Anderson Scarpa, a 30-year-old native of Charleston, South Carolina, is a graduate of Mercer University, where he excelled in Division 1 college tennis.

His list of victories in doubles includes triumphs over renowned players such as Collin Johns, Pat Smith, Zane Navratil, Pablo Tellez, Rafa Hewett, and Brendon Long.
Anderson has also made his mark in the Major League Pickleball (MLP), representing two different teams, Arizona Drive and BLQK, across three events. With his leadership, both teams advanced to the quarterfinals.
Beyond his achievements on the court, Anderson is happily married with a 10-month-old daughter named Alivia.
