The Tracktown Open IRT ProAm Round of 32

The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) is back in action this Labour Day weekend with The Tracktown Open IRT ProAm in Eugene, Oregon. Oregon is a hotbed of racquetball with great high school and university programs, but this is the first IRT tournament to be held in Eugene, although Portland has hosted many events. There’s a smaller field in Eugene with 24 players competing, but all the top 10 players are there, as well as veterans Alvaro Beltran and Kane Waselenchuk, who are playing doubles together.

Play began on Thursday, and Beltran had the only upset win in the Round of 32, as he beat 13th seed Robert Collins, 15-2, 15-11. He’ll face IRT #4 Rodrigo Montoya in the Round of 16 Friday.

In doubles, Beltran and Waselenchuk, seeded 8th, defeated 9th seeds Wayne Antone and Erick Cuevas Fernandez, 15-9, 15-7, on Thursday in the 16s, and will play top seeds Adam Manilla and Andree Parrilla in the quarterfinals on Friday. That’ll be two lefty-righty teams in a battle of youthful enthusiasm versus wily veterans.

The other doubles quarterfinals should be good too. Fourth seeds Montoya and Alan Natera face 5th seeds Andrés Acuña and Eduardo Portillo. Third seeds Jake Bredenbeck and Samuel Murray play 6th seeds Kadim Carrasco and Conrrado Moscoso, and Daniel De La Rosa and Alejandro Landa will play 7th seeds Robert Collins and Erick Trujillo.

The singles Round of 16 begins at 10 AM Friday with the doubles quarters starting at 1 PM. You can see some of the IRT action via the usual IRT media outlets: The IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. The singles final will be Sunday at 11 AM with the doubles final at noon. All times Pacific.
