Thursday results from the 2020 IRT Lewis Drug Pro-Am

The first day of competition is done at the 42nd Lewis Drug Pro-AM International Racquetball Tour (IRT) event in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and there weren’t any big surprises, but some good matches were played. A couple of great matches happened in doubles, as 10th seeds Jansen Allen and Tony Carson upset 7th seeds Jake Bredenbeck and Sam Bredenbeck, 15-12, 11-15, 11-9, with Carson - who is battling an illness that led him to forfeit his singles match - won it with a backhand pinch shot that could not have rolled out of the front right corner any better. They’ll play 2nd seeds Alejandro Landa and Samuel Murray in the quarterfinals on Friday.

Also winning in a tie-breaker were 6th seeds Andres Acuña and Felipe Camacho, who beat 11th seeds Javier Estrada and Alan Natera, 15-10, 6-15, 11-8, so they will play 3rd seeds Javier Mar and Rodrigo Montoya in the quarters.

Look for the Lewis Drug action via the usual IRT media outlets: The IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. The Round of 32 begins Friday morning at 10 and 11 AM with the Round of 16 at 4 and 5 PM. The quarterfinals will be Saturday at 10 and 11 AM with the semi-finals at 5 and 6 PM, and the final at 11 AM Sunday. Doubles will be Friday night (quarterfinals), Saturday afternoon (semi-finals) and Sunday (final at noon). All times Central.
