Boca Raton Pickleball Tournament

The 2022 APP Boca Raton Masters tournament was held at the beautiful Patch Reef Park Tennis and Pickleball Center at 2000 NW 51st St., Boca Raton, FL 33431. This venue features six outdoor pickleball courts but will soon boast four more due to the success of tournaments like the APP Masters. 

Dates & Broadcasting

The event took place from January 18th through the 22nd and was the first event of the APP tournament tour. Fans unable to attend were able to catch the live stream on USA Pickleball’s Youtube Channel, which switched over to a live ESPN+ broadcast for the gold medal events. Highlights and game replays can still be found on YouTube.  

Prize Money & Set-Up

$30,000 was the total prize money won at the tournament. There were multiple skill and age divisions and medal matches were best two out of three. This tournament also adopted the “Championship Sunday” concept that the Professional Pickleball Association is known for, except they also played Bronze matches on Sunday as well.

There was a great turnout in terms of competitors. Every event was full before the end of the registration. Big names such as Hunter Johnson and Parris Todd also made an appearance. Though not many fans could come out to the venue, thousands watched the live streams and broadcasts. 

There were tons of gold medals given out at the 2022 APP Boca Raton Masters since both amateur and pro games were further divided into age groups in addition to the typical men’s, women’s, doubles, and single’s designations. Additionally, the amateur games also had skill-level designations creating more than 100 total brackets. However, here are the results of the six most-followed brackets.

Men’s Pro Doubles

As expected, Rob Nunnery and Greg Dow won gold in the Men’s Pro Doubles, giving Joey Farias and Andreas Siljestrom the silver medal. 

Men’s Pro Singles

Yates Johnson was favored to win the Men’s Pro Singles, who then held up to expectations and clinched the gold medal. 

Mixed Pro Doubles

Hunter Johnson won another gold medal at the Boca Raton APP Masters in the Mixed Pro Doubles event with partner Parris Todd. 

Women’s Pro Doubles

Parris Todd and Milan Rane were favored to win the Women’s Pro Doubles division. Of course, they pulled through for gold, leaving silver to Megan Fudge and Lee Whitwell

Women’s Pro Singles

Salome Devidze claimed gold in the Women’s singles event, while Megan Fudge got silver and Amanda Hendry won bronze.

While you might have missed the 2023 APP Boca Raton Masters, it is likely that we will see another tournament here next year, especially since the venue is adding new pickleball courts. Advertisement and registration should begin sometime in October 2023 in preparation for an early 2024 tournament date. In the meantime, catch the APP Atlanta Metro Open in September, another USA Pickleball National Championship Series Tournament.
