Charlie Pratt also came out of the qualifier draw and had a great match against Rocky in the round of 32 pushing it to a tie-breaker. 15-7, 13-15, 5-11.. Charles Pratt also played men’s open doubles with Robert Collins. They won two rounds and advanced to the semifinals against Kadim Carrasco and Roland Keller, losing in two really good games.
Team Zurek had some great results as well as they have been putting in some serious work. I am so proud of all them.

He also played the men’s open singles, and made it to the semifinals. He pushed Mario Mercado and lost a close one, 15-14, 15-14. Erick had a great weekend in Atlanta and is improving after each event he plays in.
Sebastian Franco also had a great performance in the pro singles draw as he qualified into Erick Cuevas, then won over Lalo Portillo and lost to Andree Parrilla in two close games. Sebastian has made some great improvements and it shows in his performance on the court. Big things coming from him soon.
Francisco also played men’s elite doubles with Jake Vanburen. They won their first round and then lost a close breaker in the quarterfinals, 6-15, 15-13, 6-11. Francisco continues to gain more confidence and is getting stronger with his movement.

It was great to see everyone, thank you to everyone at the IRT, the tournament staff, Jason Chan and his club staff for the amazing facility, Donald Williams for taking care of everyone and all of the sponsors. I was so excited to see so many Team HEAD players as we continue to dominate the courts.
