4 things to watch for on Thursday at the Select Medical Orange County Cup

The Select Medical Orange County Cup presented by Reign Storm continues on Wednesday with Round of 16 action in all five pro events.

Here is the order of play:

 

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

 

 

 

  This matchup pits Team Utah (Smith/Jones) against Team Las Vegas Night Owls (Wang/Buckner). Smith and Jones are among the steadiest players in pickleball and both consistently make deep runs with each other and other partners. Wang/Buckner have the power advantage here and have come close to knocking off top women’s doubles teams like Anna Bright/Rachel Rohrabacher. Don’t be surprised to see this one go three.

Action begins at 10am PT on Pickleballtv.
