Miami Pickleball Club Ready for MLP NYC: With the Major League Pickleball (MLP) New York City event arriving, all eyes will be on the Miami Pickleball Club (MPC). With only six out of ten Challenger teams advancing to the playoffs in November, Miami is poised to make a significant push. Here’s a look at the team’s new roster and their prospects heading into this week’s competition.
Miami Pickleball Club Roster
The Miami Pickleball Club features Eric Oncins, Milan Rane, Noe Khlif, and Bobbi Oshiro. Miami has been one of the most active teams during Waiver Period 1, making key additions that have already shown a positive impact. Their performance at the Mid-Season Tournament, where they reached the bronze medal match, highlighted their potential as a formidable contender.
Impact of Roster Changes
The addition of Noe Khlif and Bobbi Oshiro has been a game-changer for the MPC. Their integration into the team came at a crucial time and helped Miami make a strong showing at the Mid-Season Tournament. Although they lost to eventual champions Brooklyn in the first round, their subsequent performances were impressive. Khlif and Oshiro have been sharpening their skills against top teams in recent PPA tournaments, making them valuable assets for the team.
Strong Mixed Doubles Record
Eric Oncins and Milan Rane bring a strong mixed doubles record to the team, boasting a 10-2 record together. Their established chemistry and success on the court will be critical as the MPC looks to secure a playoff spot. Their synergy and experience in mixed doubles provide Miami with a competitive edge in their matches.
Looking Ahead
This will be the first regular-season event for the newly reformed Miami Pickleball Club, and expectations are high. With the new roster additions and their strong track record, Miami is expected to be a significant contender for a playoff spot by the end of the weekend. Their performances will be closely watched as they aim to solidify their place in the standings.
