KP Pannu

KP Pannu represents New Zealand on the professional stage, known for his aggressive baseline game and ability to take control of rallies. With powerful groundstrokes and a confident presence on court, Pannu has built a reputation as a determined competitor capable of producing standout moments under pressure.

​

One of those moments came at this very tournament in 2024, when Pannu earned national recognition with a highlight that landed on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays—featuring a between-the-legs serve followed by a between-the-legs volley. The point showcased both his creativity and confidence, adding a memorable chapter to the tournament’s history. In 2025, Pannu returned to the same stage for the final match of his professional career, making his connection to the event even more meaningful.
