2015 WRT Sonora Open Round 32 & 16

The World Racquetball Tour (WRT) is in action this weekend with the Sonora Open in Hermosillo, New Mexico. There's a smaller draw that they've had recently, but still 20 players are vying for the title.

Two young Mexicans have made the quarterfinals. Current U16 World Junior Champion Christian Longoria will play top seed Polo Gutierrez in the quarter after Longoria upset 8th seed Erick Sandoval, 15-12, 15-12, and the 2013 U16 World Junior Champion Andree Parrilla faces 2nd seed Alejandro Cardona after beating 7th seed Sebastian Franco, 15-12, 15-12.

But the biggest upset was 12th seed Javier Mar's win over 5th seed Anthony Herrera, 15-9, 15-9. Mar will play 4th seed David Horn in the quarters.

You can watch the quarterfinal action from Hermosillo live from 10 AM MST via the WRT website.
