Chicago PPA @ppatour was 🔥. It was so cool to have the PPA come to my home town at the beautiful Lifetime Northshore. Enjoyed playing pro mixed with @armaanjm_pb, we played well for our first time partnership and lost to the OG @kyleyates.pb. Couldn’t have wished for a better partner for pro doubles, thanks @emmawangaroo for playing with me, sadly I didn’t play my best and we lost to our friends @sabrinapalavra.pb and @mkwashelesky. Pro qualifier results weren’t what I had hoped for but I’m learning and improving. For @junior.ppa, played in the U18 divisions. Got silver🥈in singles and was proud of my performance; congrats to @carolinegraceinkc and @eliana.ling7 who played really well and fought for every point. For doubles, I partnered up with my girl @rose.schneider.pb. It took us a bit to find our groove and unfortunately we didn’t make the playoffs. Junior mixed day did not disappoint, @ryderbrown_pickleball and I went undefeated all day and took gold 🥇. Huge thanks to Sabrina and Andy for sitting on my bench and coaching me up! Loved seeing all my pickleball friends and hanging out with them - shoutout to @lincolnb.pb and @ellaohpb. Grateful to all my followers, well wishers and sponsors for the love and support 💕. Now back to the grind and excited for PPA Worlds in Dallas in a couple weeks! by @ariana.pb

Spent a few unforgettable days in India 🇮🇳 with my dad’s side of the family before heading to Vietnam for the Pickleball World Cup! 🏓🌏

Started off in beautiful Goa 🌴🌊 — taking in the Arabian Sea, exploring the beaches, and eating some seriously amazing seafood. Then made our way to Bombay, soaking in the hustle and bustle, enjoying the mouthwatering food and street eats, and checking out iconic spots like the Gateway of India, Taj Mahal Palace, Nariman Point, Bandstand, and Juhu Beach.

From riding around in auto rickshaws 🛺 to sipping fresh sugarcane juice and eating our way through the city, Bombay was an experience! Loved the Bollywood vibe too — cruising past the homes of some of India’s biggest stars and seeing the incredible Antilia in person. ✨ And of course, I couldn’t leave without shopping for ethnic clothes… let’s just say I may have bought enough to fill another suitcase. 😂🛍️

But the best part was getting to spend time with my grandparents, cousins, aunt and uncle, and reconnecting with family. ❤️

India, you were special. 🇮🇳✨ by @ariana.pb
