Okay, earlier than everybody works themself right into a tizzy, let’s all take a beat.
Sure, a membership in Boca Raton, Florida, posted a video immediately exhibiting what was positively Anna Leigh Waters swinging what definitely seemed to be a Franklin paddle carrying what was virtually positively a smattering of Nike attire, together with a very fly pair of Nike Zoom Problem pickleball sneakers within the “Topaz Gold/Blue Hero/White/Topaz Gold” colorway. Very good.
The one actual information right here is that we now have a considerably grainy image of what ALW’s pickleball future might appear like. And it seems good.
And I emphasize “might” as a result of her new deal will not be but finalized. We have now that on excellent authority.
And if the brand new, virtually positively multi-year paddle and attire offers of professional pickleball’s brightest younger star have been, actually, able to be introduced, that positively wouldn’t be coming by the hands of a random nation membership in Boca (no offense, although, your premises look beautiful).
No. By all accounts, ALW remains to be within the testing phases and nothing has been finalized.
So let’s all pause and admire this for what it’s:
- Franklin and Nike are most likely frontrunners at this level, given PPA Masters is arising and it appears seemingly this announcement will occur earlier than then
- The Polo Membership of Boca Raton most likely noticed Anna Leigh Waters practising along with her doubles companion Anna Shiny towards two prime APP execs – Tanner Tomassi and Richard Livornese Jr. – and thought, “That is superior, we must always submit about it.” They usually have been proper, so that they did, besides it simply so occurred to be the worst timing within the historical past of presumably innocent social media posts
- The since-deleted submit was first noticed by our professional author Erik Tice, who posted it to X and commenced this entire firestorm – Erik was simply doing his job; do not blame Erik
To recap:
- Is Anna Leigh Waters positively signing with both Franklin or Nike? Nope.
- Does she appear like a stone-cold badass rocking their gear, even in a grainy still-shot? She most definitely does.
