RKT hosted a solid event in San Luis Potosi over the weekend. The 2019 San Luis Potosi open. The draws weren’t online: thanks to Lalo Portillo<\/a> for emailing me a picture of the draw so that I can do this recap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lets recap the Men’s singles event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 16s, just two upsets by seeds both in the typical spots (8\/9 and 7\/10 matches):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– #1 Andree Parrilla<\/a> took out #16 Rodrigo Nino
– #9 Jordy Alonso got a nice win over #8 Christian Longoria.
– #5 Javier Estrada took out #12 Andres Trejo
– #4 Javier Mar beat #13 Emir Mtz, fresh of an appearance at the junior worlds.
– #3 Rodrigo Montoya Sol\u00eds<\/a> took out Cristhian Sanchez Rico in two.
– #6 Alan Natera Chavez<\/a> defeated Saul Rivera in two.
– #10 Alejandro Romo took out the youngster Elias NIeeto Zedalav in two closer games.
– #2 Lalo Portillo99<\/a> defeated Diego Gastelum in two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These results setup some really solid quarter finals.
– #1 Parrilla took out #9 Alonso 9,6
– #4 Mar handled #5 Estrada in two games 5,6 to avenge a loss in an RKT event earlier this fall in Mexico City.
– #6 Natera got a solid win over Montoya 10,9. These two have split matches evenly against each other all year.
– #2 Portillo crushed the upset minded Romo in two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the semis, we got the 1-2 final we sought.
– #1 Parrilla took out #4 Mar (13),10,9. Despite the seeding (which was done with IRT points b\/c this was an IRT sanctioned event), this is an upset in my book.
– #2 Portillo advanced with a solid two game win over Natera 12,12 (this may have been 2,12; the handwriting on the draw is pretty scratchy). Either way, this is not the first time in 2019 that Portillo has beaten Natera in SLP on home soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final:
– #2 Portillo got one of the best wins of his career, topping #1 Parrilla (13),12,5 to take the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————-
This event was purportedly an IRT Tier 5 event, so the players will get a bit of a ratings bump ahead of next weekend’s IRT event in Oregon. It won’t be enough for Portillo to eclipse Samuel Murray<\/a> for 8th place on the tour, but he’s well on his way to that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

——————–
Next up! IRT Tier 1 action in Oregon, with one of the better events of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
