The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Round of 32 at the 24th UnitedHealthcare US Open Racquetball Championships has produced some good matches highlighted by Conrrado Moscoso's comeback victory over Andres Acuña, 10-15, 15-6, 11-5. The win puts Moscoso into the Round of 16 against IRT #2 Rocky Carson, who was a winner over Maurice Miller, 15-8, 15-7.
The 7-10 seed bracket got totally busted, as Adam Manilla beat 7th seed Sebastian Franco, 15-4, 15-7, and Sebastian Fernandez knocked off 10th seed Mario Mercado, 15-14, 15-5. Manilla and Fernandez will playoff tonight for a spot in the quarterfinals, which will be a first for either of them, while Franco and Mercado will have to console themselves with doubles, where they are the 3rd seeds.
The 8-9 bracket also busted, as 8th seed Samuel Murray was upset by Pan American Champion Carlos Keller, 10-15, 15-10, 11-8, and 9th seed Rodrigo Montoya lost to his doubles partner, Javier Mar, 11-15, 15-13, 11-9. Keller and Mar will playoff in the 16s tonight. If Mar wins, it will be his 2nd US Open quarterfinal appearance, as he was in the quarters in 2017, while Keller has never got that far.
Thomas Carter was also an upset winner, as he defeated 12th seed Jose Diaz, 14-15, 15-11, 11-9. Carter will play 5th seed Alvaro Beltran in the Round of 16, and Beltran also needed a breaker to advance, as he went three games with Kadim Carrasco, 10-15, 15-10, 11-6.
Finally, Gerardo Franco ended Bradly Rogers's US Open dream for this year, although he needed three games to do it, winning 5-15, 15-2, 11-5. Franco will play IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk in the 16s, as Waselenchuk beat Javier Estrada, 15-4, 15-7.
