Catherine Parenteau
Catherine Parenteau played Division I college tennis, first recruited by the University of Arkansas before transferring to Michigan State, and was introduced to pickleball in October 2016 by her former tennis coach, Simone Jardim — just six months before she was already competing in, and winning the 5.0 mixed bracket at, the US Open. She has since won 53 career PPA Tour gold medals, two career Triple Crowns, three US Open titles, and two National Championships, ranking her as the second most decorated woman in professional pickleball behind only Anna Leigh Waters. Parenteau also captains the LA Mad Drops in Major League Pickleball's team format, helping lead the franchise to an MLP Championship title alongside her individual PPA Tour career. Her combination of 53 career gold medals and her rapid rise from a six-months-in US Open bracket win to the sport's second-most decorated woman has made Parenteau one of the most significant players in pickleball's professional era.
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.
