Rain Cuts Saturday Short

by JB Jones on

DJ Young and Mario Barrientos were gearing up for a shot at gold when Mother Nature decided to crash the party. Following the men's bronze medal match where Young Barrientos defeated Altaf Merchant/John Cincola, rain clouds moved in and doused the courts.

Zane Navratil and Andrei Daescu won the winner's bracket and were also awaiting the final match. All four players came to an agreement that they did not want the match postponed until tomorrow so the gold was awarded to Navratil and Daescu.
