PPA historical stats: Anna Leigh Waters cruises past old women's records
Have you ever wondered what some of the "old" PPA records were before Anna Leigh Waters obliterated them?
Like in baseball... Roger Connor finished his career with 138 home runs, then Babe Ruth blew by him and went up to 714.

Here's a quick look at the progression of some women's historical records:
SINGLES
-
Simone Jardim had six titles, all in 2020 and 2021.
-
Waters earned her seventh at the National Indoor Championships in February 2022. Waters arrived at Daytona with 57 singles titles.
DOUBLES
-
Simone Jardim had 14 through the Texas Open in September 2021.
-
Lucy Kovalova passed Jardim with her 15th title at the Arizona Slam in February 2022, and ran her total up to 21 at Newport Beach in April 2023.
-
Waters earned her record-breaking 22nd title at the Takeya Showcase in August 2023. She arrived at Daytona with 55 women's doubles titles.
MIXED DOUBLES
-
Simone Jardim earned her 12th and final mixed doubles title at the Rocky Mountain Championships in August 2021.
-
Waters passed Jardim with her 13th title at the Hertz National Championships in December 2022. She arrived at Daytona with 59 Mixed Doubles titles.
The previous records were 6 (singles), 21 (doubles) and 12 (mixed doubles) before Waters passed them and ran her totals into the 50s in all three categories, and of course, she's not done yet.
A "Ruthian" feat, for sure.
