Alex Cardona is on fire! Currently No. 1 on the World Racquetball Tour (WRT), Cardona proves he is worthy of his rank by winning back to back titles at the Grace Warrior Atlanta Open and the Suncoast Open. This achievement gives Cardona six total WRT Titles. At the WRT Grace Warrior Atlanta Open, Cardona defeated No. 2 Jake Bredenbeck 15-6, 15-2 in the finals, after battling other pros like Samuel Murray (CAN), Christian Longoria (MEX) and Andree Parrilla (MEX). The WRT Suncoast Open was another tough event full of fierce WRT pros. To get to the finals, Cardona had to defeat top WRT pros like Mike Harmon (USA), Jaime Martell (MEX), Andree Parrilla (MEX). Once in the finals, Cardona faced third seeded, No. 4 on the WRT, David Bobby Horn, winning 15-12, 15-3. Cardona hasn’t always been on top. As a seven time Junior World Singles Champion, it seemed seamless for him to transition into a career as a professional racquetball player. For close to two years, Cardona was forced to abandon his hopes of playing pro racquetball due to the high costs incurred traveling to professional events to and from his home in Juarez, Mexico. With the creation of the WRT in 2012, Cardona was offered a second chance at rebuilding his dreams. Now, with the assistance of the WRT paired with the support of the Reaching Your Dream Foundation, Cardona is able to thrive in the sport he loves.
