Athletes from outside Java are directed to stay at the Unesa Hotel, so they can compete fresh and on time.
Muhammad Kharis Fajar himself admitted that the last match was very impressive, where there was an executive match that was participated by the leaders, one of which was Prof. Dr. Nurhasan, M.Kes. as Chancellor of Unesa and Dr. Agus Hariyanto, M.Kes as the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Alumni. In this match, the Chancellor of Lambung Mangkurat University was also present.
Prof. Nurhasan, M.Kes Unesa Chancellor hopes that the Pickleball championship can create unity and integrity between fellow athletes and referees.

"For the winners, I congratulate you, develop Pickleball in your hometown and wherever you are, stay enthusiastic, optimistic and take care of your health and don't forget to obey the prokes," said the Unesa Chancellor (Hasna/zam)
