Jack Munro collected two golds at the first Humana APP Louisville Open, the APP reports. He and Richard Livornese Jr. beat Zack Marceau and Aidan Schenk 12-10, 11-2 for a seventh men's doubles title in a row, and he won the mixed with the Netherlands' Roos Van Reek.
Croatia's Domenika Turkovic came back to beat top seed Kat Stewart 9-11, 11-4, 11-7, winning singles gold for a second event running after taking silver in both doubles finals. Ronan Camron edged Dusty Boyer in three games, and Bobbi Oshiro and Stewart won the women's doubles.
Análise Coachino
Seven straight titles show what a settled partnership can achieve. Turkovic's three finals reward a player willing to enter every event and keep learning against top opponents.

Kate Fahey left the Virginia Beach Open with two titles, Pickleball.com reports. She and first-time partner Eric Oncins won mixed doubles from 2-8 down in the third game, and she then beat the 21st seed, Helena Jansen Fink, 11-1, 11-9 for the singles crown, her first double at a single event.
Sofia Sewing earned her first PPA Tour title in women's doubles with Catherine Parenteau, while Elliott Schupp and Jaume Martinez Vich both won for the first time in men's doubles. John Lucian Goins took the men's singles without losing a game all week.
Análise Coachino
Three first-time champions in a week without the sport's biggest stars show how close the next tier is. Players chasing a breakthrough should treat open draws as real chances.

With several big names absent, Semifinal Saturday at the PPA Tour's Virginia Beach Open is full of fresh chances, Pickleball.com reports. In women's singles, No. 19 Sofia Sewing, who upset No. 2 seed Brooke Buckner in three games on Thursday, and No. 21 Helena Jansen Fink are each a win away from a first PPA Tour final.
No. 2 Noe Khlif and No. 7 Adam Harvey are chasing their first singles finals on U.S. soil, while Will Howells, Elliott Schupp and Max Freeman could make a first final in men's doubles.
Análise Coachino
Draws without the usual favourites reward players who prepare for every opponent. Sewing shows that a deep run can start from a double-digit seed when the chance appears.

Lea Jansen has pulled out of women's singles and mixed doubles at the PPA Tour's Virginia Beach Open with a broken left patella, but she is still playing women's doubles with Kate Fahey. The pair beat Daria Walczak and Alex Walker 11-2, 11-4 on Thursday and face fifth seeds Alix Truong and Layne Sleeth in Friday's quarterfinals.
The Dink's Erik Tice reported that the 34-year-old had played on the injury since May, through the Major League Pickleball season, until an MRI found it. Jansen expects about three months out and has left every remaining 2026 event.
Análise Coachino
A reminder for coaches: pain that lingers for months deserves a scan, not more matches. An early diagnosis can save a season that toughness alone puts at risk.

The Humana APP Louisville Open brings four days of pro, AARP 50+ and 60+, Humana Cup and amateur play to the Kentucky International Convention Center, with the PickleY'all festival outside on October 16 and 17.
Jack Munro and Richard Livornese Jr. arrive on a run of six straight men's pro doubles titles, and Munro's 8 golds are the most of any APP pro this year. Megan Fudge, who won in Overland Park with Kat Stewart, now shares the women's pro gold record of 33 with Simone Jardim. Coverage runs Friday to Sunday on APPTV's YouTube channel and ESPN+.
Análise Coachino
Club doubles players can take a lesson from Munro and Livornese: six titles in a row come from a settled partnership with clear roles, which often matters more than raw shot-making.

Indoor franchisor The Picklr has filed for Chapter 11 in the Northern District of Texas, FOX Business reports. An investor group led by franchisee Tom Neale has committed $4.5 million, pending court approval, although Sports Business Journal put the figure at $4.8 million.
Founder Jorge Barragan told SBJ the company had guaranteed leases for about 40 early locations. He said no club will shut because of the filing itself, though some contraction is likely. The Picklr has more than 70 U.S. sites plus clubs in Australia, Canada and Japan, and lost $4.4 million in 2025.
Análise Coachino
For club owners the lesson is financial rather than sporting: rapid growth backed by lease guarantees can strain even a busy brand, so know who carries the rent risk before signing.

Anna Leigh Waters won mixed doubles with Ben Johns to secure her 200th career PPA Tour title, then added women’s doubles and singles gold to leave the Chicago Cup with 202 titles and 45 Triple Crowns. Federico Staksrud and Hayden Patriquin won men’s doubles, while Roscoe Bellamy took men’s singles and qualifier Emilien Burnel reached the semifinals.
Análise Coachino
Waters’ milestone highlights sustained elite performance, while Burnel’s qualifying run and the men’s doubles upsets show how emerging players and pairings can reshape a tournament draw.

Support for pickleball courts far outweighs opposition among speakers taking a position at U.S. local government meetings, according to Hamlet. The public-meeting analysis firm counted 1,152 supporters and 89 opponents in meetings across 468 cities and towns since Oct. 19, 2024, with support leading in 436.
Fresno, Riverside and Maricopa were among places with many supportive speakers, while Port St. Lucie and Tampa had more opponents. The findings offer a wider view than coverage centered on noise complaints and neighborhood disputes.
Análise Coachino
For clubs pursuing courts, the findings document strong support among meeting speakers, not a survey of residents. Local differences remain important when discussing facilities with councils.

Hunter Johnson beat Tama Shimabukuro in the PPA Tour Asia Hong Kong Slam men’s singles final, after defeating Federico Staksrud in the semifinals. Crowds packed Kai Tak Arena for an event offering $1.1 million in prize money and 1,500 World Pickleball Ranking points.
Staksrud’s quarterfinal comeback against Hong Kit Wong drew controversy: an extended equipment timeout and a 1-point penalty for inappropriate language preceded his 12-10 deciding-game win. Anna Leigh Waters won women’s doubles with Anna Bright and mixed doubles with Ben Johns.
Análise Coachino
For athletes and coaches, the Staksrud-Wong match puts equipment readiness and on-court conduct in focus: both became central issues during a closely contested deciding game.
O East Coast Regional, em Fort Lauderdale, garantiu a 200 jogadores a inscrição gratuita no Pickle Money Ball National Championship. Os 4 melhores de cada divisão se classificaram para o torneio em Las Vegas, marcado para 26 a 31 de julho de 2027, com mais de 1 milhão de dólares em prêmios para amadores.
Realizado no The Fort, o regional reuniu mais de 550 competidores e ofereceu uma premiação total de 625.000 dólares. Os vencedores de cada divisão receberam 2.000 dólares por jogador, com pagamentos até a 16ª colocação. Foi o último regional de 2026 e o maior evento do circuito até então.
Análise Coachino
Para jogadores amadores, esse caminho de classificação oferece tanto prêmios em dinheiro quanto isenção de inscrição: Luke Schmidt transformou uma inscrição de 100 dólares em uma classificatória local em 1.625 dólares e uma vaga no campeonato nacional.
O St. Clair College Community Park, em Chatham, inaugurou uma nova área com 10 quadras exclusivas de pickleball, apontada como a maior instalação ao ar livre para a modalidade na região. A ampliação também inclui caminhos, banheiros, instalações para basquete e um parquinho infantil.
Segundo o Chatham-Kent Pickleball Club, as quadras abrem oportunidades para organizar torneios, sem deixar de lado o papel mais amplo do parque como espaço de uso compartilhado pela comunidade.
Análise Coachino
Novas quadras precisam de regras claras de funcionamento. Os clubes podem planejar com antecedência sessões para iniciantes, horários de jogo livre e reservas para torneios, garantindo que os usuários do dia a dia também se beneficiem da capacidade adicional.
A Beyond The Bounce anunciou que Zane Navratil criará programas originais exclusivos para a sua plataforma de mídia dedicada ao pickleball. A empresa também anunciou a ampliação do grupo de sócios e assessores, que inclui jogadores profissionais e executivos de mídia.
O site e os canais nas redes sociais já estão em funcionamento, enquanto os aplicativos móveis continuam nos planos. O anúncio apresenta uma estratégia de conteúdo, mas não comprova resultados de audiência nem desempenho comercial.
Análise Coachino
Clubes que consideram parcerias de mídia podem perguntar quais conteúdos, canais de distribuição e relatórios de audiência estão disponíveis hoje. É importante distinguir esses compromissos dos recursos ainda em desenvolvimento.
A USA Pickleball acrescentou 8 etapas da APP Tour ao calendário de qualificação Golden Ticket para o Campeonato Nacional de 2027. Os medalhistas de ouro nas categorias elegíveis terão prioridade na inscrição, enquanto os demais participantes poderão acumular pontos pelo sistema de pontuação por níveis.
A sequência começa com o Arizona e o Tour Championships ainda este ano, seguida por mais 6 eventos nos Estados Unidos no próximo ano.
Análise Coachino
Ao planejar a temporada de torneios amadores, os treinadores devem distinguir as vias de inscrição prioritária da elegibilidade por pontos e verificar as regras da categoria de cada atleta antes de reservar a viagem.

The APP says its first Humana APP Louisville Open, staged from October 15 to 18 alongside the PickleY'all festival, reached audiences well beyond pickleball fans. Every one of the five big local TV news outlets covered it, WLKY-TV acted as media partner, and Meltwater counted more than 157,000 mentions during the week.
A press conference with Mayor Craig Greenberg, the festival's ribbon-cutting and a free Shaggy concert anchored the publicity. Founder Ken Herrmann confirmed the tour will be back in Louisville in 2027.
Análise Coachino
Pairing a tour stop with a free community festival brought in civic partners and mainstream media. Clubs bidding for events can pitch the same mix to local sponsors.
A USA Pickleball anunciou a Cogir Senior Living como parceira exclusiva na categoria de comunidades residenciais para pessoas mais velhas. As organizações pretendem incentivar a participação no esporte e promover a convivência social.
A primeira iniciativa anunciada em um evento será um espaço de convivência para jogadores no campeonato nacional, em San Diego. O local permitirá que os participantes descansem e se encontrem entre as partidas.
Análise Coachino
Para clubes que atendem pessoas mais velhas, facilitar o acesso, oferecer atividades acolhedoras e criar oportunidades de convívio importa mais do que apenas anunciar um patrocinador.

Palm Springs planned a grand opening on Wednesday afternoon for its new $5.1 million pickleball complex at Demuth Park, NBC Palm Springs reports. The site has 22 courts with lighting, shade structures, seating and drinking fountains, and is part of a wider upgrade of the park, according to Mayor Naomi Soto.
The courts are open daily, 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., with one-hour reservations offered between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Funding came in part from Measure J, a sales tax approved by local voters.
Análise Coachino
Large public complexes with lights and reservations lower the cost of entry for new players. Local coaches can approach the city early about clinics and league time on the new courts.
Os números divulgados pela APP após o torneio em Louisville mostram os bastidores do evento, em vez de trazer mais um resumo dos resultados. A estrutura contou com 23 redes e 49.680 pés quadrados de superfície de jogo, enquanto o campo principal incorporou 218 módulos de LED. Esses detalhes evidenciam a quantidade de equipamentos e o trabalho de montagem necessários para realizar um evento profissional dentro de um centro de convenções.
Análise Coachino
Os clubes que planeiam eventos maiores podem usar este exemplo como base para uma lista de equipamentos. A disposição dos campos, o tempo de montagem e os sistemas destinados ao público merecem atenção, assim como o quadro de jogos.

Ed Ju has warned players about what he believes are counterfeit Life Time pickleballs, The Dink reports. In an Instagram post, he said a ball he switched to mid-session flew off his paddle and resembled an indoor ball, and that his own tests showed a big difference from a genuine one. At $6.50 a ball, he urged extra care with bulk orders.
The Dink notes his account cannot confirm where the balls came from. Fake paddles are already a known problem, and the UPA-A is coordinating a response across the industry.
Análise Coachino
Ball quality changes how a drill or match plays. Clubs and coaches buying in bulk should order from brands or authorised sellers and test a sample before stocking their courts.

At 19, Elliott Schupp has a first PPA Tour title, won in Virginia Beach with Jaume Martinez Vich, and Pickleball.com has traced how he got there. Burnt out after a decade of baseball, he first picked up a paddle at 12, playing with his grandfather in Arkansas, and spent two to three years reaching a 4.0 level before aiming for the pro game.
His grandfather capped him at two sessions a week early on to protect his enthusiasm and still coaches him, reviewing matches to find the patterns that win or lose points. Schupp now trains in Phoenix.
Análise Coachino
Schupp's path is a strong case for patient development. Coaches of young players can copy the formula: limited volume early, regular video review and goals tied to skill rather than results.

Gabe Tardio and Tyra Black each won two titles at the Australia Pickleball Cup in Brisbane. Tardio partnered Hayden Patriquin to win men’s doubles, while Black took women’s doubles alongside Jorja Johnson. Tardio and Black also combined for the mixed doubles title.
Hunter Johnson won men’s singles, with Andie Dikosavljevic taking women’s singles. Christian Alshon’s week included playing doubles with his social media manager and a heated verbal confrontation with Johnson in the singles final.
Análise Coachino
The Brisbane results highlight success across doubles disciplines: Tardio and Black each won with different partners before sharing the mixed doubles title.
Tradução em preparação; o texto em inglês é exibido por enquanto.
Gabe Tardio says joining Ben Johns in men’s doubles redirected his career—and brought nerves that initially held him back. Speaking on Pickleballers, he explained that he had been considering an Indian pro league and an overseas/APP Tour schedule before Johns approached him.
Tardio instead reached a PPA Tour deal. Their debut at the Mesa Cup in February 2025 ended with silver against Andrei Daescu and Christian Alshon. He said familiarity helped him regain his natural game; the partnership has since collected 19 gold medals and won more than 95% of its matches.
Análise Coachino
Tardio’s account highlights the pressure of a new partnership: he linked his early hesitation to unfamiliarity with Johns, and greater comfort to time spent playing together.

Sofia Sewing, Jaume Martinez Vich and Elliott Schupp claimed their first PPA Tour titles at the Virginia Beach Open, where several leading players were absent. Sewing won women’s doubles with Catherine Parenteau, while Martinez Vich and Schupp took men’s doubles in their debut partnership.
Kate Fahey captured mixed doubles with Eric Oncins and added the women’s singles crown, winning multiple titles at an event for the first time. John Lucian Goins won men’s singles without dropping a game all week.
Análise Coachino
New partnerships delivered titles in men’s and mixed doubles, while the depleted field gave emerging contenders opportunities to turn deep runs into championships.
Domenika Turkovic encerrou seu diário de atleta em Louisville com um título de simples e medalhas de prata nas duas modalidades de duplas. Foi o primeiro torneio em que disputou três finais.

Louisville's first PickleY'all festival opened on Friday next to the Humana APP Louisville Open at the Kentucky International Convention Center, WHAS11 reports, with courts indoors and out and free admission. The festival runs through Saturday with a pickling contest, food, live music and a Kentucky Science Center kids zone, while the pro event finishes on Sunday.
The APP's Tom Webb told the station that nearly anyone can get a rally going within minutes. Saturday's pro men's and women's doubles stream on APPTV and ESPN+.

The Humana APP Louisville Open puts mixed doubles on Championship Court on Friday, October 16, with APPTV coverage starting at noon Eastern. The tour’s viewing announcement adds a practical way to follow a week with several record chases.
In the pre-event standings, Jack Munro and Richard Livornese Jr. had six consecutive men’s doubles titles and were pursuing a seventh. Megan Fudge’s 33 women’s doubles titles matched Simone Jardim. Those figures describe the records entering Louisville, not results already achieved at this tournament.

Clubs can build a viewing session around a published start time while keeping pre-event milestones clearly separate from results that are still to come.

Maria Ford’s loud celebrations during her comeback win over Genie Bouchard at the PPA Tour Chicago Cup sparked renewed discussion about taunting and sportsmanship. Bouchard declined to tap paddles afterward, while Ford received no warning or penalty. Separate exchanges between Hayden Patriquin and Eric Oncins at the same tournament added to calls from some fans for clearer conduct rules.
Análise Coachino
The debate highlights the need for athletes, coaches and tournament officials to understand where intense celebration ends and sanctionable taunting begins under tour rules.
Luca Mack e Anouar Braham eliminaram Armaan Bhatia e Augustus Ge da chave de duplas masculinas de Virginia Beach em 15 de outubro. A vitória por 12–10, 11–5 garantiu a vaga nas quartas de final, onde os próximos adversários eram Elliott Schupp e Jaume Martinez Vich.
Wyatt Stone e Will MacKinnon também avançaram, com uma virada expressiva contra Roscoe Bellamy e Matt Wright. Depois de perderem o primeiro game, venceram por 5–11, 11–0, 11–4. Os registros oficiais dos jogadores confirmam os dois resultados apresentados no relatório datado das oitavas de final.
Análise Coachino
Os dois resultados oferecem pontos distintos para análise: fechar a partida após um primeiro game equilibrado e recuperar-se depois de perder um game são situações que merecem espaço nos treinos de duplas.

Sofia Sewing overturned a close opening-game loss to Brooke Buckner with an emphatic finish, winning 12–14, 11–1, 11–1 in Virginia Beach’s round of 16. Maria Ford also recovered against Milan Rane, 3–11, 11–7, 11–9, while George Rangelov eliminated Jack Sock 11–5, 11–6.
Friday brings quarterfinals across all five pro divisions. The official PPA announcement sets PBTV coverage for noon Eastern, followed by Tennis Channel from 2–5pm Eastern, giving viewers a chance to follow the next stage of these runs.
Análise Coachino
A scoreline can show the scale of a turnaround without explaining its cause. Coaches should use match footage before attributing these wins to specific tactical changes.
Braden Jacobson se recuperou da derrota no primeiro game e eliminou Matthew Finnerty em Virginia Beach em 14 de outubro. A vitória por 3–11, 11–2, 11–3 garantiu um confronto com Rafael Lenhard nas oitavas de final.
Maria Ford também precisou de um game decisivo contra Jalina Ingram. Ford venceu o primeiro, perdeu o segundo e terminou com força para fechar em 11–2, 9–11, 11–3, avançando para enfrentar Milan Rane. Os resultados oficiais dos jogadores confirmam os 2 placares apresentados na reportagem de Pickleball Surge sobre a fase de 32 participantes.
Análise Coachino
Essas partidas são bons exemplos para uma conversa sobre como se recompor entre games: perder um deles não precisa determinar a qualidade do seguinte.
Mya Bui e Luca Mack venceram Will Howells e Alix Truong por 11–2, 11–7 em 14 de outubro e avançaram nas duplas mistas em Virginia Beach. Os resultados oficiais dos jogadores confirmam o placar divulgado pelo Pickleball Surge.
Na estreia, a dupla havia superado Martin Emmrich e Estee Widdershoven por 16–14, 11–4. Assim, chegou às oitavas de final com vitórias de perfis diferentes: um primeiro game prolongado na estreia e um confronto bem mais curto contra Will Howells e Alix Truong. Os próximos adversários eram Layne Sleeth e Nicolas Acevedo.
Análise Coachino
Os treinadores podem comparar o confronto inicial apertado da dupla com o resultado seguinte para discutir como se reorganizar entre rodadas, sem presumir que o mesmo plano de jogo voltará a funcionar.

Anna Leigh Waters and Ben Johns are both missing from this week's Mojo Energy Pouches Virginia Beach Open, which leaves the PPA Tour stop unusually open. Pickleball.com's Jim Kloss blames the upcoming MLP Nations Cup and the Opendoor Pickleball World Championships for the thinner top end.
Kate Fahey and Roscoe Bellamy are the top singles seeds. Kloss expects No. 20 men's doubles pair Luca Mack and Anouar Braham to beat their ranking and calls mixed doubles the hardest event to call. Each pro title is worth 1,000 ranking points.

Zane Navratil has come out against any UPA rule limiting taunting or screaming, Pickleball.com reports. In an Instagram post, the pro said players should be free to show emotion and leave it to fans and social media to decide who has gone too far, adding that indifference harms the sport more than noise does.
He pointed to the NFL's unpopular taunting rule and to the UFC's trash talk, and described pros as entertainers rather than role models. Navratil also admitted regretting his own outburst at the MLP Playoffs.
