Pablo Tellez started playing pickleball in December of 2019 after randomly signing up for a pro tournament without ever playing pickleball before. After he went out and lost all of his matches, he decided to start taking the games more seriously. However, he played collegiate tennis at the University of West Florida and won the NCAA DII National Championship in 2017, so he picked up pickleball naturally. Tellez is a lefty and contributes his success to it, along with having crafty shots that have helped him find great success. 

When Tellez isn’t playing on the PPA Tour or for the MLP Brooklyn Aces, he is usually teaching it at his country club in Naples, FL or playing with his two german shepherds.
