Anna Leigh Waters
Anna Leigh Waters turned professional at age 12, making her the youngest professional pickleball player ever, and climbed to the world number one ranking by 15 — a ranking she has since held simultaneously in women's singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, a feat no other player has matched at her age. As of January 2026, she had won 181 career gold medals and a record 39 career Triple Crowns, both the most of any player in professional pickleball, male or female, and she holds the PPA Tour's women's singles record with an 89-match win streak. Her career win rate stands at 93.6 percent across more than 872 matches, sustained largely by playing doubles alongside her mother, Leigh Waters, and mixed doubles for a stretch alongside Ben Johns during his own record-setting 16-title run with her. Her combination of 181 career gold medals and her record 39 Triple Crowns, achieved before turning 20, has made Waters widely regarded as the greatest women's pickleball player in the sport's history.
VS
Christian Alshon
Christian Alshon, nicknamed the "Tweener King" for his signature trick shots, was once the No. 1 ranked U.S. tennis player in both the boys' 16s and 18s age divisions before winning a Division III NCAA tennis championship at the University of Chicago and switching to pickleball in June 2021. He's since climbed into the top 3 in men's singles, men's doubles, and mixed doubles on the PPA Tour, backed by gold medals at the PPA Cape Coral Open and CIBC Texas Open singles events, including back-to-back singles titles in 2025. Alshon became the first player in Major League Pickleball history to win championships at both the Challenger and Premier levels, and he was the first overall pick in the 2024 MLP Draft, going on to play for the Texas Ranchers with a career win rate of 69.0 percent across 87 professional tournaments. His combination of a rare junior-tennis-to-pickleball transition and his unprecedented Challenger-and-Premier MLP championship double has made Alshon one of the sport's most distinctive rising stars.
