Anna Bright and Anna Leigh Waters defeated Catherine Parenteau and Sofia Sewing 11‑4, 11‑9, 11‑5 in the women’s doubles final of the Opendoor Pickleball World Championships, claiming their 18th consecutive tournament title as a pair. The run is the longest streak in all PPA Tour doubles history, across women’s, men’s and mixed.

A record tested in the middle game

The final, played in Farmers Branch, Texas, pitted the No. 1 seeds against the No. 5 seeds. Parenteau and Sewing pushed the second game to 11‑9, the closest they came to the title on a day when the streak was squarely on the line.

“We've really been coming together and trusting each other in those big moments,” Bright told reporters afterwards.

Eighteen tournaments, one unbroken chain

The streak covers every tournament the pair has entered together, a run ThePickleHub judges to be different in kind from earlier dominant stretches that ended through partner changes, injuries or a rising rival.

The win was their 28th career title together and their fifth this season, and it secured a second consecutive women’s doubles gold medal at the World Championships. Waters completed her 46th career Triple Crown at the same tournament and earned her 300th tour‑level singles victory.

Daytona Beach already measuring the gap

The Daytona Beach Open begins on 16 November. Every top women’s doubles pair in that draw will position itself against the streak that just kept growing in Texas.
