Thompson Proud of Pickleball Singles Performance
Justyn Thompson expressed his satisfaction with his performance at the Association of Pickleball Players (APP) Open in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he won the men's singles title.
Thompson had a strong start, winning his first three matches in the round robin, going undefeated in his bracket. He then defeated Eric Greene of the Cayman Islands 11-2 in the final to claim the gold.
Overall I felt pretty good and confident about playing in the tournament. I had mixed feelings because I struggle with training as often and don’t have the opportunity to travel and compete consistently like the average professional player.
Despite making a last-minute decision to participate, Thompson appreciated the support of his job at Baha Mar, which allowed him to practice on the courts and go to the gym.
