[@richardlee1972]

The mental toughness of Ben Johns to win the last 6 points of the game and win the match is impressive.

[@mrfofung]

Nasty forehands at the end by Ben. Great match

[@arautus]

Clutch!

[@imK3VBOT]

Sitting next to his dad listening to him cuss him out in Vietnamese at the end of the match is wild. Hard not to feel bad for the kid seeing him tear up at the end, but maybe thats just the coaching style that works for their relationship

[@khpickleball]

Really? Hopefully it wasn’t cussing him out and more constructive 😬

[@andrewtirado1778]

Were you sitting next to him throughout the match? If so, is Quang looking at him (after nearly every point)?

[@imK3VBOT]

@@andrewtirado1778 yeah after every point he would look over at his dad as if he is looking for advice or approval

[@andrewtirado1778]

@@imK3VBOT could you tell if his dad was giving any?

[@EJPB]

I have a lot of questions: You sat next to his dad? Can we see you in the video? LOL You speak Vietnamese? I’ve seen comments like this about their relationship but I never see any about ALW and her mom who’s publicly stated she says mean spirited things to get ALW going. I wonder why that is….

[@grant5864]

23:47 insane shot from Quang, dude has had some nasty ATPs against Ben lol

[@gambler213]

Especially the single-handed backhand ATP was amazing.

[@EJPB]

Ben got his get back. He looked solid, and Quang has some sick patterns!

[@PickleballJoy]

To see a player *redline* for the whole match (Duong) is impressive. Good win for Ben, who played under control 85% of the match.

[@valerianpereira1259]

Ben Johnson; is aCool; composed; quiet dynamic young man pleasure to watch him play.. entertaining..

[@gambler213]

His maturity level is off the charts. He's also very well-spoken.

[@Breezyanon]

Quang always plays out of his mind vs Ben. Was painting the baseline with returns for awhile. He choked away match point a couple of times man. His drives are so good he could’ve taken some heat off them at the end.

[@JR-fy1qk]

great contrast of styles. great game!

[@BjornsonJill]

Wow, awesome, Ben.

[@49pickles]

Great job Ben!

[@mauriceb9996]

Quong is young and quickly getting better. At this pace, he'll overtake Ben soon.

[@gambler213]

Maybe, but I doubt he could have played any better in this match.

[@chaffy0548]

Commentators glazing for ben is wild

[@yipai8628]

I wish Quang Duong win Vizzy Atlanta Open champion 2025. He will vs Jack Sock at final.

[@noelgenoway9360]

Quang has only one style - hard, fast, hard and fast. Ben is the complete package - he can be athletic and hard game and delicate and the soft game. Great job Ben!!!

[@PhilProfEdwards]

Quang beat Ben on the majority of the cat and mouse games. My boy Quang is better than Ben, he just choked at the end of game three. I like Ben but Style Bender is the future of sport.

[@jamesgreen3087]

He has a Long Way to go to beat Ben John’s,, Best Pickleball Player in the World 🌎.

[@gabeanderson8816]

⁠@@PhilProfEdwardschoking at the end is part of not being better yet. There were stretches where Quang looked like the far superior player, but truthfully he’s probably just the better athlete. Ben was wayyyy off his normal game today. That part was obvious. A standard deviation below his normal play and he still found a way. I like Quang too but we have to be objective about what we see.

[@noelgenoway9360]

@@PhilProfEdwards Ya not ....... Quang has a long way to go yet!

[@richardlee1972]

Quang just lost to him. Avoid the excuses. You look willy.

[@chicnroots4339]

Great comeback !

[@thomashull7669]

guy is like the tiger woods of pickleball. absolutely icey cold

[@THEspindoctor84]

heartbreaker of a loss...I hope Quong can recover. Keep going man!

[@THEspindoctor84]

I've said this before in another one of Quong's matches. If he just added a little more soft game, I think that would help him. He's currently at 90% hard game...maybe 80/20 would be better.

[@anthonyhoang5902]

Hey Atlanta Open, move to the rally scoring like the MLP. I'm a busy guy, I can't spend 5 minutes to see one point scored. I need to know approximately how long a match will take, so I can manage my time appropriately. Thanks.

[@andrewtirado1778]

At 6:10 one of the announcers mentions how Quang is constantly looking over at the bench, speculating that something’s wrong. I’ve noticed that in every game he plays, though. Watch him - he looks over after nearly every shot.

[@razrgu3838]

His dad is his coach

[@buddha199115]

How the hell you know? Abused? Come on, every player has his own style. Don’t judge. Or maybe you a better player.

[@chubun6631]

He looks to his dad and he gets here. Where are your kids? C'mon people.

[@SanityReigns-pz8qh]

​@@razrgu3838 No coaching allowed outside of timeouts. Not saying he is, but I've seen it in person and it's not a good look.

[@andrewtirado1778]

@@SanityReigns-pz8qh a) I don’t know who he’s looking at for sure, b) don’t know if, as you say, no coaching is allowed outside of timeouts, though I will assume you are correct there, and c) don’t know what constitutes coaching. I haven’t seen any cameras directed toward whoever Quang is looking at but would like to know if any signaling seems to be going on, or is it just “encouragement”? Clapping, saying “You got this”, etc? And, again, don’t know if coaches are allowed to signal anything. Maybe they can. Lots of conjecture. Just wanted to comment that I’ve seen it every match I’ve watch him play. It’s so regular, it began to really stand out to me. Amazing shots from Quang against Johns, and incredible mental strength from Johns (and, of course, play) to pull out the win.

[@twolf9003]

Quang is 17 yrs old? Dayum… close games! Great job to both! Quang is gonna be a menace

[@gambler213]

He's 18 and is already a menace. His shot-making skills are the best.

[@daveharter6469]

It seemed to me It changed when Ben failed to hit a ball out of the air, in the middle of game three. After that, he took several out of the air for winners. crazy good by both.

[@ProudPapa-zd6gs]

We have all been privileged to see the future of pickleball and it is spelled Dong. The kid is amazing, and will only improve with time.

[@chubun6631]

I'm pretty sure it's spelled wrong. Who the hell is Dong?

[@traviswise1012]

Is that a foot fault on ben at 32:22? He slid his foot back but it looks like he was touching when he hit the ball

[@logisticalnonsense]

Definitely a fault. Ref missed it. I didnt see it till you pointed it out!

[@juliemills6716]

It was strange to hear clapping while Duong was setting up to serve.

[@staymad5685]

quang would win more games if he grunted less

[@anthonyhoang5902]

What's their record this year (Duong vs B.Johns)? 2-2, i believe.

[@fishy7381]

38:10 the announcer said SACK instead of Sock 😂

[@ImportantComment]

Ben just showed us why is the #2 singles player in the world

[@gambler213]

Singles in points, but he has dominated Fed.

[@gambler213]

Quang couldn't have played a better match than he did in this one, and he still lost. However, his shot-making is the best in the sport.

[@luxon4]

crazy how little quangnathan is the only one who can make ben sweat, and how ben is seed 2 even though federico has never even made it close before against ben. the only way federico has won a tournament in the last few years has been when quang knocked out ben or ben didnt participate.

[@user-oj8gj2bm6w]

I still think it’s not necessary at that level. You don’t hear the John’s or ALWaters making noises. It’s a wiffle ball not a heavy tennis ball.

[@bethechange4726]

Con, Sir Ben!!

[@jkgabes]

the grunting is too much. At what point is it a hindrance😆

[@nategaluza6700]

Ya me too. So distracting

[@86309]

so why isn't this on PickleBall TV??????

[@chaseunderwood1671]

It was live on pickleball tv yesterday. They upload these after the fact for people to rewatch

[@Breezyanon]

Ben has to get to his forehand more

[@fkporsche1]

Ben Johns still the best!

[@VividTape]

Ben not getting paid to let Quang win anymore

[@khpickleball]

Does Duong yell “what!” after some of his winners?

[@gabeanderson8816]

Yes, often

[@MonsterGains96]

Announcers riding Ben so hard

[@4runr]

still pronouncing duong incorrectly? its not “DWONG”.

[@RollSoundRollcamera]

Who does duong keep looking at when he looses a point?

[@gabeanderson8816]

Dad on the sideline. They put a camera spot on him near the end of the he’s bald and a little fluffy but same complexion and eyes.

[@rvpickleballguy]

Stop saying his name wrong guys

[@andrewroberts9716]

Still can't say the kids name right.. 😢

[@noelgenoway9360]

Hate the grunts! yuk!!!

[@robertkribs9513]

WOW what a match! Duong is definitely a banger (not that Ben doesn't put some away nicely) but Ben showed unmatched finesse with those spinning resets!

That was strangely... inappropriate!

That 18:22 cut after Ben hits the ball lol

[@datdinh8652]

Commentators should be calling the match, not root for a particular player. I can do without the commentators.

[@user-oj8gj2bm6w]

Must we have the tennis moans in pickleball , it’s very annoying !!

[@navar20]

The sharp exhale as you uncoil your core through a stroke is a core tennet of any racquet sport. The sharpness can be exaggerated with sound for consistency. Soooo....I think the moans will probably stay.....for scientific reasons

[@ningster]

8:15 did i just hear you both say Ch*nk in the Armor? wow...

[@is44ct37]

It’s a saying lol, like chainmail

[@julialaurenti]

commentators pretty biased bs lol

[@MsSithathor]

yes ahahaha biased commentators

[@kevpad1]

Outlaw the grunts. So rude.

[@brooksa4579]

Absolutely agree! Hate the grunts

[@BlGSac]

How are they rude? They do it in Tennis and Badminton and other sports. It's been proven that the grunting can lead to more power and keeps your core stable, keeps your breathing consistent. Just cause you don't like the sound, doesn't mean it's not valid or disrespectful

[@antuan3586]

Don’t give pickle ball the reputation of being sensitive as fk to everything please

[@buddha199115]

Remember that guy shouts every time if he wins a point in foreign language? If you people can’t stand grunts in professional sports and make it so politically, stay away from his match. Simple as that.

[@SanityReigns-pz8qh]

​@@BlGSac They tried to ban it in tennis, but didn't have the cajones to follow through. Forceful expelling of air does not need to result in a drawn out grunt. That came about in tennis very much as a borderline distraction, cover the ball-strike sound, tactic.

[@jacecosentino5851]

SPOILER BLOCKER

[@caveman1416]

Number 1 in the world? How? If he hasnt even played tournaments outside of the US

[@agasher001]

As Ben ages and his skills fade, he is going to transform into the biggest baby whiner in pro sports.

[@10splay]

Why are they trying to make this activity into something for people below 65 years old? There is a sport called tennis

[@terfinakhomitch400]

😂

[@darkwingduck3790]

Because more people are casually playing pickleball, there is less need for athleticism so people who aren’t in pristine shape can play and compete pretty well, the learning curve isn’t as high (it’s easier to be competitive at a casual level in pickleball than in tennis), the courts are smaller so you can fit more in a given area thus more people can play concurrently, need I go on? Why don’t you ask yourself why you’re trying to prevent people from playing a fun casual sport?

[@FueledUpBrandMedia]

Ready for Ben Johns to be done… such a boring style, the new high energy players will take over soon!
