COLUMBUS, Ohio — Championship Sunday is here. The 2026 APP Columbus Open Presented by The James crowns its champions today at Pickle & Chill, with five pro finals starting at noon ET on ESPN+.
And the day belongs, before a ball is struck, to Domenika Turkovic.
Turkovic, twice
The Croatian star and DINK Authority's October cover athlete is the only woman playing two finals today. In women's pro singles she faces Jessica Evanier, two weeks after taking silver in Overland Park. In women's pro doubles she teams with Glauka Carvajal Lane against Christine Maddox and Shelby Bates. Two finals, two chances at gold, and a shot at the best weekend of her APP season.

Six in a row?
Jack Munro and Richard Livornese Jr. arrived in Columbus with five consecutive men's pro doubles titles. One more win makes it six. Standing in their way are Jay Devilliers and Tanner Tomassi, who reached the quarterfinals in Overland Park in Devilliers' first APP event of 2026 and have now gone all the way to the final.
Munro has a long day ahead: he also plays the mixed doubles final with Jill Braverman.
Fudge, one win from history
On the other side of that mixed final is Megan Fudge, alongside Aidan Schenk. Fudge tied Simone Jardim's record of 33 career women's pro gold medals in Overland Park. A win today would give her 34 and the record outright.
Dussault wants the one he's missing
Tristan Dussault, the 18-year-old from Orlando, is in his second straight men's pro singles final. He won his first APP gold in mixed doubles in Overland Park but lost the singles final there. Today he faces Dusty Boyer with a chance to add the singles title to his breakout season.
