Significant sums from the 2025 APP Vlasic Classic - Cincinnati
1
The number of years since Grayson Goldin won his last men’s pro singles championship. He previously did so in Cincinnati in 2024, and an emotional Goldin spoke about the connection he feels to the Queen City after his win over Armaan Bhatia on Sunday.

There may not have been a triple crown in Cincy, but TWO was the magic number as five different pro players brought home deuces. Jill Braverman (gold in women's pro doubles & bronze in mixed pro doubles), Will Howells (golds in men's and mixed pro doubles), Jack Munro (gold in men's pro doubles & silver in mixed pro doubles), Megan Fudge (gold in women's pro doubles & silver in mixed pro doubles), and Judit Castillo (silver in women's pro singles & bronze in women's pro doubles). Don't get in line behind them at the airport security checkpoint!

The number of straight victories for Bobbi Oshiro and Will Howells in the mixed pro doubles event. The duo won gold in Sacramento, Fort Lauderdale and now in Cincy; but the buck stops here because the pair isn't scheduled to play together in New York.
5
The number of consecutive men's pro doubles titles for Will Howells and Jack Munro - the pair has won every gold in this event in 2025. They're eventually going to run out of hands for all that hardware.
