Here’s a quick review of the tourney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Men’s Singles, no upsets to the quarters. In the qtrs:
– #1\u00a0Alex Landa<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>topped #8\u00a0Ruben Estrada<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in an injury fft after winning the first game.
– #5\u00a0Alan Natera Chavez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0topped #4\u00a0Ernesto Ochoa<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a tie-breaker fitting of the 4\/5 match-up.
– #6\u00a0Alex Cardona<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0took out #3\u00a0Javier Estrada<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in two close games. Was his amazing performance in Chihuahua earlier this year an aberration?
– #2\u00a0Eduardo Garay Rodriguez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0topped the veteran\u00a0Polo Guti\u00e9rrez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a010,2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Semis;
– Landa and Natera battled in a close game 1, then Landa pulled away to take game two 15-3 and advance to the final of his namesake tourney.
– Cardona took two close games from Garay 13,12 to “upset” his 2nd straight seeded player and advance to the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Final: 
– Cardona took the first game, then Landa took over, beating his frequent Juarez club playing partner (12),5,6 to win the singles title in his name sake event. Not a bad showing for Cardona, who has stepped back from competitive play but still remains a dangerous player in every draw he enters. For Landa, two solid wins over tough opponents and a good warmup for the new season coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

————————<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Men’s Doubles:
– #1 seeds Landa\/Cardona were upset in the semis by #4 Estrada\/Ochoa in a tiebreaker.
– #2 Natera\/Garay downed #6 seeds (who got a walkover over #3 seeded team in the qtrs) Jose Martinez \/ Manuel Villarreal: to advance to the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a good final entirely consisting of solid Mexican players who rarely feature in USA domestic IRT events, Estrada and Ochoa blasted their way to a win over Natera\/Garay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up; the start of the 2019-20 pro season with the LPRT<\/a> heading to San Luis Potosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
