2014 IRT New Jersey Open Round of 16

Alejandro Landa was the only upset winner in the Round of 16 at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) New Jersey Open in Warren, New Jersey, but that's not a big upset, as he was the 9th seed and defeated 8th seed Marco Rojas, 11-4, 8-11, 11-5, 11-8. Landa will play top seed Rocky Carson in the quarterfinals, as Carson beat Coby Iwaasa, 11-3, 11-2, 11-4, in the 16s.

One match in the 16 went tie-breaker, which was between 5th seed Jansen Allen and Jake Bredenbeck. Bredenbeck got up 2-1 on Allen, but Allen came back and won it in five games, 12-10, 9-11, 2-11, 11-8, 11-7, to set up a match with Daniel De La Rosa, who was a straight game winner over Fernando Rios, 11-5, 11-6, 11-4.

The IRT Network will have the quarterfinal action beginning at 4 PM EST Friday afternoon.
