Mesa Cup is 50% bigger than Cape Coral. At 1,500 points, this is where early-season separation happens on the leaderboard. Players who podium here will have a commanding lead heading into the spring swing.
The former tennis star shocked the pickleball world at Cape Coral, battling through the draw as a [7] seed to reach the women's singles final against [2] Kaitlyn Christian. Can she carry that momentum to Mesa, or will the field adjust?
Ben Johns and Gabe Tardio reached the Cape Coral men's doubles final as the [1] seed against [4] JW Johnson/Klinger. If they took the title, they'll arrive in Mesa as the clear team to beat. With 1,500 points on the line, the target on their back gets even bigger.
The [4] seeded Kawamoto Sisters reached the Cape Coral women's doubles final against top-seeded ALW/Bright. A deep run at Mesa would cement them as legitimate title contenders, not just dark horses.
The Cape Coral mixed doubles final featured [1] ALW/Johns vs [3] Patriquin/Bright. These two teams could be on a collision course again in Mesa. With 1,500 points at stake, expect even higher intensity.
February in Mesa means mid-70s, sunny, and bone-dry. Players coming from the humidity of Cape Coral will need to adjust quickly. The ball plays differently in desert air — faster, with less spin bite. Advantage: players who train out West.
Johns skipped singles at Cape Coral, leaving Hunter Johnson and Federico Staksrud to battle for the title. With 1,500 points available — the biggest singles prize so far — will he suit up? If he enters, the men's draw instantly becomes must-watch.
