Now, let’s get into what to watch for:
- Pat Smith has withdrawn from men’s doubles with an injury. He and Roscoe Bellamy were set to be the No. 20 seeds, so now No. 16 seeds Hunter Johnson/Yates Johnson will advance to the Round of 16, where they will most likely face No. 2 seeds Federico Staksrud/Hayden Patriquin. The twins haven’t played a tournament together since the Kansas City Open in August of 2024.
- Staying in in the men’s doubles draw, there are several notable first-time partnerships that will take the court in Bristol. Those include No. 5 seeds Noe Khlif/Dylan Frazier, No. 4 seeds James Delgado/Collin Johns, No. 3 seeds Andrei Daescu/JW Johnson, No. 8 seeds Eric Oncins/Pablo Tellez, and No. 11 seeds Tyson McGuffin/Max Freeman. Those last two pairings could face off in the Round of 16, if they both make it that far.
- In the women’s doubles draw, Catherine Parenteau and Rachel Rohrabacher are taking a tournament off as a partnership after playing together in Atlanta and San Clemente. Parenteau is teaming up with Jackie Kawamoto this week, while Rohrabacher is joining forces with Jorja Johnson. This will be Rohrabacher/Johnson’s first time playing together since the 2024 Las Vegas Cup, where they took bronze. The No. 2 seeds will be looking for more in Tennessee.
Live broadcast coverage from Bristol Sportsplex begins at 11am ET on Pickleballtv.
