Creating a fast and entertaining game with fierceness and aggressiveness, winning millions of hearts at the age of just 12 years, and earning the title of “Golden Child of Pickleball” is incredible. Let’s have a look at the journey to understand the BTS of her career. Ana tends to move quickly and force her way through points rather than slowly dinking and waiting for her opponents to make a mistake; this aggressive style has helped her gain a fervent following. When it comes to Mixed Doubles, Anna Leigh Waters often teams up with Ben Johns, JW Johnson, Kyle Yates, or Tyson McGuffin for the latter. She is also a formidable contender in Singles and mixed doubles. She began playing much earlier, and ever since then, she has dominated professional tournaments.
