Landa & Iwaasa into WRT Fall Brawl final

Top seed Alejandro Cardona has successfully reached the final of the World Racquetball Tour's (WRT's) Fall Brawl in Lombard, Illinois, but on Sunday he'll face a surprise finalist in 7th seed Coby Iwaasa. Both Cardona and Iwaasa needed tie-breakers in the semi-finals to get there.

Cardona defeated Jake Bredenbeck, 15-1, 8-15, 11-3, in one semi-final, while Iwaasa beat David Horn, 10-15, 15-4, 11-5, in the other. It's Iwaasa's first WRT final.

Earlier on Saturday, Iwaasa upset 2nd seed Polo Gutierrez, 15-6, 15-10, in the quarterfinals, and Cardona defeated Juan Herrera, 15-2, 15-2.

Cardona has a chance to be a double winner Sunday, as he and Sebastian Franco are in the doubles final. They defeated Iwaasa and Roland Keller, 15-10, 15-5, in the semi-finals, and will face top seeds Horn and Cliff Swain, who were winners over Herrera and Jaime Martell, 15-12, 9-15, 11-3.

The final will be live streamed via the Gearbox website at noon CDT.
