Most seeds through at the 2019 IRT Los Compadres Auto Sales Open

Seven of the top eight seeds in singles and three of the top four seeds in doubles are through to the quarterfinals and semi-finals, respectively, at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Los Compadres Auto Sales Open in Fullerton, California. But Sebastian Franco, the 10th seed, defeated 7th seed Eduardo Portillo, 7-15, 15-12, 11-8, in the Round of 16, to book his place in the quarters, where he’ll face 2nd seed Alejandro Landa, who beat Carlos Keller in two straight games, 15-4, 15-7.

In doubles, it’s the top seeds that are out. The #1 seeded Mexi-Can team of Landa (Mexico) and Samuel Murray (Canada) were victims of the 8th seeded team from Bolivia Keller and Conrrado Moscoso, 15-6, 15-11. The Bolivians will play the USA team of Jake Bredenbeck and Jose Diaz in the semi-finals, as Bredenbeck and Diaz, the 4th seeds, beat 5th seeds Eduardo Garay and Rodrigo Montoya, 15-6, 6-15, 11-6.

But the tastiest match of the day could be between top seed Rocky Carson and 8th seed Daniel De La Rosa. In the 16s, Carson defeated 16th seed Sebastian Fernandez, 15-10, 15-7, and De La Rosa took out 9th seed Rodrigo Montoya, 15-7, 15-10.

Look for all the action via the usual IRT media outlets: The IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. The singles quarterfinals begin at 9 AM Saturday with the semi-finals at 5 and 6 PM Saturday, and the final at noon Sunday. The semi-finals of doubles will be 2 and 3 PM Saturday, and the final at 1 PM Sunday. All times Pacific.
