The APP put on a show under the bright lights of the Big Apple as champions were made at the 2024 Zimmer Biomet APP New York City Open. More than 1,400 players descended to one of the most prestigious settings in sports: the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, which was transformed into a pickleball mecca for its third consecutive year hosting the APP Tour.
Among the competitors were two of the biggest legends in tennis, as Ivan Lendl and Kim Clijsters returned to the site of the U.S. Open to showcase their pickleball skills.
The sport’s elite professionals battled for gold in front of national television audiences on CBS Sports Network and Fox Sports 1 (FS1), with seven champions bringing home the hardware and their share of a $150,000 prize pool. Megan Fudge earned two golds, Chris Haworth secured his third men’s singles title, and Mario Barrientos, Jack Munro and Yana Newell each earned their first APP Tour gold medals of 2024.
