The 10th and 13th ranked both won their matches to move into the Round of 16 on Friday.

Jose Diaz defeated Matt Fontana, 11-2, 11-7, 11-5, Thursday to create a Jose-Jose match in the 16s on Friday, as he’ll face Jose Rojas tomorrow.

One surprise win Thursday was pulled off by Cuban Noslen Jimenez Garcia who defeated Colombian Sebastian Franco, 8-11, 11-8, 11-5, 11-7, and will now play IRT #1 Rocky Carson in the 16s Friday.

Also, as anticipated left hander Robert Collins and Floridian Mike Harmon had a barn-burner of a match with Collins coming out on top in five games, 9-11, 11-4, 9-11, 11-9, 11-9. He’ll play Jansen Allen, the 8th ranked IRT player, in the Round of 16 on Friday.
