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.
As 5 finais de Hong Kong estão definidas para 25 de outubro, a partir das 13:00, hora local. Bright e Patriquin venceram os irmãos Johnson por 11-2, 9-11 e 11-9 e vão enfrentar Johns e Waters nas duplas mistas. Nas duplas femininas, Bright jogará ao lado de Waters contra Black e Jorja Johnson.
Castillo enfrenta Dikosavljevic numa reedição da final de simples da Austrália; Shimabukuro joga contra Hunter Johnson nas simples masculinas. Johns e Tardio disputam o ouro nas duplas masculinas contra Staksrud e Patriquin em Kai Tak.
Análise Coachino
Bright será parceira de Waters numa final e adversária em outra, permitindo ao público comparar a sintonia da dupla com a capacidade de adaptação a quem está do outro lado da rede.

Seeds tumbled in Friday's singles quarterfinals at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, PPA Tour Asia reports. Noe Khlif beat world No. 1 Christopher Haworth 13-11, 11-3 after losing their two earlier PPA matches, and Judit Castillo again stopped top seed Kaitlyn Christian, this time 12-10 in the third game. Second seed Chao Yi Wang also went out, to Andie Dikosavljevic.
Federico Staksrud edged home favourite Hong Kit Wong in three games, and Ben Johns beat his brother Collin in straight games. Khlif now meets 15-year-old Tama Shimabukuro in the semifinals.
Análise Coachino
Two of the biggest names lost to players who had faced them recently. Scouting a familiar opponent and changing the plan can turn a losing record around.

Singapore's Sengkang Town Council will stop pickleball on courts close to housing blocks from November 1 and restrict the nine courts that remain to 10am to 7:30pm, Pickleball News Asia reports, citing an Instagram post by local MP Abdul Muhaimin. Residents chose the measures in a vote after noise complaints.
Other town councils have already acted, from a court ban in Holland-Bukit Panjang to foam-ball sessions in Mountbatten. The site cites more than 700 noise complaints in 18 months as monthly bookings approach 8,000.
Análise Coachino
Noise is now one of the biggest limits on growth in dense cities. Programmes near homes can cut complaints with foam balls, sensible hours and courts sited away from residents.

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.

Hunter Johnson is the men's singles champion of the WALKER Australia Pickleball Cup after beating Christian Alshon in three games, 11-8, 5-11, 11-8, in the last match at Pat Rafter Arena, Pickleball.com reports. He led the decider 7-0, watched Alshon move in front at 8-7, then finished the job on his first trip to Australia.
Andie Dikosavljevic, the seventh seed, beat Judit Castillo for the women's singles title. Gabe Tardio won twice, in men's doubles with Hayden Patriquin and in mixed with Tyra Hurricane Black, who also took the women's doubles alongside Jorja Johnson.
Análise Coachino
Johnson nearly let a seven-point lead slip in the deciding game. Coaches can use the final as a case study in staying aggressive when an opponent starts a run.

Championship Sunday at the WALKER Australia Pickleball Cup will feature a men's singles final between Hunter Johnson and Christian Alshon at Pat Rafter Arena, Pickleball.com reports.

The Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam draws are out, and PPA Tour Asia says the brackets bite early. Top seeds Ben Johns and Gabriel Tardio could meet eighth seeds Collin Johns and Len Yang in the men's doubles quarterfinals, putting the Johns brothers on opposite sides of the net.
Home favourite Hong Kit Wong is projected to face Federico Staksrud again in the singles quarterfinals after losing to him 7-11, 11-6, 12-10 in Hanoi in April, and Kaitlyn Christian may meet Judit Castillo, who beat her in Brisbane. Play runs October 19 to 25 at Kai Tak Arena.
Análise Coachino
Early meetings between top teams reward squads that start sharp. Players heading to big events should prepare for strong opponents from the first round rather than easing in.

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.

The first Borneo International Pickleball Open began on Friday at The Good Club in Kota Kinabalu, with about 536 players from Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, China and Taiwan. Permanent Secretary Datuk Josie Lai opened the three-day event, which ends on Sunday, October 18, and is run by Borneo Kelab Rekreasi Pickleball together with Megas Mind Creative & Development.
The club's nine courts, six indoor and three outdoor, cost more than RM3 million and opened only last month, director Ryan Chu said. Hong Kong celebrity Hugo Wong joined Lai for an opening invitation match.

For clubs, this shows how a new venue, tourism partners and an international entry list can launch a first-year event at scale, a model worth studying before planning a destination tournament.

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.
Tyra Hurricane Black e Jorja Johnson garantiram uma vaga nas quartas de final de duplas femininas do Australia Pickleball Cup, em Brisbane, em 15 de outubro. O registro oficial da partida confirma a vitória por 11–5 e 11–2 sobre Bernadette Massih e Talia Saunders.
O resultado coloca a dupla de destaque entre as 8 melhores, mas ainda não representa uma medalha no campeonato. Também traz uma atualização concreta das duplas femininas, ao lado da cobertura das duplas masculinas do evento. A fonte é a súmula oficial finalizada. A data informada aqui vem do horário de encerramento da partida exibido nesse registro, e não da publicação de uma notícia.

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.

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.
Ben Johns e Gabriel Tardio venceram a semifinal de duplas masculinas do Hong Kong Slam. Os resultados oficiais confirmam a vitória sobre Tama Shimabukuro e JW Johnson, com 11–7 no primeiro game e 11–6 no segundo. A dupla derrotada havia vencido nas quartas de final sem perder um game.

Enfrentar uma parceira habitual de duplas exige um plano de jogo diferente. Os treinadores podem ajudar as jogadoras a distinguir os hábitos dos treinos conjuntos das exigências de uma partida de simples.
Tama Shimabukuro avançou à final de simples masculino do Hong Kong Slam ao vencer Noe Khlif em 2 games seguidos. O registro oficial da partida concluída aponta 11–8 no primeiro game e 11–2 no segundo. Na rodada anterior, contra Grayson Goldin, ele havia precisado de 3 games.

O DUPR anunciou a JOOLA como patrocinadora principal, ampliando uma parceria que já inclui competições universitárias e um acordo de bola oficial. O anúncio também traz um benefício para compras: membros elegíveis do DUPR+ recebem um vale-presente de $30 para produtos JOOLA, enquanto a assinatura anual custa $19.99.
A oferta vale apenas em países elegíveis, mas o anúncio não informa quais são. A JOOLA já patrocina o DUPR College Pickleball Tour, e a JOOLA HC-40 é a bola oficial das competições organizadas ou homologadas pelo DUPR.
Análise Coachino
Para atletas que avaliam aderir ao DUPR+, o valor nominal do vale-presente supera o custo da assinatura anual. Ainda assim, a lista de países elegíveis continua sendo uma informação importante em aberto.
Vietname anunciou 8 jogadores para o China–ASEAN Open, em Guilin, marcado para o período de 30 de outubro a 2 de novembro. A lista divulgada pelo Dân trí inclui Trần Tuệ Ngọc e Nguyễn Đắc Tiến.

Separadamente, a autoridade desportiva vietnamita confirmou que está prevista uma competição com 32 equipas, com provas de singulares, pares e pares mistos. O sorteio ainda está por realizar.
Análise Coachino
Uma competição por equipas com 5 disciplinas exige preparação equilibrada e flexibilidade na formação dos pares. Para os treinadores, o planeamento é diferente do de um torneio exclusivamente de singulares ou de pares.
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.

The Global Pickleball Summit 2026, organised by RacketPro in Hong Kong from October 18 to 20, moved the conversation from growth to structure, Pickleball News Asia reports. Timed just before the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, it opened with social play and a session with pros such as Ben Johns, Anna Bright and Len Yang.
Panels covered growth data, education, sustainable facilities, national federations, youth curricula and technology, and one asked whether the Olympics should be the goal at all. Erika Von Heiland Strader, who leads the Global Pickleball Federation, said recreation drives participation while governance brings legitimacy.

Talk of curricula and youth pathways at a global summit signals demand for qualified coaching. Coaches who document their programmes will be better placed as federations set standards.
A Pickle Love Tour marcou a sua última etapa de qualificação no Reino Unido para o Courtside, em Stourbridge. Equipas amadoras vão disputar vagas na final em Itália. Cada equipa é composta por 2 homens e 2 mulheres, e o formato inclui jogos de pares masculinos, femininos e mistos.
O evento permite aos amadores locais tentar chegar à final de uma competição internacional por equipas sem terem de viajar para o estrangeiro nesta fase de qualificação.
Análise Coachino
O formato por equipas permite aos jogadores assumir diferentes funções. Os organizadores devem explicar as substituições e o sistema de pontuação antes do início dos jogos, para que os estreantes se concentrem em competir e apoiar os colegas.
Seine-Saint-Denis está a criar programas regulares de pickleball através de clubes, treinadores e escolas, segundo a federação francesa de ténis. 3 clubes já oferecem a modalidade de forma contínua, cerca de 12 treinadores concluíram uma certificação introdutória e aproximadamente 30 assessores pedagógicos do ensino primário experimentaram o desporto.
Em Aulnay-sous-Bois, as sessões semanais têm lotado ao longo do ano, reunindo pelo menos 16 participantes. O comité departamental também empresta kits de equipamento aos clubes, facilitando a organização das primeiras sessões.
Análise Coachino
Para os clubes, o caminho passa por ligar sessões de experimentação acessíveis, instrutores com formação e contactos nas escolas. Essa combinação pode sustentar a participação para além de um evento promocional isolado.
A USA Pickleball acrescentou 8 etapas da APP Tour ao calendário de qualificação Golden Ticket para o Campeonato Nacional de 2027.

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.

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.

Wednesday at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam went entirely to form, PPA Tour Asia reports, with every seed in every event reaching the round of 16. The nearest miss came from women's singles second seed Chao Yi Wang, who needed a 14-12 second game to get past Allyce Jones.
Christian Alshon and Noe Khlif, seeded in all three events, won every match they played. Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters began their Hong Kong campaign by beating Hannah Blatt and Grayson Goldin 11-3, 11-3 in mixed doubles.
Análise Coachino
A day without upsets shows the gap between seeded pros and the rest of a deep field. Rising players should study how the favourites close out matches without wasting points.
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.

Tama Shimabukuro will play for Team Asia International at the MLP Nations Cup in place of Vietnam's Hien Truong, the league announced on Tuesday, according to Pickleball.com. The report does not say why the change was made.
The 15-year-old joins Jack Wong, Rika Fujiwara, Macy Ybañez, Lingwei Kong and Jimmy Liong in Group B alongside Team Australia, Team Europe – East and Team Latin America. The new team event runs from October 30 to November 1 at Brookhaven Country Club, just before the Opendoor Pickleball World Championships.

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.

Hong Kong's own players made a strong start at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, PPA Tour Asia reports. Nok Yiu Tang beat fellow Hong Konger Kwan Wun Man 11-5, 11-0 in singles and won her mixed match with Eunggwon Kim 11-3, 11-0, while Hong Kit Wong came through all three of his first-round matches.
Brisbane champion Hunter Johnson needed three games to get past qualifier William Hsieh on his Asia debut. Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters were due to play their first matches of the week on Wednesday.
Análise Coachino
Local players winning on home courts give a growing market heroes to follow. Hong Kong clubs can use the momentum to fill beginner and junior sessions while interest is high.

Two of the six teams for the first MLP Asia season have introduced themselves, Pickleball News Asia reports. THE DOTS TOKYO, a venture between Japanese broadcaster TBS Holdings and dentsu Sports & Entertainment, will be captained by Yuta Funemizu and play the league's opening match in Japan, where the number of players is estimated at about 330,000.
The Viet Panthers, backed by Ascend Sports Partners, are led by Quan Do and include Tama Shimabukuro and Kaitlyn Christian. The season begins on November 13, and the first champion will be crowned on December 12.

Team leagues backed by media groups can create local stars quickly. Coaches in Japan and Vietnam may see fresh demand as fans who follow the teams look for places to play.
A Dinkeando noticia a abertura do espaço da Dreamfit em Coslada, perto de Madrid, com uma oferta expressiva de pickleball. A própria operadora informa que há 12 quadras, divididas igualmente entre cobertas e descobertas. A reportagem também menciona aulas e jogos organizados para diferentes níveis de habilidade.
Os preços das quadras não foram confirmados no artigo. Por isso, a capacidade anunciada pelo espaço não deve ser confundida com disponibilidade ou procura verificadas.

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.

New partnerships delivered titles in men’s and mixed doubles, while the depleted field gave emerging contenders opportunities to turn deep runs into championships.

Qualifying is over at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam, and PPA Tour Asia says one of the last places was earned the hard way. New Zealand's Conor Robertshawe lost his opening game 11-0, saved three match points on the way to winning the second 13-11, then took the decider 11-8.
Home players are in place for the main draw. Seventh seed Hong Kit Wong meets Chinese qualifier Zida Li, and Nok Yiu Tang faces fellow Hong Konger Kwan Wun Man. World No. 1 Christopher Haworth begins his Asia debut against qualifier Xirui Liu.
Análise Coachino
Robertshawe's escape is a lesson for anyone trailing badly: one point at a time still works. Juniors can study how he reset after losing the opening game without scoring.

Anna Leigh Waters' exhibition at 91 Pickleball in Petaling Jaya on October 17 left many fans unhappy, Pickleball News Asia reports. Attendees complained that the event was oversold, with a packed venue, long queues and little time with the world No. 1. One fan said she and her partner paid RM1,300 each for VIP packages and still had nowhere to sit.
Franklin Malaysia apologised the following day and promised a dedicated contact channel for affected ticket holders, but gave no timeline, described no remedy and did not respond to refund demands.
Análise Coachino
Star appearances can win new fans or sour them. Clubs hosting big names should cap ticket sales at real capacity and promise only the access they can deliver.
O British Army realizou o seu primeiro campeonato de pickleball em Surrey, após uma semana de aulas introdutórias em Aldershot. Segundo o The Pickleball Directory, a estreante Maddie Marsh venceu a competição feminina ao lado de Claire Curry.
Além dos resultados, a iniciativa inclui um sistema de formação desenvolvido pela Pickleball England para ajudar os instrutores de educação física do exército a ensinar a modalidade nas suas próprias unidades.

Os clubes podem ligar um curso para iniciantes a uma primeira competição num ambiente descontraído, enquanto formam instrutores capazes de manter as sessões após o evento de lançamento.
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.
Ao escrever após os jogos de domingo, ela reconheceu a contribuição de suas parcerias e contou que planejava voltar à Croácia depois de um longo período de viagens. O relato em primeira pessoa traz a perspectiva de uma atleta sobre como lidar com um fim de semana intenso de competição.

Bálint Gergő Bakó and Sabrina Méndez were the standout winners of the Pickle Pro Tour Barcelona Open, NacióDigital reports. Bakó, a Hungarian who lives in central Catalonia, beat Pep Canyadell in the singles final and won the men's doubles with Jorge Rodríguez. Méndez took the women's singles and partnered María Costantino to the doubles title, while Canyadell and Claudia Caymel won the mixed.
The season's final regular stop, mostly played at Shooter Club in Sant Fruitós de Bages, held over 300 matches for more than 150 players. December's Masters Final in Madrid comes next.
Análise Coachino
A Hungarian-born player settled in Catalonia winning near home shows how Europe's national circuits now attract international talent. Host clubs gain visibility, so a well-run local stop is worth the effort.

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+.

Pairing a pro event with a free festival turns spectators into players. Clubs hosting tournaments can copy the idea with try-it courts and a short intro clinic beside the main draw.

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.

When Federico Staksrud could not travel to the Australia Pickleball Cup because of visa problems, Christian Alshon turned to Benjamin Bramblett, his social media manager and full-time hitting partner. Bramblett, a left-hander who last played pro events years ago, and Alshon go back three years.
The stand-in pair won their round of 32 match 11-4, 11-2, took the round of 16 and reached the men's doubles quarterfinals against No. 11 seeds George Wall and Joey Wild. Alshon admitted expectations were modest after Bramblett's long break from tour play.
Análise Coachino
Solid fundamentals travel: a regular practice partner who knows a pro’s patterns can hold up at tour level, which is why a steady hitting partner matters so much in training.
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.

The Pickle Pro Tour's Barcelona Open runs from Friday, October 16, to Sunday, October 18, at Shooter Club Pickleball & Life in Sant Fruitós de Bages, the town council announced. Spain's official circuit, run under the national tennis federation, has already visited Gran Canaria, Málaga, Madrid, A Coruña and Mijas-Costa del Sol this season.
The event is the final stop before December's Masters Final in Madrid and welcomes players of any nationality. If rain arrives, Sunday's finals will move into the town's own sports facilities.

Noé Khlif foi anunciado como novo contratado da Arronax, segundo uma reportagem de 15 de outubro do Pickleball Actu. A publicação francesa cita a cobertura do Pickle361 sobre o anúncio feito pela marca malaia de raquetes em 11 de outubro.
A mesma reportagem observa que o perfil de equipamentos de Noé Khlif no PPA Tour ainda indicava JOOLA em 15 de outubro. Essa divergência reforça a importância de distinguir um anúncio de patrocínio noticiado de uma atualização no perfil do jogador. A cobertura disponível não esclarece o valor financeiro nem a duração do acordo.
Análise Coachino
Ao discutir patrocínios de equipamentos, os treinadores devem separar a parceria noticiada da adequação da raquete e consultar informações atuais sobre os produtos antes de orientar os jogadores.

PPA Tour Asia's dragon medal set comes to a head in Hong Kong. A 500-level medal forms the tail and a 1000-level medal the body, and this year the head is only on offer at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam at Kai Tak Arena, October 19 to 25, where reaching a final completes the set.
Seven players already hold a tail and a body, among them Tama Shimabukuro, who has seven 2026 titles, Australian partners Sahra Dennehy and Danni-Elle Townsend, Alix Truong, Hien Truong, Len Yang and Joey Wild.
Análise Coachino
Collectible milestones like the dragon give regional players a season-long goal. Club coaches can borrow the idea with tiered rewards that keep juniors entering events all year.
A previsão de chuva levou a Pickle Pro Tour a transferir os jogos do Barcelona Open para quadras cobertas, segundo a atualização da organização publicada pelo Dinkeando em 14 de outubro. O Club Shooter, em Sant Fruitós de Bages, disponibiliza 7 quadras, e o Vila Pickleball, em Sabadell, outras 4.
Antes de viajar, os jogadores devem verificar onde serão disputadas as partidas de cada categoria, especialmente se estiverem inscritos em mais de uma competição. A organização também anunciou que todos os participantes receberão o reembolso das taxas de inscrição após o torneio. Trata-se de um compromisso de reembolso, não de uma confirmação de que os pagamentos já foram efetuados.
Análise Coachino
Planos de contingência para torneios exigem mais do que quadras de reserva: definir claramente os locais de cada categoria e comunicar os reembolsos em tempo hábil ajuda os jogadores a ajustar viagens e horários.
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.

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.
