Beltran defeats Waselenchuk in quarterfinals of 2019 IRT Florida Pro-Am

Alvaro Beltran defeated Kane Waselenchuk, the #1 player on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT), 15-11, 8-15, 11-8, in the quarterfinals of the 2019 Florida Pro-Am in Sarasota, Florida Friday. It's only the 3rd time Waselenchuk has lost a completed match in a little over a decade, but two of those losses are to Beltran, the first coming back in January 2009. It's a shocking result.

The win put Beltran into the semi-finals against IRT #4 Andree Parrilla, who defeated David Horn in the quarters, 15-2, 15-6. In the other semi-final it will be IRT #2 Rocky Carson up against #3 Alejandro Landa.

In the quarters, Carson beat Daniel De La Rosa, 15-7, 15-3, and Landa defeated Sebastian Franco, 15-12, 15-11.
