The draws are up for the medal rounds of the XXXVI Pan American Racquetball Championships in Guatemala City. The medal rounds will begin Tuesday, and some players will play twice in singles and twice in doubles, so if a player in playing both singles and doubles, they may play four times on Tuesday. That’s a lot of racquetball in one day.
Some aspects of the draws are probably disappointing, as team-mates play each other early in both men’s and women’s singles. On the women’s side, Americans Lexi York and Michelle Key may face off in the quarterfinals, if Key defeats Argentina’s Valeria Centellas in the Round of 16. Thus, only one of them can make the podium.
Similarly on the men’s side, Guatemalans Edwin Galicia and Juan Salvatierra face each other right of the bat in the Round of 16 with the winner to play top seed Javier Mar of Mexico in the quarters.
Also, if Carlos Keller of Bolivia beats Alan Natera of Chile in the 16s, he’ll play his team-mate Conrrado Moscoso in the quarterfinals. Both Keller and Moscoso have won gold at Pan Am Championships, but this year only one of them can make the podium (and neither may, if Natera defeats them both).
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.
