The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) is back in action today with the IRT KWM Gutterman Shamrock Shootout in Lombard, Illinois. It is a stacked field with 17 of the top 19 IRT players in action, and overall 44 players are in the singles draw, but that does not include IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk. However, Waselenchuk is in Lombard, as he’s playing doubles with Sudsy Monchik. They are seeded 9th, so may meet top seeds Alvaro Beltran and Daniel De La Rosa in the quarterfinals.
Thus IRT #2 Alejandro Landa is the top seed in singles with De La Rosa, who won the last IRT event in Colorado, as the 2nd seed. Samuel Murray, who won his first IRT event back in January, is the 3rd seed, and veteran Rocky Carson is the 4th seed. When is the last time Carson wasn’t in the top 3 seeds? That must have been a long time ago.
Landa and Murray - who's coming off a weekend of winning Canadian Championships in both Men’s Singles and Men’s Doubles - are the 2nd seeds in doubles with Andree Parrilla and Eduardo Portillo 3rd seeds and Javier Mar and Rodrigo Montoya 4th seeds.
The Shamrock Shootout action can be seen via the usual IRT media outlets: The IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. There will be two rounds of matches on Thursday starting at 1 PM. The Round of 32 begins Friday morning at 9 and 10 PM with the Round of 16 at 4 and 5 PM. The quarterfinals will be Saturday from 10 and 11 AM with the semi-finals at 5:30 and 6:30 PM. The singles final will be 1 PM Sunday. The doubles Round of 16 and quarterfinals are Friday with the semi-finals Saturday afternoon at 1 and 2 PM and the final Saturday night at 8:30 PM. All times Central.
