Significant sums from the 2025 AARP Open
1
Christine Maddox reached her first women's pro doubles Championship Sunday with partner Allison Harris. The duo finished with a silver medal!
Seone Mendez won her first APP Tour medal as she took bronze in the women's pro singles event. First of many, we hope!

Sofia Sewing added another two titles at the 2025 AARP Open. She won her 7th women's pro singles title and 2nd gold in women's pro doubles with Shelby Bates.
Jack Munro added another two medals of the gold variety to his trophy case in Fort Lauderdale. He won the men's pro doubles title with Will Howells and the mixed pro doubles championship with partner Megan Fudge. Does this guy ever get tired of winning? Nah.
Youssef Bouzidi won two gold medals in the Champions Division - he won the men's pro singles title and the men's pro doubles title with Patrick Cote. A great weekend in Fort Lauderdale for Youssef!
This is some text inside of a div block.
Allison Harris won a silver medal in women's pro doubles with Christine Maddox. The 2025 AARP Open marked Harris' third trip to the women's pro dubs final this year...all with different partners. Can we say VERSATILE?

Ammar Wazir won his third consecutive men's pro singles title in Fort Lauderdale. The kid is on a roll - can he make it four in Mesa, AZ?
Shelby Bates had never made a Championship Sunday the first three years of her career, but she has gone the distance in each of her last three APP outings. She won the women's pro doubles title with Sewing in Chicago, added two silvers in Columbus in women's pro doubles (Sewing) and split age (Cantillon Endara), and added another women's pro doubles championship with Sewing in Fort Lauderdale. Safe to say Bates is in her Golden Era!

Anna Shirley and Beth Bellamy won their fourth women's pro doubles title at the 2025 AARP Open. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
100
100 people participated in the AARP pickleball clinic on Wednesday evening - 91 players and 9 coaches. The clinic was one of the largest in the clinic's history. A round of applause for all those people trying new things!
