CIBC Texas Open Women’s Singles: The PPA Tour CIBC Texas Open 2025 is set to take place from March 12-16 at the Courts of McKinney in McKinney, Texas, bringing together the top-ranked professionals in pickleball. With nonstop PPA action throughout March, fans are eager to see if anyone can challenge Anna Leigh Waters in women’s singles, as she continues to dominate the sport.
Women’s Singles: Another Dominant Run for Waters?
The biggest storyline in women’s singles remains the same—who, if anyone, can stop Anna Leigh Waters? The world No. 1 has been nearly unbeatable, dropping just one game to Brooke Buckner in Mesa before cruising through Cape Coral without losing a single game.
While it’s expected that she will eventually suffer a defeat at some point in 2025, predicting when and where that will happen remains a tough call. Waters is the clear favorite to storm through the top half of the draw.
In the quarterfinals, she will likely face the winner of #8 Zoey Chao Yi Wang vs. #9 Lacy Schneemann, and if she advances, she will likely meet #3 Brooke Buckner in the semifinals.
The bottom half of the draw presents a more open field. #2 seed Kaitlyn Christian faces strong opposition, with #4 Kate Fahey and #6 Salome Devidze posing the biggest threats.
Devidze, who returned to competition at Cape Coral after missing earlier tournaments this year, struggled at first but pushed Fahey to the limit in a hard-fought quarterfinal before falling in three close games.

Can an Upset Happen?
With Waters looking nearly untouchable, the focus shifts to whether any challenger can rise to the occasion. Players like Buckner, Christian, and Fahey will need to bring their best performances to disrupt Waters’ dominance. Meanwhile, Devidze remains a wildcard, with the potential to surprise the field if she finds her rhythm.
