2014 United Healthcare US Open Racquetball Championships - IRT Preview

The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) draw for the 2014 United Healthcare US Open Racquetball Championships in Minneapolis is out, and they are also playing doubles in Minneapolis.

Below are the draws, and there will be good matches on Wednesday when play begins. For example, Coby Iwaasa, the winner at last weekend's World Racquetball Tour event, could meet Jaime Martell, who defeated Iwaasa the last time they met.

Also, Polo Gutierrez could face Alejandro Cardona, runner up in last weekend's WRT event, but both need to beat good opponents to make that happen. Gutierrez first faces former Canadian Champion Corey Osborne and Cardona is up against Jose Daniel Ugalde.

The singles and doubles qualifying will both be held on Wednesday, so some players could play four times that day. They'll need to be in good shape to survive that and then play well on Thursday.

Play will streamed live via the IRT Network from Wednesday at 7 PM CDT.
