Parrilla a double winner on home soil.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While the Pan American Games team events were wrapping up last weekend, there was a nice little Tier 5 IRT event happening in San Luis Potosi, SL Mexico with some top Mexican players. Here’s a quick wrap-up of the Men’s and Women’s draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men\u2019s Singles: there was a 20-man IRT pro draw, with the top 8 being household names to IRT regular fans. There were no upsets to the quarters, so we\u2019ll pick up the draw review there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #1\u00a0Andree Parrilla<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0topped #8\u00a0Alan Natera Chavez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a tie-breaker. As is often the case with Natera, he\u2019s under-seeded in these events and has good wins on his resume and stretched the top seed in an early round.
– #4\u00a0Eduardo Garay Rodriguez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0topped #5\u00a0Jordy Alonso<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in two tight games 13,11. Alonso has been playing well lately but couldn\u2019t top Garay on this day.
– #3\u00a0Eduardo Portillo Rendon<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0topped #6\u00a0Ernesto Ochoa<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a tiebreaker, a great win against a dangerous opponent.
– #7\u00a0Javier Estrada<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0took out #2\u00a0Gerardo Franco Gonzalez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a tiebreaker, a tough match-up in the quarters for Franco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #1 Parrilla outlasted Garay in two
– #3 Portillo got a great win, trouncing Estrada 2,7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final, Parrilla dominated his younger countryman, winning the title 4,9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parrilla gets a nice jump start to the season; the odds of this tier 5 factoring in the 2019-20 race seem pretty small; Parrilla gets just 30 rankings points for winning a Tier 5 … he’ll get three times that just for showing up in the first Tier 1 next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s Singles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Women\u2019s Open draw featured a smaller draw of mostly younger Mexican women and included 3 recent Mexican 18U junior national champs. The draw when chalk to the semis….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

– #4\u00a0Ana Laura Flores Saavedra<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0topped #1\u00a0Montse P\u00e9rez Casta\u00f1eda<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a tiebreaker
– #3\u00a0Jessica Parrilla<\/strong><\/a>, still working her way back from injury, topped #2 Erin Groves <\/strong>in two tight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final, Flores came back from a game one deficit to trounce Parrilla in the 2nd and 3rd games to take the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Men\u2019s pro Doubles: Parrilla & Portillo beat Natera and Garay in the Men\u2019s doubles final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun note: it was a Parrilla family affair, with father, son and daughter all competing.\u00a0Fabian Parrilla<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
