3 things to watch for on Wednesday at PPA Mesa

The Carvana Mesa Cup continues Wednesday with Round of 32 action in all five pro events.

Here is the day’s order of play:

 

Now, let’s get into what to watch for.

  • In men’s singles, No. 5 seed Connor Garnett and No. 35 seed Connor Mogle will face off for the second consecutive week. Mogle pulled off an 11-9, 1-11, 13-11 upset at last week’s event in Cape Coral, so Garnett will be looking to avenge that loss on Wednesday with a spot in the Round of 16 on the line. This will be the second match of the day on Grandstand Court.

 

 

  • In mixed doubles, No. 13 seeds Lea Jansen/Dylan Frazier will take on No. 17 seeds Callie Smith/Hunter Johnson in what projects to be a particularly high-quality Round of 32 clash. There’s added intrigue, of course, since Jansen and Smith will also compete in women’s doubles together later in the day. This will be the fifth match on Showcase Court 4.

 

Live broadcast coverage from the Arizona Athletic Grounds will begin at 11am CT on Pickleballtv.
