Bermuda’s rising pickleball talent, Imani Phillips, is set for a major test as she prepares to compete in the Women’s Singles Pro Division at the 2025 GEICO APP Tour Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Phillips faces a challenging opening draw in the Round of 32 of the Women’s Singles Pro Division. She will be facing Domenika Turkovic from Croatia, a highly competitive player on the international circuit.
Turkovic is ranked highly in women's singles on the RTA Pickleball Tour, and her 2025 season shows a strong overall win rate, particularly in singles. This match will serve as a significant gauge for Phillips as she looks to solidify her place on the professional circuit.
Phillips is focused on continuing her development in the professional arena. She has been actively seeking high-level competition, including participating in the English Open and training with top-ranked players.
The Bermudian athlete has previously faced Turkovic in a group stage match at the English Open, going down 11-1. However, Phillips has since achieved success, including winning a Mixed Doubles title in the Cayman Islands and claiming Silver in the Women's Singles 4.0 division at the Milwaukee Open.
Competing in a major championship like the season-ending APP Tour Championships offers Phillips another vital opportunity to gain experience against the world's best as she continues her ambition to break into the professional ranks.
