The medal round began on Tuesday, and there were some doubles group stage matches as well at the 33rd International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Let’s high-light some results.
In Boys U21, American Micah Farmer, the 9th seed, beat 8th Adrian Jaldin of Bolivia, 11-7, 11-7, 11-4, in a small upset. Farmer will take on top seed Mexican Pepe Ramos on Thursday. The winner will face Diego in the semi-finals, but we’re not sure if it’ll be Diego Garcia of Argentina or Diego Gatica of Chile, as those two Diegos are facing off in the quarters on Thursday.
Both quarterfinal matches on the bottom of the draw should be good. One is an all Ecuador battle as 3rd seed Josue Bermeo takes on 6th seed Pablo Vera, who defeated 11th seed Andres Matamoros of Costa Rica, 9-11, 11-2, 11-8, 11-9, Tuesday. The other is 2nd seed Hector Barrios of Bolivia versus 7th seed Erick Trujillo of Mexico, as Trujillo beat 10th seed Adrian Elizondo of Costa Rica, 11-1, 11-1, 11-2.
Also on Tuesday, there were two upsets in Girls U16. Twelfth seed Ava Kaiser of the USA upset 5th seed Jimena Gomez of Costa Rica, 11-3, 11-8, 11-6, and 10th seed Ofelia Wilscam of Canada came back from two games down to eke out a win over 7th seed Ashly Arce of Costa Rica, 8-11, 8-11, 11-3, 11-9, 12-10.
In the quarters Thursday, Kaiser will take on Bolivian Natalia Mendez, the 4th seed, who defeated 13th seed Maria Angela Villacreses of Ecuador, 11-3, 11-7, 11-9, and Wilscam faces 2nd seeded Bolivian Krystin Salinas Vasquez.
Also of note in Girls U16, there was an all Guatemala match between 8th seed Anna Paul Augilar Salvatierra and 9th seed Andrea Reyes, which was narrowly won by Aguilar Salvatierra, 8-11, 11-9, 13-11, 2-11, 13-11. She’ll face top seed Yanna Salazar of Mexico in the quarters.
