The pickleball community is buzzing with excitement as the Minor League Pickleball (MiLP) expands into Canada, spearheaded by Yui See Lau. This initiative aims to enhance the competitive landscape of the sport in the region, promising a more diverse and engaging pickleball scene.

In tournament news, the Carvana Mesa Cup presented by Proton has unveiled its draws, showcasing elite players from both the United States and Canada. However, the competition faces a shake-up as Tyson McGuffin and Dominique Schaefer have withdrawn due to injury and illness, respectively. The event is set to be fiercely contested, featuring deep draws and top-tier talent.

Major League Pickleball (MLP) is also witnessing significant player movements, with trades such as Daescu moving to Columbus and Devilliers heading to Phoenix. These changes reflect the dynamic nature of professional pickleball, where team compositions are constantly evolving.

Federico Staksrud from Argentina leads the men’s singles, while Anna Leigh Waters from the United States holds the top spot in women’s singles.
