'If Something’s Not Working, We’re Quick to Change': Anna Leigh Waters On Shot Selection and Strategy

Anna Leigh Waters has continued her strong run at the Carvana PPA Masters, reaching the finals in all three categories: mixed doubles, women’s doubles and women’s singles, as she eyes her 40th triple crown. Speaking to PickleballTV, Waters emphasised adaptability and decision-making rather than improvisation. “Obviously, in practice, we’re always working on new things and new shots and how to get better and new strategy,” she said. “I feel like on the court, a lot of times, if something’s not working, we’re pretty quick to change it, which is why you might think it’s like forever evolving.”Waters clarified that adjustments during matches are not spontaneous experiments but calculated shifts based on what the situation demands.
