Veolia Bristol Open Women’s Singles Draw: The PPA Tour picks back up this week in Tennessee with the Veolia Bristol Open starting on Wednesday, August 6, at the Bristol Sportsplex. With Anna Leigh Waters not competing in women’s singles, the title is open for a new winner. Live coverage will be available on Pickleballtv and the Pickleballtv App.
Top Seed Faces Early Challenge
Kaitlyn Christian holds the number one seed, but her first match may not be easy. She could face number 25 seed Jalina Ingram in the Round of 32. Jalina Ingram is a strong singles competitor and could pose a serious challenge early on.
Even if Kaitlyn Christian wins her opener, her side of the draw is filled with experienced and dangerous players. She may have to face number 4 seed Lea Jansen, number 6 seed Zoey Wang, and number 7 seed Salome Devidze as the rounds progress.
Parris Todd Leads Other Half of the Draw
On the opposite side of the bracket, number 2 seed Parris Todd leads the competition. She has a smoother path to the later rounds but could face a major test in the semifinals.
That match could be against the winner of a quarterfinal between number 3 seed Brooke Buckner and number 5 seed Catherine Parenteau. Both of these players are highly skilled and capable of a deep run.
Possible Breakout Performance
One lower-seeded player to watch is number 30 seed Victoria DiMuzio. She has the potential to go further than expected if she plays well early.
Wide Open Competition
With Anna Leigh Waters not in the field, the women’s singles event at the Veolia Bristol Open is anyone’s to win. The tournament setup makes it likely that fans will see some tight matches and possible upsets throughout the week. Viewers can catch every match live on Pickleballtv and its official app.
