2017 WRT LifeTime Denver Open - Quarterfinals

The bottom of the draw at the World Racquetball Tour (WRT) Life Time Denver Open in Centennial, Colorado continues to be problematic for higher seeds, as both lower seeds won their respective quarterfinal matches Friday. Seventh seed Jake Bredenbeck took out 2nd seed Alejandro Cardona in two straight games, 15-8, 15-4, in one quarterfinal, while 22nd seed Andres Acuña beat 14th seed Shai Manzuri in the other quarter, 15-8, 15-9, to set up a semi-final meeting between Bredenbeck and Acuña for Saturday morning.

On the top side of the draw, it’s situation normal, as #1 seed Rodrigo Montoya will play #4 Andree Parrilla after Montoya defeated Mauro Rojas, 15-6, 15-10, and Parrilla beat Jose Diaz, 15-11, 15-10, in their quarterfinal matches.

You can see the semi-finals live Saturday via the WRT website beginning at 11 AM Mountain Time with the final Saturday at 5 PM. The doubles final will follow the singles final.
