Lets review the notable matches in the Singles draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singles Match report in the PRS database: https:\/\/rball.pro\/avw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 128s and 64s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Solid win by Nick Riffel to advance over Colombian @AndAndres G<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Bravo to Colombian junior Jhonathan Flores to push solid Mexican veteran Jaime Martell to a breaker before falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– @Anthony Martin with a solid win over budding star @EzeEzequiel Subi to move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– NorCal’s @Walter Ramos pushed Sam Bredenbeck a little in the second game but fell 2,10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 32s, a few blow-outs but five tie-breakers with some upsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Natera pushed to a breaker to down Collins in the 16\/17 match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Riffel pushed Keller to an 11-7 breaker before losing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sam Bredenbeck got the first game but cou ldn’t close out against Bolivian @Kadim Carrasco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two notable upsets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Argentina’s Diego Garc\u00eda<\/a> took out @Javier Mar<\/a> 11-10 in perhaps his best professional win. Match point was amazing, with multiple dives from Mar to extend the rally and then a backhand overhead splat winner from Diego to take it. He gets a crack at Rocky next, and is clearly building on his main-draw appearance last week at the US Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– In an all-Mexico affair, Martel took out Fernandez to move on. This is an upset by seed, and probably a slight upset by true talent levels, but its still a great win for Martel, who always seems to make noise when he plays IRT events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 16s, a couple more massive wins for infrequent tour players<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Martell took out #3 @Samuel Murray 8,14 to make his first ever IRT pro singles quarterfinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Garcia achieved the same feat, topping Carson in a breaker to get to his first ever pro quarter as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable 16s results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #8 Manilla held serve and topped the always-tough #9 Keller in a breaker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The mercurial Mercado (hey, that almost rhymes!) dispatched the US Open finalist Montoya with relative ease. Its all about the matchups: despite recent runs of form, Mercado has now beaten Montoya in 3 of their 4 meetings, and in all 3 pro meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Quarters, some more shocks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Moscoso ground out a win against Manilla, who made it closer than some may have thought it’d be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The Garcia train came to a crashing halt at the hands of fellow youngster Portillo, who blew past him 2,5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– For about 15 minutes it looked like another major upset for Martell, who took down his former frequent WRT rival Bredenbeck 15-2 in the first. Then, Jake woke up and crushed Jaime 15-3, 11-2 the rest of the way to improve to 7-1 lifetime against him to move into the semis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Mercado continued providing surprises, edging #2 @Andree Parrilla 13,14 to move into the semis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Semis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Moscoso pulled a rabbit out of his hat to win an 11-10 breaker over Portillo, in a match he really should not have won. Portillo had a setup at 10-7 and missed it, and Conrrado never gave the serve back. Lost opportunity for Lalo, but credit to Conrrado for making it to the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Jake repeated the results from last week at the US Open, topping Mercado in two straightforward games to make his second ever IRT pro final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Finals, Moscoso cruised to his 4th title, winning 11,7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Points Implications of results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tournament expires the Jan 2021 Atlanta Grand slam, which was won by Sam, so he had a ton of points to defend. Fittingly, he’ll fall from #4 to #6 after this weekend. Despite winning this weekend with Daniel missing the event, Conrrado only picks up a few points on DLR in the race for #1. Despite not playing, Kane actually improved one spot since he did not play the 2021 event that dropped off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doubles review<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Match report in the PRS database: https:\/\/rball.pro\/acs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due credit to Portillo\/Acuna, who have teamed up anew this year and are getting results. they made the MD pro doubles final, and now they’ve topped the #1 seeds Montoya\/Mar to make this final from the top half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the bottom half, #2 Parrilla\/Murray had to fend off mat-point against from home town favorites Manilla\/Fernandez before advancing 11-10 into the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final, the veteran doubles team of Murray\/Parrilla finally got a win together, topping team Dovetail 10,13 for the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men’s Open, other draws<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sebastian Fernandez won the Men’s Open title as the #1 seed, beating surprise finalist Colombian junior @Jhonatan Flores in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Garcia teamed with NorCal top player @Will Reynolds to take the Men’s Open doubles title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– @Carla Munoz<\/a> topped @Annie Roberts in the Women’s Open final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Mercado teamed with @Kimberly Randolph to beat Munoz\/@Tyrone Snipes in the Mixed Open final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for all the streaming on the weekend, especially from broadcasters @Favio Soto and his collection of guest broadcasters, which included Erika Manilla and other local voices who did a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
