Bengaluru Jawans triumph in inaugural World Pickleball League
Jack Foster dominates men's singles match
Katerina Stewart named Player of the League
The high-octane final saw Bengaluru Jawans face Pune United - the two teams that enjoyed contrasting yet rewarding journeys to the summit clash.
Jack Foster's dominant 26-8 win in men's singles set the tone, followed by Trang Hyunh-McClain and Alejandra Borobia's 13-9 victory in women's doubles. Pune fought back with William Sobek and Vanshik Kapadia's 15-6 men's doubles win, but Katerina Stewart's 21-9 triumph over Brooke Revuelta sealed Bengaluru's championship.
Reflecting on the victory, Stewart shared, "I'm super grateful and so happy--I still can't believe it's happening! These 10 days of pickleball in India have been absolutely crazy. I came here for the experience, and I definitely got that. Winning with my team made it even more special. There were tough moments, like at 5-5 today, when I was panicking a little, but I reminded myself to stay calm and control what I could--and it worked!"
