Interview: 2019 Tournament of Champions Women's Doubles Pro Gold Medal Award Presentation


2019 Tournament of Champions Women's Doubles Pro Gold Medal Award Presentation

What is your experience to be able to use Pickleball as a way for you guys to strengthen your relationship and spend time together?

Leigh Waters: It's really cool because I support her in soccer and that is just her. But, this is together and we are sharing every moment and my mother travels with us everywhere and it is just memories that we will just never forget!

Anna Leigh Waters: “I agree. I love playing with my Mom because she is a great player, she gives me a lot of confidence, and she calms my nerves when she can sense that it is affecting my play. Because we are mother and daughter, we can anticipate each other’s shots and we move together very well. Winning a major at TOC was awesome, but the best part about it was winning it with my Mom.”
