The top ranked professional Pickleball Women’s Singles Player in the world, 15-year-old Anna Leigh Waters, won her 10th pro singles title this month at the Professional Pickleball Association Riverland Open at the Riverland Sports and Racquet Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Her winning was not limited at the tournament either, as she took home the triple crown at the event – which is winning gold in singles, in gender doubles and in mixed doubles.
In January, Anna Leigh teamed up with Ben Johns, the highest ranked men’s pickleball player in the world in all three divisions (singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles), to play mixed doubles. They were undefeated going in and took gold in the championship this month as well.
Anna Leigh also played the Pro Women’s Doubles with her mom, Leigh Waters, and they also won the gold at the tournament. What a weekend for the Waters family.
Anna Leigh said she was going to celebrate the win with a big dessert. She earned it.
