The Professional Pickleball Tour recently made its way from Palm Springs to Phoenix for the 2024 Desert Ridge Open. Held at the JW Marriott Resort in Phoenix, this event marked the fourth time it has been hosted on the PPA tour. With top players vying to achieve triple-crown winning performances, anticipation was high.
The Desert Ridge Open is a '1000 level' event, which means it is a regular tour stop. While it may not boast the same draw as a major event, it still attracted top players. However, some notable names were absent, including the #2 doubles team of JW Johnson and Dylan Frazier. Nevertheless, the event maintained its one-event-per-day structure, making it easier for coverage and analysis.
