the first round with the winner to take on top seeds Gabriela Martinez and Maria Renee Rodriguez of Guatemala.

In Men’s Doubles, the USA team of Thomas Carter and David Horn are seeded 5th and will take on the Cuban team of Maikel Mollet and Enier Chacon Gomez. The Cubans have been no pushovers this year, so the Americans have their work cut out for them. The winner will face Canadians Nicolas Bousquet and Samuel Murray in the quarterfinals.

Another possible quarterfinal of note will be between Bolivians Roland Keller and Conrrado Moscoso and Costa Ricans Felipe Camacho and Teobaldo Fumero, although Bolivia needs to defeat Set Cubillos and Andres Gomez of Colombia in the first round to set that up.

The top seeds in Men’s Doubles are Alvaro Beltran and Rodrigo Montoya with Juan Francisco Cueva and Jose Daniel Ugalde of Ecuador the 2nd seeds.

Tuesday will be an off day, as the players will prepare for the elimination round, which will begin on Wednesday.
