Pickleball Tournaments and Brand Launch Boost Sport in Malaysia and New Zealand

The GRAZIA Pickleball Tournament entered its third season on a rainy Saturday at Reserve Pickle & Padel in Kota Damansara, Malaysia. Ninety‑four players in white attire competed in mixed‑doubles matches, while sponsors such as Evian, Vitamin Well, PaperKite and Jägermeister provided beverages and prizes. Attendees also enjoyed a physio corner and a café on site.

In Wellington, New Zealand, designer Felicity Biggans unveiled her new female‑focused sports label PickleBall Girl at a private launch in Khanna House Studios. The brand, part of her broader collection of women‑centric sport fashion, aims to increase female representation in the growing pickleball community. Biggans, a former Ralph Lauren designer, highlighted the brand’s emphasis on confidence, strength and fun.
