Molina and Martina Navratilova teamed to win the 1974 French Open mixed doubles title, beating Rosie Reyes Darmon and Marcelo Lara 6–3, 6–3 in the final.[3] Together with Florența Mihai, he reached the French Open mixed doubles final in 1977, losing to Mary Carillo and John McEnroe. The left-hander played 46 matches in the Davis Cup for Colombia from 1970 to 1979, winning 15 and losing 14 of his singles matches and winning 7 and losing 10 of his doubles matches. In 1974, he led Colombia to the Davis Cup Americas Inter-Zonal Final.
