The Queen of Pickleball Is Coming to Asia

At just 19, Anna Leigh Waters turned pro at 12 and has since rewritten the record books, holding the No. 1 ranking in singles, doubles, and mixed. Her story isn’t about trophies alone, it’s about the pure thrill of play that started in a backyard and grew into a global obsession.
When she steps onto that court in Vietnam, thousands of new players across Asia will feel it: the rush of possibility. That same spark is already alive right here in Singapore, where new courts are opening and communities are forming bonds that last a lifetime.
Her debut reminds us why pickleball feels like falling in love, the butterflies on your first dink, the laughter when a rally goes forever, the warmth of high-fives that turn strangers into family.
The Joy That Keeps Us Coming Back: Real Stories From Singapore Courts
Love stories born on the court: Couples who met mid-rally, shared their first kiss after a winning point, and now plan pickleball-themed weddings. One Singapore pair told us, “We went from strangers dinking to soulmates in six months, the court did the magic.”
Family bonds that grow stronger every game: Grandparents teaching grandkids (or getting schooled by them!), creating memories louder than any trophy. The laughter, the teasing, the “one more game!” that turns ordinary weekends into treasured traditions.
Friendships that feel like home: That moment when a group of PMETs, students, or retirees high-five after a match and suddenly realise they’ve found their people.
Singapore’s Perfect Timing, New Courts, New Beginnings
With the government announcing 50 new multi-purpose courts (eight already open at The Kallang and more coming at Little India, Queenstown, Hougang, and Punggol), there’s never been a better time to start.
The courts are ready. The community is waiting. And with stars like Anna Leigh Waters shining a global spotlight on Asia, your first game at Play! Pickle could be the start of your own incredible story.
