CAC Games 2023: Britton advances to Singles’ Round of 16

Guyana’s Shemar Britton has had a flawless outing on Saturday, and has secured his passage to the Round of 16 in the Men’s Singles event at the ongoing Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games.
Coming up against Haiti’s Olivier Guerrier, Britton won the Round of 32 matchup in four sets: 11-7, 11-7, 11-9, 11-8. However, the other Guyanese players competing in the Round of 32 Singles’ category were not as fortunate.
Still in the Men’s division, Jonathan Van Lange met Puerto Rico’s Daniel Gonzalez and showed promise in the first set. However, the Puerto Rican prevailed as follows: 13-11, 11-6, 11-3, 11-5.
And in the Women’s category, Olympian Chelsea Edghill fought valiantly but went down 4-1 to Mabelyn Enriquez. The Guyanese won the first set 11-6, but Enriquez bounced back to take the next four sets on the trot: 11-7, 11-9, 13-11, 11-6.
Priscilla Greaves also went down to Mexico’s Clio Barcenas 11-8, 11-3, 11-3, 11-5.
