All of this just further cements her as the top pickleball influencer. She didn't run from an opportunity to play in a professional tournament. She embraced it.
This is why Rachel Stuhlmann was the first ever influencer, named by the OutKick Culture Department, to hold the No. 1 ranking in two sports.

Not only can Stuhlmann handle the responsibility, she's going to give it all she's got. That's always delivered for the sport of tennis, and it will deliver for pickleball too.
Speaking of tennis. Fans shouldn’t be worried that this venture into pickleball will take away from her coverage of tennis. She's not turning her back on her first love.
Stuhlmann was just at the U.S. Open putting on an absolute influencing clinic. She dropped a photo shoot in the middle of a media tour to get as many eyeballs as possible on the last tennis major of the year.
