Gio Morelli

Giovanna "Gio" Morelli is a professional pickleball player on the PPA Tour, signed within six months of first competing in tour qualifiers. She is represented by Peak Pickleball Agency.

She came to pickleball from tennis and beach tennis. Her early results on tour include a Round of 16 finish at the Zion Cup.

Her game is aggressive. She applies pressure early, moves quickly from defense to offense and brings steady encouragement to her partners through long matches.

She coaches full time at the Ibis Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, around training and tour travel. Off the court she creates fashion and travel content and owns more than 100 tournament outfits, often matched to her partner's colors.
