Welcome to The Dink’s Power Rankings, a new feature that we’ll roll out every Monday, spotlighting a different category each week.
Fresh off the PPA Mesa Arizona Cup, we’re following up on our Top 20 Men’s Singles Power Rankings with a look at the ladies’ game.
Note: These are a subjective view of the field. I am taking into account a variety of factors, including stats, recent form and the competitive landscape. Here are some factors used to determine the rankings:
- Recent finishes
- PPA Points – both total points (52 weeks) and the race points (just points in 2024)
- PPA seedings
- Head-to-head competitions
This is NOT a scientific algorithm or an AI bot making picks. I’m just a guy who watches A LOT of pickleball. With that being said, I am only including players who have recently played on the PPA Tour.
Please note: Both Irena Tereschenko and Yana Newell had great seasons in 2023, but I haven’t seen them play yet this year, so for now they are out of my power rankings.
