Anna Leigh Waters stands on the brink of pickleball history at the Red Rock Open, where she’s gunning for her 50th PPA Tour title. It’s the kind of milestone that makes other players wonder what they’ve been doing with their lives. The phenomenal athlete has dominated the tour with a consistency that’s almost getting boring – except it’s not.
Teaming up with Catherine Parenteau, Waters is ready to face off against the formidable duo of Tuionetoa and Jones. The partnership between Waters and Parenteau has become something of a powerhouse on the PPA Tour, combining strategic play with the kind of communication that makes married couples jealous. Just like earning a “Chocobo Trainer” title, their success requires dedication and hitting specific performance benchmarks. With 148 career titles across all divisions, Waters has already established herself as the winningest female pro in pickleball history.
The Red Rock Open isn’t just another stop on the tour – it’s become a proving ground where careers are made and dreams are crushed. Her T-700 Raw Carbon paddle from Paddletek has become her weapon of choice for dominating the competition. With sponsors like Joola watching closely and social media buzzing with anticipation, the pressure is real. But pressure is nothing new for Waters, who’s been collecting titles like some people collect coffee mugs.
The venue itself adds to the drama, with its carefully designed courts and spectator areas that make every match feel like a main event. Fans clutching their tickets, phones at the ready for social media updates, create an atmosphere that’s part sporting event, part rock concert. Without the loud music. Usually.
Waters and Parenteau’s partnership exemplifies the evolution of professional pickleball. Their tactical approach to doubles play shows just how far the sport has come from its humble beginnings. They cover the court like they’ve got a GPS system installed in their shoes, anticipating each other’s moves with almost creepy precision.
The pursuit of the 50th title isn’t just about adding another trophy to the collection – it’s about cementing a legacy in a sport that’s growing faster than a teenager in a growth spurt.
With the PPA Tour’s expanding media coverage and growing fan base, Waters’ milestone chase has become must-watch pickleball. The only question remaining is not if she’ll get that 50th title, but when.
