Mixed doubles at 2019 Syosset Open

The rare feature of the 2019 Syosset Open is that Pro Mixed Doubles is being played by players on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) and the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT). There are some fun teams, including the #1 seeds Alejandro Landa and Maria Jose Vargas, who are the 3rd ranked players on their respective pro tours.

Landa and Vargas will play their first match tonight in the Round of 16 against 16th seeds Sebastian Franco and Samantha Simmons, who needed a tie-breaker to defeat 17th seeds Maurice Miller and Michèle Morissette, 6-15, 15-13, 11-1, in the Round of 32.

Second seeds Daniel De La Rosa and Samantha Salas will play 15th seeds Natalia Mendez and Alan Natura in the 16s, as Mendez and Natura defeated 18th seeds Felipe Camacho and Maricruz Ortiz, 15-12, 15-10.

The first round of mixed doubles was streamed via the IRT media outlets, so look to them to see more of the matches: The IRT Network, the IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. The Round of 16 will be Friday evening at 7 and 8 PM with the quarterfinals Saturday morning at 10 AM. The semi-finals will be 7 and 8 PM Saturday with the mixed doubles final at 2 PM Sunday. All times Eastern.
