The medal round began on Wednesday at the 34th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships in Tarija, Bolivia. There haven’t been many upsets so far, and some of the top seeds haven’t been in action yet.
However, in a close match in Girls U21 Singles, 10th seed Jazmin Elizabeth Aguilar Salvatierra of Guatemala defeated 7th seed Maria Gutierrez of Mexico, 9-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-9. Salvatierra will play 2nd seed Camila Rivero of Bolivia in the quarterfinals.
In Boys U21 Singles, Canadian Naman Gauri, the 12th seed, beat 5th seed Esteban De Janon Calderon of Ecuador, 13-11, 11-9, 11-8, and will play the winner of 4th seed Jhoel Alexis Acha Portugal of Bolivia and 13th seed Juan Segovia of Colombia.
In Girls U18 Singles, 10th seed Anna Paula Aguilar Salvatierra of Guatemala and 7th seed Paula Mansilla of Chile had a marathon match with Salvatierra came out on top, winning 11-5, 6-11, 5-11, 11-6, 13-11. She’ll play 2nd seed Kristin Salinas of Bolivia in the quarterfinals.
Guatemalans played off in the Boys U18 Singles Round of 16 with 10th seed Jose Caceras getting the better of 7th seed Hector Sierra Mansilla, 13-11, 11-7, 11-6. Caceras will play 2nd seed Jorge Gutierrez Ortiz of Mexico in the quarterfinals, as Ortiz beat 15th seed Joaquin Benalcazar of Ecuador, 11-1, 11-1, 11-0.
There was also a tie-breaker in Boys U16 Singles between Costa Rican Gabriel Matamoros, the 10th seed, and 7th seed Raphel Guillemette of Canada, with Matamoros coming out on top, 11-9, 11-4, 9-11, 8-11, 11-4. He’ll play 2nd seed Marco Mamani Aguilar of Bolivia in the quarterfinals, as Aguilar beat 15th Christian Aldana of Guatemala, 11-5, 11-2, 11-0.
Pick ‘em divison
The most interesting division might be Girls U18 Doubles, which has four teams, and through the round robin, the Mexican team of Ivanna Balderrama and Cynthia Gutierrez are 3-0, and the other teams are all 1-2. But the Mexicans haven’t been blowing the other teams away. Far from it.
They defeated the USA team of Heather Mahoney and Naomi Ros in five games, 11-8, 9-11, 11-5, 15-17, 11-4. Their wins over the other two teams were in three games, but against the Bolivians Rebecca Amaya and Valeria Miranda Martinez it was three 2 point games, 14-12, 11-9, 11-9, and against Guatemalans Andrea Reyes Perez and Anna Paula Aguilar Salvatierra, it was two 2 point games and a 3 point game, 12-10, 11-8, 12-10.
So, the Mexicans aren’t having landslide victories, and with the other teams all beating up on each other, who knows what’s going to happen in the playoffs.
Hopefully, some of those matches will be live streamed from Bolivia. For the live streaming, check out the IRF YouTube channel or the IRF Facebook page for the action.
