Doubles Round of 16 at 2019 Pan American Championships

They will play two rounds of both Men's and Women's Doubles Thursday at the 2019 Pan American Championships in Barranquilla, Colombia, and in men’s play the Argentina veterans Fernando Kurzbard and Shai Manzuri, seeded 11th, upset the 6th seeded Dominican Republic team of Ramon De Leon and Luis Perez, 12-15, 15-8, 11-5. Argentina will play the 3rd seeded Costa Ricans Andres Acuña and Felipe Camacho in the quarterfinals, as Costa Rica beat Jesus Icaza and Carlos Medrano of Honduras, 15-4, 15-2.

Costa Rica versus Argentina should be a good match, as should other quarterfinal matches between 4th seeds Roland Keller and Conrrado Moscoso of Bolivia and Colombians Andres Gomez and Mario Mercado, and the 2nd seeded USA team of Jake Bredenbeck and Mauro Rojas versus Canadians Coby Iwaasa and Samuel Murray.

In Women’s Doubles, the top seeds Paola Longoria and Samantha Salas of Mexico versus 8th seeds Natalia Mendez and Maria Jose Vargas of Argentina should also be a cracking match.

The IRF will be live streaming matches from Barranquilla, look for the action via the IRF Website or the IRF Facebook page or the IRF YouTube channel.
