After some interesting upsets on Thursday there were none in Friday's Round of 16 at the Cactus Salon New York City Pro Am, a Tier 1 event on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT), as all the top 8 players won their matches. Furthermore only two matches were more than three games.
Top seed Kane Waselenchuk defeated Jose Rojas by the comfortable score line of 11-2, 11-3, 11-3, and second seed Jack Huczek also won in three straight over Nick Montalbano, 11-3, 11-8, 11-4.
Only Mitch Williams and Shane Vanderson dropped games to their opponents in the 16s. Williams needed four games to fend off Anthony Herrera, 11-9, 11-6, 11-13, 11-8, while Vanderson also required four games to get by Alejandro Landa, 11-6, 11-6, 11-13, 11-2.
Matches from the quarter finals through the finals are being streamed live over the web at the IRT Network.com. The first quarter final is Jack Huczek vs. Chris Crowther at 5:30 PM Eastern time Friday.
