2023 PPA Atlanta Open - Johns/Waters vs. Newman/Todd - Match Highlights - Mixed Doubles Championship

[@collinsphilips]

very good teamwork

[@John-om5dm]

Padel is definitely more interesting. Lobs, smashes, net play, it's got it all

[@krishbharadhwaj8105]

So much better than this useless sport

[@dantepaule4311]

Pickleball is like a combination of lawn tennis and ping pong😅

[@ashupashu5559]

Wow I really understimated pickleball

[@Railien24]

After that paddle went flying out of his hand, I wondered where is the wrist grip on these paddles? no straps? You'd have to only use one hand and play a little harder but damn, better then throwing your paddle out into the crowd.

[@desoc1111]

I'm confused - why do they often serve, and they cross with their partners to the other side? What's that about???

[@stoptimedoo1425]

They need to meet at the kitchen

[@InnoPedrosa]

stacking

[@-.TS.-]

The right handed male usually goes on the left side of the court as he can cover more ground with his forehand. Male players are usually the better player in mix doubles. Position will flip if the female is better.

[@juice3737]

Basically as long as u serve on the correct side u can go anywhere after the serve....stacking

[@KTCHNPickleball]

Awesome rally!

[@bobwhite2]

I have a problem. This podcast is not at normal speed!

[@okiepita50t-town28]

Those two are unbelievable.

[@akhrormuminov7180]

Todd and Newman are insane doubles players. 11/1 against them says a lot. Ben and Anna Lee are way above them 😅

[@patricklacson]

This is not the speed of my pickleball games!

[@Powerstroke98]

Why do I have such a hate-on, for the guy in black!

[@Bean55UltraA]

i like the part where they hit the ball

[@blazymolds7495]

Do you see pickleball as a threat to tennis?

[@ollieapril]

Oke, that guy needs to chill, this is DOUBLES and he is so possessive of the court. He is basically forcing that girl out. Not a team player at all...

[@willparrish863]

guy stronger, so more times hitting, makes sense to me

[@ilonapellegrini8150]

The forehand player crosses over the line and takes those shots. It's not poaching or hogging..forehand has a better chance to hit the ball.more accurately. When the girl goes on the left she will cross the line too

[@Mollysbored]

They’re trying to win, he’s got the momentum. You do what you can to help your partner out when you have the better shot.

[@galebailey5583]

Pickleball is essentially ping pong played on a tennis court. The paddles and the sound the ball makes when hit is identical.

[@_sinxseer]

not identical but close

[@parrotbrand2782]

A little bit of badminton too because of the net play. I doubt you can impart a strong spin on the ball like ping pong though

[@jjhappy2399]

@@parrotbrand2782yes, you can do all kind of spinning. The speed is much higher for ping pang too.

[@lucyli1742]

No volley in Pingpong, No drop in Badminton, No kitchen zone in Tennis.

Is it like tiny version of a lawn Tennis. 😂😂😂

Absolutely electric action on the pickle ball court today when she accidentally stepped in the kitchen my heart jumped out of my chest truly top notch high octane glued to your seat action by god

[@LyB758]

Love B. Johns; AL Waters; JW Brother🌟J Sister 🌟Johnson’s, Todd; Black 💕 I saw a Championship Sunday from a year ago; match where B. Johns constantly kept foot faulting at the kitchen never was called on it🫣🤫😳Aren’t the referees paying attention. It’s the game that B. Johns & AL waters were wearing pink. vs C. Paréntesis & McGuffin wearing orange. Great match yet what a rip off for the other team as B. John’s got away with foot fault time after time 😮😳😵‍💫Wake up Referee 🤪😴

[@oannha2509]

Pickle ball là một trong những môn thể thao được quốc tế công nhận và có rất nhiều giải đấu trên thế giới phải nói là xem rất đã mắt, kỹ thuật được vận dụng cũng rất khó chứ không phải dễ nhưng không hiểu tại sao về Việt Nam thì môn thể thao này lại bị mọi người gán mắc thế này thế kia. Hãy đến với pickle ball vì tinh thần yêu thể thao, đừng đánh giá môn pickle ball theo hướng tiêu cực quá tội nghiệp cho những người đam mê môn pickle ball [thật sự]

[@sharonhamilton1448]

Guy in white takes over

[@sharihumes997]

Anna and Ben... won

[@jamescps8799]

Falling asleep watching this.

[@davidatkins5575]

thought this was a team event - this Newman guy is all over the court leaving his partner out of most of the action, why I never like 2 person court sports, very unequal and unsportsmanlike behaviors.

[@amit212543]

There’s a difference bw unequal and unsportsmanlike. Basically every pro that’s been asked about this including the women says this way is good because it’s the best way to win even if it looks weird. Women’s doubles and men’s doubles is more even so you’d prob like that better.

[@ttank7241]

sock and waters played together and they played equal. It was actually fun to watch. the men need to respect the skills of the women

[@amit212543]

@@ttank7241 Ben is the best man and Riley is like top 5. Sock is well below that standard so AL as the best woman took on more. Do you really think these women are being forced to play this way? They all think it’s their best shot to win. Ben even does this to Colin, who recently won a silver without him.

[@ttank7241]

@@amit212543 I know where you are coming from but it is not in the true spirit of the game and not fun to watch... unless you are a republican man who thinks women need to be controlled by men. One issue bigger than this is line calls. I might be time to have lines people. Having the competitor making the calls does not work when money is on the line. What do you think.

[@IRGhost0]

@@ttank7241 the play style is decided by the people who play. in this case, the guy is hitting most of the balls because that's their style of play, and it's effective. they want to win more than make sure both the guy and girl hit the same number of balls to meet your agenda.

Yes, it is a watered down version of tennis and table tennis (less speed/running). However, the game makes it possible for everyone participate and stay active.
