Anne Schumacher and Nicole Sibenaler Gear Up for Inaugural DUPR European Pickleball Championships
Luxembourg native Anne Schumacher is gearing up for the inaugural DUPR European Pickleball Championships alongside her partner Nicole Sibenaler. Sibenaler, who is deaf, has been warmly embraced by the pickleball community, allowing the duo to excel on the national and international stage.
Schumacher and Sibenaler have already tasted success, with multiple tournament wins under their belt. Despite facing communication challenges due to Sibenaler’s hearing impairment, the pair have worked hard to overcome obstacles and build a strong partnership both on and off the court.
With the European Championships on the horizon, Schumacher is excited for the opportunity to compete against top talent from across the continent. She views the event as a chance to have fun, learn, and continue growing in the sport she loves.
Pickleball may be relatively new in Luxembourg, but its popularity is on the rise, with hundreds of players regularly participating in the sport. Schumacher and Sibenaler’s success is a testament to their dedication and passion for pickleball, and they are eager to showcase their skills on the European stage.
