SO MUCH pickleball this weekend.
While the full @PPAtour is playing in St. George, Utah at the Red Rock Open, the first ever @ppachallenger event is finishing up today.
I alluded to it yesterday, but today it just became official! Helena Jansen, the newly drafted @RanchersPB, won herself a triple crown! 👑👑👑
In singles, she had to win 4 matches, and beat her opponents by a combined score of 92-43. She only dropped one game, and it was in the first of the finals against Julia Ronney.
In women's doubles, she played with Pierina Imparato (Chicago Slice), beating teams including Liz Truluck (Carolina Pickleball Club) and Ting Chieh Wei, and Mehvish Safdar (Utah Black Diamonds) and her sister Komal.
In the finals, they beat Ashley Griffith and Brooke Caruso (newly signed UPA player) 12-10, 11-1.
Today, in mixed doubles, Jansen played with James Delgado (Las Vegas Night Owls). They had to play 5 matches, and only lost one game.
IMO - Great start for the PPA Challenger Series!
