Full Results - USHA National Junior One-Wall Championships - May 27th-29th, 2006 - Dyker Beach Playground, Brooklyn, NY

Once again well over 100 players were in attendance for the 1 Wall Juniors. Mike Watson and MAHA hosted this USHA tournament at Dyker Playground in Brooklyn.

The third time was the charm for Jonathan Iglesias. Jonathan has been competing in the 19 and under for 3 years and this year not only made it to the championships but slammed in both the singles and the doubles. After pulling away from his regular partner Ron Flores in the singles finals Jonathan and partner Jurell Bastidas defeated Flores and his new partner Anderson Pelaez. Game one was very tight with Flores and Pelaez serving at 19-17. However they could not hold the lead losing 21-19. In game two under threatening sky with thunder and lightning looming Iglesias and Basitidas took a huge lead at 19-5 only to have Flores and Pelaez mount a charge. However it was too little and too late as Iglesias and Bastidas held on to win 21-14.

In the 17 and under doubles Danny Chan and Andres Vigo had the title in their grasp winning 10-0 in the tiebreaker but were unable to hold the lead. In the next service inning Chris Miranda and Andres Calle took charge of the game serving out to win 11-10!

Jon played great at the one-wall junior nationals. You were able to see the determination in Jon's eyes as he went for every ball. You also have to give credit to his opponent Ronald Flores for upsetting the # 2 and 3 seeds on his road to the final match. In the end it seemed that Jonathan wanted it more. The doubles matches were very entertaining. The semifinal match between Jon Iglesias/Jurell Bastidas and Tiankin Li/Sammy Nguyen had the best rally of the day with all four players diving and and making incredible gets. The other semifinal match was a nail-biter with Ronald Flores/Anderson Pelaez edging out Stan Zavoyskiy/Tyree Bastidas 21-20 21-20. 15 year old Tyree Bastidas held his own in the 19 & under doubles. Jon is eligible for the junior events at the 4-wall nationals but he will be 20 by the 3-wall juniors.
