WRT Mt Rainier Open - Preview

Thirty five players are in the field for this weekend’s World Racquetball Tour (WRT) Mt Rainier Open in Seattle, Washington. Alejandro Cardona is the top seed, and is coming off a win at the last WRT event in San Diego last month. Polo Gutierrez is 2nd seed with Jake Bredenbeck and David Horn the 3rd and 4th seeds, respectively.

They are also playing doubles in Seattle, and Bredenbeck and Sebastian Franco are the top seeds in that competition, as they have won the last two WRT doubles titles. The last team to win before that was Cardona and Danny Lavely, who are the 2nd seeds this weekend.

The Round of 64 begins Thursday night, and the 32s and 16s will be on Friday with the quarterfinals and semi-finals on Saturday and the final on Sunday at noon PDT. Play can be viewed via the WRT website.
