Mando Ortiz faced Paul Brady in an instant classic in the semifinals of the 2016 Houston R48. Ortiz had defeated Brady in the quarterfinals of the 2014 R48 Aces Player’s Championship two years prior and was aiming to end one of Brady’s dominant R48 streaks in Houston, as Brady entered Houston on top of his game, having won 9 of his last 11 Race 4 Eight starts. Ortiz was surging entering Houston and would become #1 on the R48 tour just nine months after this match.If you like flat rollouts, ace serves, incredible shot making, and high drama, this is a can’t miss classic!
