Landa advances 11,13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #5 Canadian number one Murray got his\nfirst career win over #4 DLR in an 11-9 thriller. Game one was back and forth,\nwith DLR coming back to eke it out 15-14, then Murray blitzed game two in about\n10 minutes to force the tiebreaker. There, the players were neck and neck, playing\nback and forth racquetball that was just great for the neutrals, with DLR\nshooting constantly, Murray putting on a defensive and diving clinic, and then\nSam pulling out a great winner to break a 9-9 tie that had lasted several\nservice changes before DLR pressed on a forehand winner to skip out at match\npoint against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #6 Portillo showed some real veteran poise\nthroughout his match against #3 Parrilla, keeping to his game plan and grinding\nout the 11-8 tiebreaker win. This isn&#8217;t necessarily Lalo&#8217;s best ever win (he\nbeat Carson in Arizona in 2019) or his best result (he made the final of the\n2020 Lewis Drug) but it was the kind of match he won when he wasn&#8217;t necessarily\nfavored to win, and he did it by just out playing and out thinking his\nopponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #7 Moscoso got another win over #2 Carson\nin an IRT event (the third in as many pro meetings), but really had to dig deep\nto do so. Carson controlled game one, but Moscoso ground back in game two\nbefore racing to the 11-4 breaker win. Kane and Sudsy were on the mike for the\nfirst part of this match and put on a broadcasting clinic, with some of the\nbest in-match analysis you&#8217;ll ever see. It is worth a re-listen to the\nbroadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Semis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #1 Landa seemed to show some of the\neffects of the layoff and lots of play on Saturday, looking tired throughout\nthe match. He was pressed continually by the Canadian #1, who put on an\nabsolute clinic on defensive racquetball and athletic prowess diving around the\ncourt and showing amazing agility for a big man. Murray saved match point\nagainst and ran off a couple points for victory on the back of a couple of\npretty amazing kill shots from the back court. This was one of those matches\nyou wished was still win by two, because there was little separating these two\nplayers on the day. Murray advances to just his second ever pro final, first\nsince Sept 2018 with the 11-10 thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #7 Moscoso advanced to the finals over #6\nPortillo, but Lalo continued to show his maturation as a player, bouncing back\nfrom an embarrassing first game 15-2 shellacking to take a game from one of the\nworld&#8217;s best players before falling quickly in the breaker. Moscoso advances to\nhis 3rd major final in just 10 career tournaments and is in a great spot to\ntake another title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, just to note the pathway for the two\nfinalists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Murray has beaten Mar, DLR and Landa to\nget here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Moscoso has beaten Mercado, Carson and\nPortillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murray in particular really having a great\nevent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Finals&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murray controlled game one easily, playing\nsmart racquetball and exposing Moscoso&#8217;s go-for-broke style. Conrrado came back\nin game two, getting on a hot streak to push to a breaker. In the tie-breaker,\nMurray continued to grind out points, playing smart racquetball and\ncounter-punching against Moscoso&#8217;s shots. Momentum seemed to swing against\nMurray as Moscoso ran off four straight towards the end &#8230; but Murray\nstiffened up, played smart racquetball, mixed in a few highlight-reel 39 foot\nroll outs of his own to match the flashier Moscoso, then ended the match with a\ndiving re-kill roll-out to take his first ever IRT title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murray played lights out all weekend, and\nmore than earned this title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Points Implications of results<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we&#8217;re not entirely sure what the\npoints implication of this event will be, because we&#8217;re not sure what the tour\nwill do yet with the rankings points The points have been frozen since March,\nbut just turning the system back on and expiring 9 months of points will have a\npretty radical effect on the rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s talk of changing the points system\nas a result, to go away from a rolling 12-month calendar for the time being to\nsomething based on the last 10 tourneys, or perhaps the last two years of\nevents. There&#8217;s also talk of moving to a calendar year system versus a rolling\nseasonal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IF (and this is a big if) we were to stick\nwith rolling 12-months and just expire the points dating to the end of 2019 &#8230;\nthen these are some of the big-time moves we&#8217;ll see in the rankings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; DLR jumps to #2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Finalists Murray and Moscoso jump to #3\nand #4 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Landa drops to #5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Mercado jumps to #7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Estrada, amazingly, jumps from #23 to #8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Parrilla gets dropped to #9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Manilla, also surprisingly , jumps from\n#21 to #10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Beltran drops all the way to #11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; And lastly, most amazingly, Carson would\ndrop from #3 all the way to #15. That&#8217;s right; Rocky, a player who has not been\noutside the top 3 in 20 years or so, had such a badly timed run of results and\nmissed early 2020 events due to injury that he&#8217;d nearly be out of the top 16. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take all this with a grain of salt, because\nI sense the ranking system needs to be modified to protect against such radical\nmoves. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro Doubles review<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doubles Match report in the PRS database: <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Frball.pro%2F6066EC%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3LSjO1XgCZFSx7Z1nXGOMLowCVeomLlQtuJaGsFRB3SL_o0SC6e77QhLo&amp;h=AT2shN5hI4uDdDoRHYlxyOVYTGWX6brYpz_OKwoRqQ3CizLfIBjzZpbOMp6lc_TxnjYQ8EMUvhXhyKNRs6mpIQ4NzfSUL_r_Z4Ly8WpOnwLaIcHxdv9-If5IS_S25BcAtEkWbun_XhjoxFYvyw&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c%5b0%5d=AT23n-Sh9YFHUJQFTOHBkY1x6kItbjRWQaV72GSjFOwwdyM1BM2gZQV4gyVF0PN4uUOYhSx0SARv_uiy_ydXmR8SFKKa8fmxAEl7ltqp5Jp7I0s37zvvG4TjLq47kAiH1MUYNrMGr-mG3NWTIb19NMNXjK3Ct5ZGJa7c1r6cgJGYYXH3ezs2LGw8LFP9Jw2mndhWH6Ou4_nkveJ3GilBGA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/rball.pro\/6066EC<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 14-team doubles draw provided a ton of\ninteresting results on the first night of competition, with a ton of really\nsurprising results. Here&#8217;s a walk through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 16s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #3 seeds DLR and tournament sponsor Donald\nWilliams were handled by the local team of Zachary Patterson and Austin\nCunningham 14,3. I thought the presence of top doubles player DLR would get\nthem at least a round further, but they fall at the opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #6 seeded Colombian&#8217;s Garay and Franco dug\ndeep to hold off the tough pair of Mexicans from Chihuahua Natera &amp; Estrada\nin two tight games 14,10. They&#8217;re setup for a good shot at the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #10 seeds and new pairing Carter &amp; Mar\nreally surprised me and blew past the all-Colombian team of Mercado and Herrera\n6,5. Mercado is such a good doubles player, I thought this would have gone the\nother way based on the inexperience of Carter+Mar pairing &#8230; but as they say,\nthis is why they play the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Quarters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #1 Murray\/Jake had to go breaker to top\nthe experienced Costa Rican pair of Acuna\/Camacho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #4 Sudsy Monchik and Landa had a tense,\ntight match against the Bolivian team of Moscoso\/Carrasco, pulling it out in a\nheated breaker where the American reps came back from 5-8 down in the breaker\nto run the match out. At the death, a highly contested two-bounce call, several\ndebatable replays and then match point awarded via an avoidable when Monchik\nhad a setup in the middle of the court that hit a jumping Moscoso. It was an animated\nfinish to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #3 Garay\/Franco destroyed the Cinderella\nlocal team of Patterson\/Cunningham to move into the semis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; #2 Parrilla\/Portillo took a close 2-game\nwin 11,13 over Carter\/Mar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the semis&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; The US national team of Monchik\/Landa\nstiffened up after a first game blowout loss to #1 seeded Murray\/Jake and\neventually cruised to the tiebreaker 11-3 to move into the finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; The Colombian national team of\nFranco\/Garay held off match point in game two, then blew it out in the breaker\nto move into the final over the #2 seeded all-Mexico team of Parrilla\/Portillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the final&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Monchik &amp; Landa had match point on\ntheir racquets &#8230; twice, but the new Colombian pairing of Franco\/Garay fought\nback and forced the breaker. There. the US champs controlled throghout and\nground out the win. The tail end of game two was some of the best doubles play\ni&#8217;ve ever seen, with all four players hitting amazing shots, and both teams\nshowing tactical adjustments on the fly to try to strategize their way to a\nwin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men&#8217;s Open review; a 35-man open draw went\ndown, with a ton of top pro players dipping down into the draw and making for\nsome great matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the final, Acuna topped Natera in a\nbreaker.
