But that was in the 16/17 match, and it was former #1 Kane Waselenchuk, seeded 17th, defeating 16th seed Sam Bredenbeck, 15-10, 15-10. Bredenbeck actually led early in both games, but wasn’t able to close out either of them against the IRT’s career wins title holder.
Current #1 Daniel De La Rosa needed a tie-breaker to defeat Coby Iwaasa, winning 15-11, 14-15, 11-8, which sets up the anticipated showdown between De La Rosa and Waselenchuk in the Round of 16 Friday morning.

In doubles, top seeds Mar and Rodrigo Montoya will play 8th seeds Robert Collins and Trujillo, who came back from a game down to defeat 9th seeds Iwaasa and Samuel Murray, 9-15, 15-10, 11-6.
