Eduardo Santini Ayon began playing pickleball in February 2023 and was hooked from the first time he stepped on the court. Within his first month of playing, he set his sights on becoming a professional and committed himself to training five to six hours a day.

That dedication quickly began to pay off as Santini Ayon improved his game, earned stronger results, and worked his way into higher-level competition. He now competes alongside Joel Poland, his longtime partner and “twin,” as he continues to build his professional pickleball career.
