Dekel Bar withdraws from Select Medical Orange County Cup due to illness
Dekel Bar has withdrawn from this week’s Select Medical Orange County Cup presented by Reign Storm due to illness.
He was set to be the No. 5 seed in men’s doubles with Dylan Frazier and the No. 7 seed in mixed doubles with Rachel Rohrabacher.
Lucky losers from Monday’s qualifying rounds will fill those now-empty spots in the main draw.
Even though he won’t be in action this week, Bar still figures to have a full summer schedule with the Brooklyn Pickleball Team scheduled to compete at four consecutive MLP events in San Clemente, New York City, Grand Rapids, and St. Louis.
Riley Newman, Brooklyn’s other starting male, will also miss this event with a lower body injury, so the health of Brooklyn’s men will be a storyline worth following ahead of next week’s Edward Jones MLP San Clemente.
