Simone Jardim

Simone Jardim is a living legend that needs no introduction. She’s widely regarded as the best female pickleball player of all time and has a list of accomplishments to prove it. Simone entered her first national tennis tournament when she was only 8 years old and later played college tennis at Auburn University as well as Fresno State where she was a two-time All-American doubles player. Then, a friend introduced her to pickleball and it changed her life. Since that fateful introduction, Simone has won the National Open Championship six times, the Tournament of Champions eight times, the U.S. Open seven times, and has won the U.S. Open Triple Crown two times. To top it all off, she was the #1 ranked singles, doubles, and mixed doubles female player in the world from 2016 to 2020.
