Ranking the best sibling duos in pickleball

By The Kitchen Team | Last updated May 4, 2026

There are more than a dozen sibling duos in pro pickleball. We recently put our heads together to rank the Top 10.

The list considered current combined rankings, longevity in the sport and popularity among fans. Enjoy!

1. JW & Jorja Johnson

Over the past 2 ½ years they have appeared in 19 PPA finals, won 5 gold medals and beat Ben Johns/Anna Leigh Waters twice. In Major League Pickleball they teamed up on the Dallas Flash and went 26-7 in 2024 and 32-5 in 2025, leading the Flash to the MLP title in 2024.

2. Ben & Collin Johns

If we had done this ranking in 2023 or 2024, they would have been No. 1 without question. But they haven’t played together since the 2025 Masters. Still, they won a total of 34 gold medals together on the PPA Tour. That’s gonna be hard for any sibling duo to beat moving forward.

3. Jade & Jackie Kawamoto

They are fan favorites whenever they play together in women’s doubles. They also are a threat to win against just about anybody on the women’s side right now. Since 2025 they have competed in six tournaments together, with 1 gold, 3 silvers and 1 bronze medal.

4. Hunter & Yates Johnson

They’ve only played doubles together once this year, but both brothers are exceptional singles players. In our latest Men’s Singles Power Rankings, we had Hunter at No. 3 and Yates at No. 19.

5. Alix & Jonathan Truong

Both are ranked in the Top 25 in their respective gender doubles rankings, and are capable of making a deep run when they play mixed together.
