Anna Leigh Waters focuses on women’s doubles
Top favorite Anna Leigh Waters, still one of the biggest stars on the international pickleball scene, was unexpectedly knocked out earlier this week in mixed doubles. But her tournament is not over yet. Together with her mother Leigh Waters, she plays today in the quarterfinals of the women’s doubles. With her powerful baseline game and sharp reflexes, she remains one of the top contenders in this category.
Who to watch on the men’s side
With legendary player Ben Johns having withdrawn from the sport earlier this year due to a shoulder injury, the men’s field is wide open. Much of the attention is now focused on Christopher Haworth, who has reached the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles. Known for his explosive style and mental toughness, Haworth is considered a strong candidate for a potential double victory.
Other names to watch include Grayson Goldin, Armaan Bhatia, and the team of Wilson/Rettenmaier, who remain serious contenders. The next rounds will determine who takes the lead in this new chapter of men’s pickleball.
The road to the finals
In the coming days, it will become clear which players advance to the final stages of the tournament. With strong competitors in every category, the conclusion of this edition in Naples promises to be compelling.
