3WallBall World Championships - Early results

The 3WallBall World Championships have begun in Las Vegas, and some matches have been done in the pro divisions. In a slight upset by the seedings, Nick Montalbano defeated Alejandro Landa, 15-8, 15-12, in the only match of the first round of Men’s Singles. Montalbano will play Rocky Carson in the quarterfinals on Friday.

But the other quarterfinal matches in Men’s Singles are complete. There were no surprises by the seedings, but 3rd seed Charlie Pratt beat 6th seed Alvaro Beltran, 15-10, 15-7, which is a significant win.

Pratt will play 2nd seed Daniel De La Rosa in the quarters on Saturday, as De La Rosa defeated 7th seed Andree Parrilla, 15-4, 15-10.

Fourth seed Fred Ramierez beat 5th seed Eric Fernandez, 15-11, 15-14, and awaits the winner of Carson-Montalbano in the semis.

In Women’s Singles, 3rd seed Rhonda Rajsich defeated 6th seed Cecilla Pratt, 15-5, 15-3. She’ll play one of 2nd seed Jessica Parrilla, 7th seed Sofia Rascon or 10th seed Paola Longoria. Rascon and Longoria play on Friday, with the winner playing Parrilla Saturday at 11 AM.

Yet the winner of that 11 AM match is scheduled to play Rajsich at Noon. That is, the quarterfinal winner will play Rajsich immediately after her quarterfinal match. That’s odd scheduling.

The odd seedings have been explained. World Outdoor Racquetball (WOR) seeds the defending champion of this event as #1 with the previous year runner up seeded #2. Thanks to Aimee Ruiz for pointing this out to us.

Play continues Thursday with the semi-finals on Saturday and finals on Sunday.
