The PPA Tour is back in action after a weekend off! This is the first time the PPA Tour has visited the Lake Kennedy Racquet Center. The facility is run by the city of Cape Coral and has 32 permanent pickleball courts and 12 tennis courts (I assume these will be temporarily converted to pickleball for the tournament).
This is an Open level tournament, which means 1,000 PPA Points are on the line for the winners of each event. Additionally, this is more of a “traditional” draw:
- Wednesday – qualifiers
- Thursday – singles
- Friday – mixed doubles
- Saturday – gender doubles
- Sunday – Championship Sunday
(p.s we just landed a deal with Midwest Racquet Sports because we think they have the best assortment of pickleball shoes on the internet. Use code “THEDINK” to save 10%. They are worth checking out)
Weather Outlook
The only day that may have rain is Championship Sunday, which is something to watch out for. The other problem I think the players are going to deal with is wind. The wind is supposed to be in double digits on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Thursday is supposed to be as high as 17mph. This will be a big part of the conversation throughout the tournament.
