The Kitchen Open Austin was said by many to be the “greatest tournament” they’ve ever played. The largest amateur-only tournament in Texas was a weekend full of amazing pickleball, perfect weather, some of the best brands in the world, and the greatest pickleball community known to mankind. Players battled it out to win the coveted Joola commemorative Champions paddle while the Open Division played for the largest prize in amateur pickleball history, $25,000. We’d like to offer a huge thank you to our headline sponsor, Shopify, who not only powered the tournament but also makes The Kitchen’s e-commerce capabilities possible. Also a big thanks to Liquid I.V., Reign Storm, Fat Tire, Plunge, Dulce Vida, Onix, Proton, Engage, Erne, Six Zero, Varsity Pickle, Motive Training, Wringer, Courtex, and Liquid Death for being amazing partners. Join us November 1st-3rd in Atlanta for ROUND TWO! ✌🏼
