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.
