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

The Select Medical Orange County Cup presented by Reign Storm continues on Wednesday with Round of 32 action in all five pro events.

Here is the order of play:

 

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

 

  • Four men’s doubles pairings from Monday’s qualifying rounds picked up wins in the Round of 64. Here’s who each one beat, and who they’ll face on Wednesday:

 

  •      Frazier is fresh off a semifinal run in Atlanta, but the lefty Freeman has proven that he can compete with the best with victories over Connor Garnett and Jack Sock. He also made the semifinals in Cape Coral earlier this season. I think this matchup will end up being much closer than most would expect given the seeds.

 

  •      It is mind-boggling that this is a Round of 32 matchup. Schneemann/McGuffin have made deep runs at several tournaments together, and Fahey/Khlif have both brought massive improvement to their doubles games in 2025. I think this one is a true toss-up.

 

Action begins at 10am PT on Pickleballtv.
