The first IRT event of the season* (more on that in a moment) was held last weekend in Mexican racquetball hotbed San Luis Potosi, and it featured a solid draw of locals competing for IRT Satellite points. Here’s a quick recap. No r2sports link, so we had to draw inferences on some of the results, but here we go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* you may notice that I said first event of the season, even though we’re in August. That’s right; the IRT’s new leadership has decided to go back to the fall-to-spring schedule instead of the Jan-Dec schedule adopted during the Covid mess. So, we declared a 2024 season champion, and then we’ll declare a 2025-26 season champion next June after the US Open. This was considered more ideal than just declaring a “2025” champ based on the 3 events held in Feb and March of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how this weekend’s event went down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top four seeds were, in order, Andr\u00e9s Parrilla<\/a> , @Erick Trujillo<\/a> , @jordy alonso, and Diego Gastelum<\/a> , all four regular IRT touring pros. However, the rest of the draw featured a slew of solid up and coming players from Mexico and the southwest, including US Junior National team member @DJ Mendoza, @Elias Neito, and 2-time defending Mexican U21 champ @Sebastian Hernandez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the semis hit thought, the top four seeds had advanced to face off. In the top half, Parrillao advanced past Gastelum, while from the bottom half Trujillo got a solid win over Alonso to setup a 1-vs-2 final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final, Parrilla topped Trujillo in a battle of two IRT top 10 players 7,9 to take the title on his home court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a new International Racquetball Tour<\/a> world, with new blood and new ownership, and this is the first of a possible 20-event slate. Great to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
