The official tour of pickleball put on a show for a capacity crowd on Cincinnati’s riverfront, with the sport’s top stars shining at the 2026 APP Vlasic Classic Cincinnati.

Katerina Stewart and Jack Munro were the big winners, each taking home two gold medals. Stewart’s singles title was her second of the 2026 season, and she also secured her first women’s doubles title of the year alongside Louisville native Riley Bohnert. Munro earned gold medals in both men’s doubles alongside Richard Livornese, Jr. and in mixed doubles with Jill Braverman. Dusty Boyer won the men’s singles title for his first career APP Tour gold medal.

Sawyer Point played host to passionate spectators, the world’s best pickleball pros, the AARP Champions (50+) and Masters (60+) Pro Divisions, and hundreds of amateur players of all ages and skill levels competing for prize money, hardware, and to earn their spots in the 2026 USA Pickleball National Championships
