The Kitchen's Top 20 men's singles players - November 2025

1. Federico Staksrud - If we had done this ranking three months ago, Staksrud would not have been No. 1. But he finished the year strong, winning the Pickleball World Championships in Dallas, the Las Vegas Cup and the wooden paddle tournament in Sacramento. He now has the most gold medals of anybody this season with four, as well as three silvers and two bronze medals. Two of his wins were in Slams.

2. Christopher Haworth - He signed with the PPA late this summer, but has still managed to win two gold medals, one silver and one bronze in fewer events than any of the other players on this list. He also won the $50,000 LT Open in October.

3. Hunter Johnson - He started the year strong, with three golds in his first nine tournaments of the season, but hasn't found the top of the podium since June. He also has two silvers and four bronze medals on the year.

4. Christian Alshon - It's always been clear that Alshon had the talent to be a Top 5 singles player, and it finally clicked this season. He won his first singles gold medal at the Cape Coral Open in March, then backed it up with two more titles at the Texas Open and Cincinnati Showcase (a Slam). He also has two silvers and a bronze on the year.

5. Connor Garnett - He's Mr. Consistent, almost always making it to the semifinals or quarterfinals, but has yet to break through to win an event in 2025. He has two silvers and two bronze medals on the year.

6. Jaume Martinez Vich - Has just as much hardware as Garnett -- two silvers and two bronze medals -- but doesn't quite have the same consistency week-to-week.

7. John Lucian Goins - He got back-to-back wins in Bristol and Las Vegas in late summer, but hasn't found the podium since. His only other medal was a bronze at the Cape Coral Open in the spring.

8. Jack Sock - He's clearly made a jump from Year 1 to Year 2 on tour, but still only has one second-place finish this season.

9. Roscoe Bellamy - Got big wins over Hunter Johnson, Gabriel Joseph and Christian Alshon on his way to a silver at the Las Vegas Cup in October. Also took second at the North Carolina Open in April.

10. Gabriel Joseph - Like Bellamy, he has two silver medals on the year, but the recent head-to-head matchup gives Bellamy a slight edge.
