One of the “big 3” WOR events of the year was this past weekend; lets wrap up the play.\u00a0 All the results are now in the\u00a0www.proracquetballstats.com\u00a0<\/a>database, and i’ve interspersed links to the match report below per bracket. There were some upsets, and some expected match-ups for titles … all under the Vegas sun.<\/p>\n

Men’s Singles 3-wall: In the final\u00a0Nick Montalbano<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0blew away doubles partner William Rolon<\/strong> 3,8 in the final. Montalbano had survived an early round upset bid by Bolivian\u00a0Conrrado Moscoso<\/strong><\/a>, who flew to this event with doubles partner\u00a0Roland Keller<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0before heading to Minnesota for the US Open. Match Report:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/2NeFOXV<\/a><\/p>\n

Women’s Singles 3-wall: It was #1 versus #2, with the two most dominant outdoor Women’s players meeting once again for a title. And once again,\u00a0Janel Tisinger-Ledkins<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0came out on top over LPRT legend\u00a0Rhonda Rajsich\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>in a tiebreaker. Match Report:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/2NfnNsg<\/a><\/p>\n

Men’s Doubles 3-Wall: The biggest pro draw at the event (14 teams) came down to #1 versus #2 in the final, and it went to the current indoor World Champion team of\u00a0Alvaro Beltran<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and Daniel De La Rosa<\/strong> over one-wall guru\u00a0Robert Sostre<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and David Horn<\/a><\/strong>. Match Report:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/2NWkfQS<\/a><\/p>\n

Women’s Doubles 3-wall: four solid teams battled it out round robin style, and in the end the match to determine the winner went 11-10. The title goes to the team of Rajsich and Michelle Herbert<\/strong> over\u00a0Michelle De La Rosa<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and Carla Mu\u00f1oz<\/strong><\/a>. Match Report:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Oom2xB<\/a><\/p>\n

Mixed Doubles 3-wall: The #1 seeded De La Rosa husband-wife team was unseated for the title by Rajsich and outdoor legend Rick “Soda Man”\u00a0Rick Koll<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>11-9 in the breaker. Match Report:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/2NSEgYB<\/a><\/p>\n

Men’s Doubles 1-wall: The 3-wall runners up team of Sostre and Horn took out the two guys who made the singles final in Montalbano\/Rolon 13,7 in a very New York-flavored 1-wall final. Match report:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Rl2I38<\/a><\/p>\n

Mixed Doubles 1-wall: just two teams entered, but they played a tough tiebreaker. Rajsich\/Koll over Tisinger and DC-native\u00a0Jason <\/a>Geis<\/strong> 11-4 in the breaker. Match report:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/2OmNzjb<\/a><\/p>\n

Great weekends for, in particular, Montalbano (singles title, 1-wall doubles final), Rajsich (singles finalist, doubles 3-wall champ, Mixed 3-wall champ, and mixed 1-wall champ), Koll (Mixed 3-wall champ and mixed 1-wall champ), Sostre and Horn (3-wall mens finalist, 1-wall mens champ), Rolon (singles finalist, 1-wall doubles finalist), and Tisinger (Singles champ, 1-wall finalist).<\/p>\n
