Veolia Bristol Open Mens Doubles Draw: The Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour resumes this week with the Veolia Bristol Open, starting Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at the Bristol Sportsplex in Tennessee. The professional men’s doubles draw has been released, and matches will be broadcast live on Pickleballtv and the Pickleballtv App.
Top Seeds in Men’s Doubles
Ben Johns and Gabe Tardio are the number one seed in men’s doubles. They are expected to make it to the finals thanks to a favorable draw. Their top-ranked status and solid recent form make them clear favorites in the early rounds.
The second seed, Federico Staksrud and Hayden Patriquin, also have a smooth path to the semifinals. They could face the number three seed, JW Johnson and Andrei Daescu. This new pairing has drawn attention because both players usually play on the left side. However, Andrei Daescu is likely to move to the right.
New and Interesting Teams
Collin Johns and James Delgado are the fourth seed. Their ranking benefits from Collin Johns’ past success with his brother Ben Johns, but expectations for this new team are low. An early-round exit is possible for them.
Several other teams are worth watching. The fifth seed, Dylan Frazier and Noe Khlif, bring strong chemistry. Riley Newman and Jay Devilliers are seeded seventh and are always a tough challenge. Ross Whitaker and CJ Klinger come in at ninth, and the fourteenth-seeded pair of Augie Ge and Jack Sock adds extra excitement to the draw.
Looking Ahead
With a mix of established teams and new pairings, the men’s doubles bracket promises exciting matches. Fans are especially curious to see how the teams of JW Johnson and Andrei Daescu, as well as Collin Johns and James Delgado, perform.
The Veolia Bristol Open could shake up the rankings and show which new partnerships have real potential. With top players like Ben Johns and Gabe Tardio leading the way, all eyes are on Tennessee this week.
