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.
VS
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.
