WPH Icebreakers #8: 3-Wall Small Ball Pro Singles
The WPH is proud to present the WPH Icebreaker #8, the eighth official WPH 3-Wall Singles Icebreakers since September of 2020.
“We want to show people that we can safely hold events with all of the COVID protocols in place,” stated WPH Executive Director David Vincent. “We allow a limited number of socially distant fans, while ensuring the players are distanced as much as possible. The Icebreaker is our way of “breaking the ice” during the pandemic and reintroducing pro handball to the world.”
The WPH Icebreaker #8 featured men’s stars Sean Lenning, Killian Carroll, Luis Cordova, David Fink, Abraham Montijo, Shorty Ruiz, Leo Canales, Jr., and Dylan Hernandez in one of the best 3-Wall draws in history competing at Tucson’s Clark Park in Tucson. The field shrunk to four, as Lenning and Fink advanced in the upper bracket and Ruiz and Carroll advanced in the bottom bracket.
Men’s Semifinal #2: Shorty Ruiz vs. Killian Carroll
Shorty Ruiz entered his third Icebreaker in search of his first title, having lost in the finals of his first two Icebreaker appearances. Killian Carroll has held the Race 4 Eight #1 ranking since the spring of 2017, but had never entered a major 3-Wall event. Would Ruiz’s lifetime of 3-Wall experience and success be enough to overcome Carroll’s 3-Wall inexperience, or would Carroll’s fitness and adaptability prevail against the 3-Wall wizard?
