The Best Doubles Pickleball Players by DUPR on Every Continent

Few pickleball players on the planet will ever know what it's like to possess a DUPR rating of 7.0 or above – this list has two of them

Last week, we brought you DUPR's January ranking of the top singles players on each continent.

That one was fun, full of big names like Anna Leigh Waters, Federico Staksrud, Quang Duong, and more. Now we're running it back; but this time, all eyes are on the world's best doubles pickleball players.

Once again, our pals over at DUPR have put together a comprehensive list of the best doubles players from January 2026, men and women, ranked by DUPR rating across each of the continents. (Editor's note: Antarctica doesn't make the cut, but the data does include the geographical region of Central America.)
