2006 US OPEN Coverage – Men’s Semifinals

December 8th, 2006 by Geoff Thomsen

The Men’s semifinal rounds of the 2006 US OPEN Racquetball Championships truly set the tone for the finals on Sunday.  Rocky started out with a quick finish over Shane Vanderson, and many noticed that he seemed rested and ready for the match on Sunday.  On the other half of the draw, there was a blood bath that will not soon be forgotten in Memphis.  Jack Huczek and Jason Mannino played an INCREDIBLE five game battle royal that even had Shawn Royster dancing on the announcer’s desk near the end of game five.  Jason’s torn calf muscle seemed to be having little impact on his play, and his mental game seemed unshakable.

MS1 – Jason Mannino def. Jack Huczek (5,6,(6),(9),10)
MS2 – Rocky Carson def. Shane Vanderson (5,8,3)
