2017 Mexico National Team Selection Event - Quarterfinals

Javier Estrada won the all-Javier match in the quarterfinals of the 2017 Mexican Racquetball Federation National Team Selection Event in Chihuahua, Mexico Friday, as he defeated veteran Javier Moreno, 15-5, 15-14. The win sets up another all-Javier match in the semi-finals Saturday, as Estrada will face top seed Javier Mar, who defeated 8th seed Rodrigo Garay, 15-3, 15-7, on Friday.

On the other side of the draw, Andree Parrilla booked his place in the semis with a straight game win over Polo Gutierrez, 15-14, 15-8. Parrilla faces 3rd seed Alejandro Landa, who defeated 6th seed Ruben Estrada, 15-13, 2-15, 11-5, in the quarterfinals.

There have been no upsets in Men’s or Women’s Doubles, although the 2nd seeds in Men’s Doubles - Rodrigo Montoya and Andree Parrilla - squeaked out their match, as they needed a tie breaker to defeat 7th seeds Erick Sandoval and Ramon Yañez, 15-14, 10-15, 11-9, in one of those rare matches where the winning side has fewer points than the losing side.

The semi-finals will be played Saturday with the finals on Sunday in Chihuahua.
