Jones, Rieman win stacked Cleveland Signature Open doubles bracket

Jalen Jones and Brennan Rieman separated themselves in Cleveland by doing what the best doubles teams do at a Signature event: they stayed clean, stayed steady and kept forcing the bracket to bend their way. In the Open Doubles Tier 1 Final Bracket A, the pair finished as champions in a field that never felt small, with results moving across courts 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 73, 74 and 90.

The bracket told the story of a deep weekend before it even reached the final line. It was packed with named teams such as Alex McGee and Zane Sproat, Brandon Rogers and Tristin Chesbro, Tom Gorski and Ken Henriott, Owen Merrill and Corey Taylor, Dean VanSlambrouck and John Unger, Steven Ochoa and Shawn Friend, Kyle Morrow and Michael Kline, Derik Tunitis and Daniel Collins, Hunter Crouch and John Simon, and Jeremiah Ellis and Bryce Forbes. That kind of depth is what makes doubles different from a simple side draw. Every round asks for chemistry, not just individual touch.

Jones and Rieman advanced through a bracket loaded with score lines that swung from 21-0 and 21-2 to 22-9, 23-3, 24-2, 25-2, 27-7, 29-16 and 21-14. Those margins matter because they show how unforgiving the format was. A doubles team could not rely on one hot player carrying the frame. It had to win the board position battle, avoid empty boards and finish frames before the other side could settle in. Jones and Rieman did that well enough to sit at the top when the tier ended.

Their run also stood out because it was backed up in a related Cleveland doubles bracket, where Jones and Rieman again came through as champions. That consistency points to more than one good stretch of bags. It suggests a partnership with a repeatable rhythm, one that held across multiple bracket sheets in the same event series.

The Cleveland Signature Open, staged at the Huntington Convention Center at 300 Lakeside Ave E in Cleveland, Ohio, was part of a larger ACL Signature weekend that ran Friday, April 24, 2026 and Saturday, April 25, 2026. ACL FanZone listings showed competition across multiple divisions and levels, and the ACL Player App made the doubles path visible court by court. In a setting like that, where the sheet reads almost like a live scorebook, Jones and Rieman were the pair that finished the cleanest and proved the most reliable when the bracket got crowded.
