🌎🏓 Pickleball just had another huge moment.

World No. 1 Anna Leigh Waters has been named to TIME’s inaugural TIME100 Sports List, recognizing the 100 most influential people shaping the future of sports. At just 19 years old, she’s featured alongside some of the biggest names in the world, including LeBron James, Lionel Messi, and Hilary Knight.

Think about that for a second...

A pickleball player is now being recognized on the global stage alongside some of the greatest athletes of our generation.

That’s not just a win for Anna Leigh.

It’s a win for pickleball.

The sport continues to grow at an incredible pace, attracting world-class athletes, major sponsors, mainstream media attention, and millions of new players worldwide.

Moments like this show that pickleball isn’t just a trend... it's becoming one of the world’s biggest sports.

Congratulations, Anna Leigh, on an incredible and well-deserved honour! 👏

💬 What do you think pickleball will look like in another 10 years? Who else will be on TIME's list? Will Water's get the cover?
