Number 1 will play number 2 Saturday night at the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Florida Regional Championships in Sarasota, Florida, where IRT #1 Rocky Carson will play #2 Kane Waselenchuk. Despite the rankings, Carson - not Waselenchuk - is looking for his first win this season, while Waselenchuk’s won four tournaments. But Waselenchuk has also missed four tournaments.
In last year’s Florida event, Waselenchuk beat Carson in the final, so that could happen this year, which would mean that Carson would not drop any points from this event. By reaching the final, Carson has successfully defended the points he earned last year. Thus, Carson should finish ahead of Waselenchuk in the season ending rankings for the first time in 9 seasons. Carson was the last player to be #1 at season’s end prior to Waselenchuk’s 9 season streak.
Carson got to the final by defeating IRT #4 Alejandro Landa, 15-9, 15-12, in one semi-final, while Waselenchuk beat David Horn in the other semi, 15-11, 15-11.
Look to the IRT Network, or the IRT Facebook page, for the final from Florida, which will happen Saturday at 7 PM Eastern.
