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
Riley Newman
Riley Newman, from Whidbey Island, Washington, has won roughly 20 PPA Tour gold medals and 5 Major championships across an 85-medal career, reaching the world number one men's doubles ranking along the way. He won the 2021 national mixed doubles championship partnered with his sister Lindsey Newman, and the 2021 men's doubles championship the same year, splitting his doubles career between family partnerships and top-ranked pairings with players like Matt Wright and AJ Koller. Across 110 professional tournaments and 545 career matches, Newman has posted a 63.9 percent win rate, sustained specifically through doubles and mixed doubles play rather than singles competition. His combination of a former world number one doubles ranking and his 2021 national titles alongside his sister has made Newman one of the most decorated doubles specialists in professional pickleball history.
