During the last #APP event, the tour tested a brand new fun event on Sunday 🏅.
16 men and 16 women were placed into four pods of four gender doubles. Each pod had a round-robin style event, with the two winners advancing to the next round. Every player played with and against every other player, with three games to 21 and rally scoring deciding the winners of each pod. It was exciting for fans to see different partnerships and matchups that they wouldn’t have seen otherwise 🤩.
