I had a great and incredibly honest conversation with one of the most recognized international leaders in pickleball, Gilberto (Tito) Machado, CEO of DUPR, pickleball’s leading rating system. Tito has spent years on the ratings side of racquet sports, and our conversation went far beyond the headlines. We talked about the highs, the lows, the moments DUPR nearly didn’t make it, the backlash and threats along the way, and what it took to build the platform into the global standard it is today.
