The previous day, contrary to ranking, Chile’s Nicolas Burgos, Andres Martinez and Manuel Moya, alongside Colombia’s Alexander Echavarria and Puerto Rico’s Angel Naranjo had all secured first places in their group contrary to expectations.

One day later, all maintained their form, all emerged successful in their opening round encounters.

Most impressively Nicolas Burgos beat Guatemala’s Kevin Montufar (11-8, 11-6, 11-4, 11-9), in a similar vein Angel Naranjo overcame Costa Rica’s José Perez (11-4, 11-8, 11-5, 11-6). Equally imposing, Manuel Moya was in no mood for charity, likewise he prevailed in opposition to Guatemala’s Diego de la Cruz (11-5, 11-6, 11-4, 11-3).

Straight games wins, authority imposed; rather differently for Alexander Echavarria and Andres Martinez life was more testing. Both needed the full seven games to secure victory. Alexander Echavarria overcame the Dominican Republic’s Isaac Vila (11-8, 9-11, 11-6, 3-11, 11-8, 6-11, 11-8), Andres Martinez ended the hopes of Puerto Rico’s Gabriel Perez (9-11, 6-11, 11-8, 11-7, 13-15, 11-6, 11-8).

The second round decided, in the men’s doubles the semi-finalists are known. In the top half of the draw Cuba’s Jorge Campos and Andy Pereira face Guatemala’s Allan Gutierrez and Kevin Montufar; in the lower half it is Hector Gatica and Heber Moscoso, also from Guatemala, in opposition to the Dominican Republic’s Samuel Galvez and Emil Santos.

Play in Guatemala City concludes on Saturday 1st June.
