Federico Staksrud, who missed the Australia Pickleball Cup over visa issues, is back for all three events at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, Pickleball.com reports. In mixed doubles he teams up for the first time with Australian Danni-Elle Townsend, who has won seven international PPA mixed titles alongside Joey Wild.
Catherine Parenteau, who claimed her 55th PPA title in Virginia Beach, pairs with Noe Khlif, and Christian Alshon joins Yuta Funemizu in men's doubles a month after the two faced each other in an Arizona final.
