Rodrigo Montoya upset Andree Parrilla in the Round of 16 at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) 37th Annual PapaNicholas Coffee Shamrock Shootout in Lombard, Illinois Friday, as he knocked off the IRT’s #2 player in a tie-breaker, 6-15, 15-14, 11-9, in a battle of two Mexican national team players.
Montoya will play 7th seed Conrrado Moscoso in the quarterfinals on Saturday, as Moscoso beat 10th seed Mario Mercado, 15-6, 15-4, in the 16s.
There were no other upsets in the Round of 16, as the higher seeds all won, including IRT #1 Daniel De La Rosa, who defeated 17th seed Thomas Carter, 15-11, 15-12. De La Rosa will play veteran Rocky Carson, the 8th seed, in the quarters, as Carson beat Jordy Alonso, 15-6, 15-7, Friday.
But De La Rosa was not so fortunate in doubles, as he and Alvaro Beltran, the #1 seeds, were upset by Carson and Eduardo Portillo, 15-9, 4-15, 11-8, in the quarters. Carson and Portillo will play Bolivians Roland Keller and Moscoso in the semi-finals, as the Bolivians defeated 5th seeds Sebastian Fernandez and Parrilla, 15-13, 15-8.
The higher seeds won the other quarterfinals matches in doubles, although 2nd seeds Javier Mar and Rodrigo Montoya needed to come back against 7th seeds Adam Manilla and Mario Mercado and even then it went to the limit with Mar and Montoya winning, 8-15, 15-11, 11-10. Mar and Montoya will play 3rd seeds Jake Bredenbeck and Samuel Murray in the semis, as they beat 6th seeds Sebastian Franco and Eduardo Garay, 15-5, 15-8, in the quarters.
