The standard in women’s pickleball
World No. 1 across all three disciplines
Waters is the defining women’s player of the current professional era. The PPA Tour listed her No. 1 in women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles when this profile was reviewed, while Major League Pickleball named her its 2026 regular-season MVP and Player of the Year.
Her importance extends beyond the rankings. Waters helped push elite women’s doubles toward a faster, more aggressive style built around early attacks, powerful drives, quick counters and exceptional court coverage.
