At right is Chris Miller, a Washington state resident who has been the reigning mens open singles champion for pickleball in the last few years. I've watched a video on his playing, and can see why he is the best. He is also a high ranking men's doubles player as well. He enjoys playing doubles, but longs for the singles games where you truly put your own pickleball strengths and weaknesses to the test. Singles uses the same size court as doubles, but forces you to make all your shots count, not relying on a partner. Pickleball singles is definitely about proper placement, and shot selection.
There has been a cry amongst our men's group for more singles play, and Pickleball International is looking for a new day and location to practice singles matches. Stay tuned! But for now, take time every week to play a game or 2 of singles for a great cardio & mental workout.
