Several top men's doubles players, including Gabe Tardio, Hayden Patriquin, and JW Johnson, are skipping the Veolia Arizona Open, opening the draw and prompting new partnerships at the PPA Tour event in Mesa. Ben Johns has paired with Federico Staksrud as the top seed, while the second-seeded duo of Andrei Daescu and Christian Alshon enters off a recent silver-medal finish. Other notable teams include the third-seeded CJ Klinger and Cam Chaffin, plus seeds such as Eric Oncins/Noe Khlif and Dekel Bar/Dylan Frazier. Main-draw action begins with the round of 32 on September 16, and the adjusted field plus first-time combinations will shape which pairs advance through the early rounds to the quarterfinals.
