A week after the Professional Pickleball Associationâs 2026 Asian tour kicked off in Hanoi, their Australia-based crew flew south to resume its 2026 slate of Pickleball Australia events with the 2026 PPA Australia Moreton Bay 125, held at Focus Pickleball Redcliffe in Queensland, Australia.

Letâs do a quick recap of the results, highlighting the winners, the upsets, and the top Asian players who made waves.
Thanks to a couple of withdrawals along the way, the final featured a No. 27 seed in Daiki Tanabe. He fell to the No. 4 seed Sahil Dang for the gold, but both secured their first PPA International medals. No. 2 seed Lucas Pasco settled for bronze.
Sydney 2026 champ Andie Dikosavljevic made it two golds in two tries by topping Kaitlynn Hart in the Womenâs singles final. Top seed Sahra Dennehy was upset in her opening round by Isabelle Papazyan, who eventually fell in the bronze medal match.

Top seeds Joseph Wild & George Wall, who fell in the quarters in Hanoi to the eventual champs Johns & Tardio, cruised to the title in Redcliffe without much trouble. They never dropped a game, and beat the No. 3 seeds Mitch Hargreaves & Ryan Henry in the final 7,7.

The two recent PPA signees and top seeds Danni-Elle Townsend & Sahra Dennehy, set to play in MLP this summer for Columbus and California respectively, dominated the competition and swept to the title without dropping a game. They topped No. 3 Selina Turulja & Andie Dikosavljevic in the final.
That makes it 2-for-2 this season for Townsend & Dennehy, as they also took the season opening PPA Australia Sydney event in March.
Danni-Elle Townsend & Joseph Wild both made it a double gold weekend for themselves by taking the Mixed gold on Sunday. The top seeds beat No. 2 Andie Dikosavljevic & Lucas Pascoe in the final.
