Canada knew it wouldn&#8217;t be an easy task since Bolivia won both Pan Am gold and silver in men&#8217;s singles earlier in the week.\u00a0<\/p><p>Iwaasa was up first in a match against singles silver medalist Carlos Keller that went back and forth before finishing in a tie breaker with scores of 11-7, 5-11, 11-7, 7-11, 13-11. Iwaasa had Keller on the ropes, but was unable to come up with the win.<\/p><p>Murray then played Conrrado Moscoso, who is the 2023 Pan American Games singles champion. It was tough match for Murray, who couldn&#8217;t seem to catch a break. Each tine he gained ground, Moscoso had an answer. Moscoso ended up winning in three games with scores of 11-5, 11-9, 11-2.\u00a0<\/p><p>You can watch the match on the Panam Sports Channel at the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gsadzWKdjaI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-link-type=\"web\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gsadzWKdja<\/a>I<\/p><p>Our team is departing Bolivia tonight and will be home on Saturday.
