David Horn won his first World Racquetball Tour (WRT) event Sunday by defeating fellow American Jake Bredenbeck, 15-9, 15-2, in the final of the WRT San Luis Open in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Afterwards Horn spoke of how he didn’t try to match Bredenbeck’s power, taking a bit off of his serves hoping that it would put Bredenbeck’s timing off. The strategy worked.
It worked so well Horn didn’t need a third game to win the final, although he’d played three games in each of his first three matches in San Luis, including knocking off 2nd seed Alejandro Cardona in the semi-finals.
Bredenbeck had a tough Sunday, as he also lost the doubles final with Sebastian Franco to Edson Martinez and Gilberto Mejia.
The WRT website has the next tournament as this coming weekend - August 20-22 - in Chihuahua, Mexico, but on the webcast it was stated that the next event is the Atlanta Open September 11-13, so we’ll see what happens.
