The AVP Palm Beach Open just got a taste of what Avery Coakley and Liam Pater are all about. This wasn't just any win; it was pure dominance.
Breaking Through
Starting as the eighth seed, Coakley and Pater dismantled the 17th-seeded duo of Kaeli Crews and Delaney Peranich, 21-12, 21-16. This was more than just advancing—it was a statement.
Coakley-Pater didn't stop there. The pair marched through the tournament, sealing their wild card into the prestigious Manhattan Beach Open. The real clincher? Their gritty 21-19, 23-21 victory over the second-seeded team of Maddie Anderson and Brook Bauer. No answer for that.
The Championship Run
Their journey to the top culminated with a commanding 21-18, 21-17 win over Aurora Davis and Katie Hogan. This duo was no joke. They ran the show, proving why they’re a force on the sand.
Meanwhile, other notable performances included a ninth-place finish for Shields and partner Maya Gessner, while Falyn Fonoimoana settled for 17th. But let's be real—this weekend was all about Coakley and Pater.
You could feel it coming. And just like that, the Palm Beach Open had its champions.
This is where it changed. Coakley and Pater are not just contenders—they’re the real deal. Watch out, Manhattan Beach. They're coming for more.
