The 2023 Pan American Games racquetball competition began Saturday in Santiago, Chile, and there were no big upsets. However, both 16/17 matches in Men’s and Women’s Singles were won by the 17th seeds. In Men’s Singles, 17th seed Maikel Moyet of Cuba came back from a game down to defeat 16th seed Juan Salvatierra (Independent Athletes; i.e., Guatemala), 4-11, 15-13, 11-9, 11-5. Then in Women’s Singles, Canadian Frédérique Lambert, the 17th seed, beat Chilean and 16th seed Paula Mansilla, 11-3, 11-2, 11-6.
On Sunday, Moyet will play top seed and current Pan American Champion Conrrado Moscoso of Bolivia in the Round of 16, while Lambert will go against top seed Natalia Mendez of Argentina.
The only other upset on Saturday was by the Dominican Republic’s Merynanyelly Delgado, who as the 19th seed upset 14th seed Maria José Muñoz of Ecuador, 11-6, 8-11, 11-6, 1-11, 11-7. Delagdo will face 3rd seed - and three time defending Pan Am Games gold medalist - Paola Longoria of Mexico in the 16s Sunday.
Pan Am Games Streaming
We understand that the Panam Sports Channel will be carrying racquetball from October 24 on. Maybe they will have some before that. Check out the IRF Facebook page for updates.
Also, if you are in Canada, you may be able to see some of the action through the CBC Gem app (available where you get your apps), or possibly CBCSports.ca or the CBC Sport app. Coverage will be dependent on what they can access from the host broadcasters, and will be more likely if Canadians are still alive in the draws.
