Play continued in the group stage of the XXXVI Pan American Championships in Guatemala City Sunday, and American Lexi York claimed the #2 seed for the medal round with a comeback win over Canadian Frédérique Lambert, 6-11, 11-9, 9-11, 11-7, 11-4 in Group 2 of Women’s Singles. York defeated Maria Renee Rodriguez of Guatemala on Saturday, so she’ll finish on top of the three player group and thereby be seeded 2nd in the medal round.
There was another tie-breaker in Women’s Singles Sunday, as Chile’s Carla Muñoz had to hold off Argentina’s Valeria Centellas, 11-9, 11-8, 10-12, 10-12, 11-8, in Group 3.
The longest game of the tournament so far happened in the fifth game of the Women’s Doubles between Costa Ricans Larissa Faeth and Jimena Gomez and Guatemalans Jamileth Sipac and Isabella Wer, as Costa Rica came back to win in five games, 4-11, 11-8, 7-11, 12-10, 15-13.
But we think the match with the most points so far was in Men’s Doubles as Ecuador’s Jose Daniel Ugalde and Juan Francisco Cueva came back twice to defeat Canadians Kurtis Cullen and Trevor Webb, 10-12, 11-8, 9-11, 11-8, 13-11.
Following up on the Costa Rican Mixed Doubles team of Andrés Acuña and Larissa Faeth that we mentioned yesterday, on Sunday they faced former Mixed Doubles Pan Am Champions Rodrigo Montoya and Samantha Salas of Mexico, and more than held their own, as they won the first game, and narrowly lost games two and three, as Mexico prevailed in four games, 6-11, 11-9, 14-12, 11-6.
Faeth is no slouch, and cannot be more than 17 years old, as she played U16 at last year’s World Junior Championships. She made winners against Mexico, and won her singles match in three straight games over Canadian Juliette Parent, 11-5, 11-5, 11-1. She’s clearly one to watch going forward.
The draws are available through the R2 Sports website. Also, some of the matches are being streamed live, so check out the IRF Facebook page or the IRF YouTube channel for matches.
