Bouchard headlines withdrawals ahead of Daytona Beach Open

Bouchard is withdrawing from women’s singles, women’s doubles (with Layne Sleeth), and mixed doubles (with Mota Alhouni) due to a personal matter.

Sleeth is withdrawing from women’s singles, but she is still set to compete with Ivan Jakovljevic in mixed doubles on Friday.

Ansboury withdrew from women’s doubles (with Nicole Conrad) after already withdrawing from Wednesday’s mixed doubles qualifying draw with Jhonnatan Medina Alvarez.

Main draw action kicks off from Holly Hill on Thursday with men’s and women’s singles. Tune in to Pickleballtv for live coverage beginning at 11am Eastern.
