Men's & Women's Singles Round of 32 at 2015 Pan American Games

The Round of 32 is complete for Men's and Women's Singles at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada with no surprises. Canadian veteran Mike Green defeated Colombian junior Set Cubillos, 15-4, 15-4, and will play 2nd seed Carlos Keller of Bolivia in the Round of 16 later today.

Two tie-breakers in the 32s. On the men's side, Ramon De Leon of Dominican Republic squeaked by Christian Wer of Guatemala, 15-12, 8-15, 11-9. De Leon had a lead in the breaker, 6-2, and looked to cruising home. But Wer came back, and actually pulled ahead late, 8-7, with some great shots and diving efforts to keep the ball in play.

But De Leon got to 10-8, and although Wer regained serve and scored a point to make it 10-9, he was called for an avoidable hinder, blocking De Leon's shot. On the ensuing serve, Wer skipped the return, and the match was over.

De Leon will play top seed, and defending Pan Am champion, Rocky Carson in the 16s later today.

On the women's side, Mariana Tobon of Venezuela needed three games to beat Maria Rodriguez of Guatemala, 15-14, 4-15, 11-3. Tobon will play Canadian Frédérique Lambert (Canada) in the Round of 16.

Also in the 16s, American Jake Bredenbeck will face Canadian Coby Iwaasa, after Iwaasa got a walkover win against the injured Fernando Rios of Ecuador. And on the women's side, two team-mate versus team-mate matches, as Americans Rhonda Rajsich and Michelle Key play each other, as do Ecuadorians Veronica Sotomayor and Maria Paz Muñoz.

The Round of 16 for Men's and Women's Singles is Wednesday afternoon with the quarterfinals Thursday morning and semi-finals Thursday afternoon. The gold medal matches are Friday morning (July 24). A team competition - best of three matches, two singles singles and a doubles - will follow from Friday afternoon to Sunday (July 26).
