She Broke The All-Time Record At 18 YEARS OLD 😮‼️🏆

On November 9th, 2025, Anna Leigh Waters stepped onto the court at the Jenius Bank PPA World Championships in Dallas, Texas with one goal in mind — and she delivered. Facing Kate Fahey in the women's singles final, Waters won 11-4, 12-10 in a tightly contested second game to claim her 168th career gold medal, officially surpassing Ben Johns to become the winningest player in PPA Tour history. All of this at just 18 years old.

But it wasn't just a singles title. Waters completed a full Triple Crown that day — winning women's doubles earlier alongside Anna Bright, and mixed doubles with Ben Johns — making it her 38th Triple Crown overall and third in a row. It was the biggest tournament of the season, worth 3,000 ranking points, and she swept it without dropping a single match. Anna Leigh Waters didn't just win a tournament that day. She cemented her legacy as the greatest pickleball player of all time.
