The 2023 APP Chicago Open is set to take place at Danny Cunniff Park, situated in the picturesque suburban Highland Park on the vibrant North Shore of the Chicago metropolitan area.

This year’s tournament anticipates participation from over 800 players across various skill levels, encompassing both amateurs and esteemed professionals competing in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events.

A Successful Partnership

Building on a successful partnership established in 2022 during the 2022 APP Chicago Open, Lexus and APP are once again joining forces. 

Lexus has already marked its presence as the official sponsor of APP Tour events in Cincinnati and St. Louis during the 2023 season. 

Building on their partnership that began in 2022, Lexus and APP continue their successful journey. 

This collaboration ensures that the Lexus brand will continue to be seamlessly integrated into the APP Tour through in-venue branding, captivating vehicle displays, eye-catching signage, engaging social media promotion, and notable inclusion in the APP Tour broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPN+ livestream coverage.

A Testimony to Collaboration and Growth

Ryan McSpadden, APP Chief Revenue Officer, emphasizes the significance of this partnership: “Lexus continues to be a valued partner of the APP – we are proud to support their commitment to growing the sport of pickleball.”

The collaboration reflects a shared dedication to promoting excellence, innovation, and passion within the sport.

Jason Keller, General Manager of Lexus – Central Area, echoes the sentiment, stating, “As pickleball participation and interest continues to boom in the Midwest, our sponsorship of professional pickleball is a natural fit for Lexus.”

When I first started writing about pickleball, I hadn't appreciated the huge range of related features it encompasses: from building communities and players fighting against court closures to overcoming health challenges and raising money for charity, it's a whole new world! I love the stories about the smaller towns from the farthest-flung corners of the U.S. and how those residents have adopted pickleball to create friendships and community spirit.
