I think Simone is done with singles for awhile after retiring in her match with Catherine. You really don't see anyone over 40 competing in singles events in the open pro divisions (men's or women's) vs the 20 and 30 yr olds. Great video! I really enjoyed it!

If Simone decided to drop out of singles because she deemed that she would not have the energy to help her partners in in women's and coed double's; did she do her sponsors a favor? Where is the most viewership in pickleball? I do not think it is in singles. If she would wear herself out in playing singles the let both her partners down; is she helping or hurting the sport?
