The open final featured Emmett Coe (NPA National Doubles Champ in 2012 and 2014) and Danny Lavely (a regular on the World Racquetball Tour) versus Chris Crowther (NPA National Singles Champ in 2006 and highly ranked racquetball player) and Seung Jun Jeon (one of the top racquetball players from South Korea).
Crowther and Jun prevailed in an extremely exciting match, 15 – 10, 2 – 15, 11 – 8.
Look for a Jamie Lawson article on the San Diego Open in the next NPA newsletter. Here is a taste of Jamie’s description of the Open Final.
The final began with a rally lasting at least 30 shots, and not a particularly defensive rally. There were diving gets, offensive cutoffs, and great covers. The rally ended with Coe skipping a very difficult kill. The remainder of the match was filled with similar, grueling rallies.
