While the LPRT was in Chicago, there was an IRT-sanctioned lower-tier event in Monterrey Mexico last weekend that featured a handful of IRT tour regulars. Lets do a quick recap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top 4 seeds in this event are also the four most “notable” names to most IRT fans: #1 seed and current #2 player on tour Andree Parrilla<\/a> , #2 up and coming Mexican phenom Erick Trujillo<\/a> , #3 seed the always dangerous Jordy Alonso , and #4 seed the ever-present tour player Erick Diaz Fernandez . These four advanced to the semis as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarter final losers include a set of names to know in Mexican racquetball: Christian Longoria was the #8 seed and lost to Parrilla in the quarters, but managed to score the most points against him of any player this weekend and was probably underseeded. @Diego Gastelu (the #1 seed at Mexican Junior Nationals U21 division earlier this fall), Oscar Nieto and Sebastian Hernandez<\/a> rounded out the rest of the quarterfinalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semis, Andree made fast work of Cuevas, while Alonso took out Trujillo in an 11-8 thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final was anti-climactic, as Parrilla trounced Alonso 6,5 to win the title. The event serves as a nice little tune-up for Parrilla as he heads to Portland for the season’s last event, one where he projects to be the #1 seed with the 1,2 players likely missing the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parrilla teamed up with Cuevas to take the Open Doubles, topping Trujillo and @Jose Ramos<\/a> in the final. Ramos is a name to take note of; he won the U21 division at Mexican Junior nationals, beating Trujillo in the final. He has 6 junior national titles and is every bit as talented as some up and coming Mexican younger players like Trujillo, Ortega Jr., Gastelum, and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
