Guatemalan Gabriela Martinez will begin her quest to finish off her junior years with a gold medal in Girl’s U18 to go with the Women’s Singles World Championship she won in August. She’ll play Canadian Alexis Iwaasa in the quarterfinals Thursday at the 30th edition of the International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Racquetball Championships in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
A win against Iwaasa, and Martinez will likely play top seed Ana Laura Flores of Mexico in the semi-finals. Then if she makes the final, Martinez could face another Mexican in Montserrat Mejia, who is the defending Girl’s U18 gold medalist, as she defeated Martinez in last year’s final. Mejia also beat Martinez in the group stage earlier in the week. So, Martinez’s work is cut out for her.
In the Boy’s U18 division, Eduardo Portillo of Mexico is trying to get back to the final for a second consecutive year, and he beat Johan Igor of Chile, 15-1, 15-7. Portillo will face Nathan Martinez of Guatemala in the quarters, as Martinez defeated Pablo Freer of Costa Rica, 12-15, 15-4, 11-6, in the Round of 16.

Doubles results from the 2018 IRF World Junior Championships
Bolivians Gerson Miranda and Fernando Ruiz defeated Mexicans Sebastian Fernandez and Rodrigo Rodriguez, 15-13, 5-15, 11-6, in the last round of the group stage of Boy’s U18 doubles at the 30th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Racquetball Championships in San Luis Potosi, Mexico on Wednesday to claim the top seeding for the medal round that will begin on Thursday. The Mexicans are seeded 3rd.
Miranda and Ruiz will get a walkover win in the quarters, as the Canadian team was a late withdrawal from the tournament, so they await the winners of 4th seeds Nathan Martinez and Jose Salvatierra of Guatemala and 5th seeds Ricardo Diaz and Dane Elkins from the USA.
On the other side of the draw, Fernandez and Rodriguez will play Hondurans Sergio Ortega and Marco Sarmiento with the winners to play either 2nd seeds Julian Homberger and Andres Montero from Costa Rica or 7th seeds Rafael Gatica and Johan Igor of Chile.
In Girl’s U18 doubles, Mexicans Ana Laura Flores and Abril Sacristan won a battle of undefeated teams Wednesday, as they defeated Maria Jose Muñoz and Ana Lucia Sarmiento of Ecuador, 15-6, 15-5. The win likely assures Mexico the gold medal, as even if they lose their last match to the USA’s Hannah Carver and Megan Carver they would have the same record as Ecuador - 3 wins and 1 loss - but have won the head to head match.
The Carver sisters are 1-2 after losing to Canadians Alexis Iwaasa and Marjolaine Parent, 15-7, 15-6, on Wednesday, so they have the same record as Canada. But the Canadians play winless Costa Rica Thursday, while the USA plays undefeated Mexico, so Canada will likely finish 3rd and the USA 4th.
