Did you really put the outcome in the title? Why would you do that?

[@kkistbh824]

Right

[@millisock]

@ppatour Please don't put the outcome in the titles of your videos. It's a terrible spoiler. Many of us watch and want to learn of the outcome by watching the actual match.

[@PPAtour]

We have our reasons, but we have heard you.

[@kkistbh824]

@@PPAtour is it because people who are searching for “Ben Johns loses” will discover this video in the future? If not please provide the rationalization

[@chike1993]

Lol, Think about it 🤣

[@mateobodon]

Love hearing from Collin, he brings a lot of insight. You guys should have him on more.

[@goldenchildtheater]

More pros in the booth please, they are so much more insightful

[@JimEdmiston]

😂 I can’t believe these people are taken seriously

[@mateobodon]

@@JimEdmiston why shouldn’t they be?

[@arautus]

Good for Vich, he's one of the really good people in this game. It will be icing on the cake if he wins gold.

[@goldenchildtheater]

Gonna be a good match

[@spaznickermeyer3507]

Um SPOILER ALERT?! I beg you, PPA .. please don’t spoil these matches. Some people live for them and look forward to them like me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@hurricanecat1]

Love Colin’s commentary

[@rachy9801]

same!

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Thanks for releasing this so quickly. The footage on the grandstand court was awful so it was hard to watch that and last week it took a bit for videos to come out so I really appreciate you guys releasing this so quickly to make up for that

[@ddyoder]

Thanks for releasing, but any harm of titling this with non-spoiler, e.g. "#8 Jaume Martinez vs. #1 Ben Johns in the Quarter Finals at the Desert Ridge Open". ? Happy to watch but some people may have wanted to view without knowing outcome ;)

[@wolf-xf6hf]

I love how from 17:10 ownwards the next two points are identical. Big serve, short return, shanking the ball high and middle on a forehand drive, forehand volley from the net, and then a reach back scoop drop attempt that goes into the net. We might never see two back to back points happen that similarly ever again

[@SN-95]

That SIX ZERO was definetly on fire today...well played Jaume

[@skylerperkins4111]

Don’t like singles, clicked because of the title, stayed for Colin Johns commentary. Super cool you had Colin on and let him speak freely.

[@ponkey8569]

No one really cares if you don't like singles. I don't like doubles, but who cares?

[@mikb277]

Way to blow the ending in the title lol. Thanks for that.

[@davem1966]

It is really frustrating when you put the result in the description

[@miatafunrun3078]

PPA Tour - Could you please not tell us who won in the title of the video. You are spoiling the game by telling us who won.

[@MegaHowtoMan]

Great gameplay and commentary. Good audio. Filthy shots by both players. Wish I could play at this level.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Congrats to Jaume! 👏

[@luxon4]

Why would you put spoilers in the title.. turning on Adblock for your videos

[@prettyblueplanet]

Ben has to be frustrated that his backhand isn’t currently competitive.

[@user-wd7ue1wd6r]

Ben had first mover advantage. Now pickleball is going to be crowded and will have tough time staying invincible.

[@mstaganja808]

Just like that. Good job Jumanji

[@chazmo1968]

The title didn’t bother me. I didn’t watch it live and they are both great players. It looks like Ben trying to use the double backhand will take some time to adjust his play so if he can get that done, wow, another tool on the belt.

[@MikeSerota]

Most epic comeback in professional Pickleball history?

[@DannyBPlays]

Don't spoil the ending in the title!!!!

[@mattnielsen5045]

At 31:51 ... That out call was massive. Would have liked another angle on it. Ben thought it was in. Announcers (yes I know his bro is one) thought it was in.. Didn't recover after that. It would have been 6-5 on his serve, instead he went down 7-4 immediately after. Tough change on a close call.

[@SN-95]

i think it was out....

[@ucctgg]

Thanks for spoilng the match in your title.

[@ronreck6343]

Ditto the last comment 😮rather watch to see who wins…

[@djstreams718]

Idk why Colin is up there if he can’t be objective. Overall he is fine but they ask about a how would he beat Ben. He can answer that and be vague

[@gambler213]

I didn't see Dylan Frazier enter this tournament.

[@peteherrera1502]

Jaume beat Ben using a Tennis, Tennis style of pickleball with tennis placement of the pickleball.

[@MikeSerota]

18:00 freeze.. what happened?

[@jah.5.]

The amount of unforced errors from Ben was uncharacteristic for him. Good on Vich!

[@TheMarnijessie]

Same thing occurred during his match with Quang Duong. Hope he gets his confidence back. He doesn't look like himself right now.

[@coachfezz1137]

new serve rules hurt johns@@TheMarnijessie

[@RileyLevineDesign]

Know what would suck? If they put the winner in the title of the video. Thank god they didn't do that...

[@mex5341]

do not put spoilers in the video title!!!!

[@gabewoh20]

Love that I can rely on Michelle to glaze up Ben every live stream

[@MrSupasonics]

What was that at 17:50? :/

[@GoodGuyPickleballer]

19:11 Former hitting partner of Rafael Nadal. Wow!

[@BlGSac]

Phuc Huynh in the crowd, one of my new favorite players. One day it will be him beating BJ or JMV

[@DKGFK]

Why do the keep putting the outcome inthe title? what a spoiler

[@alex3ff4rly]

Why's it gotta be called a Big "Upset"? I found the outcome of this match to be a Big Pleasantry.

[@PPAtour]

No.1 player in the world lost. Which he doesn't do very often.

[@vijeenroshponmaniwalson490]

Upset for who ?

[@jimmydevine]

Why would you put “big upset” in the title of a match that you posted only 6 hours ago?? That’s crazy

[@PPAtour]

The match happened yesterday.

[@jimmydevine]

Thanks. My mistake. KZbin is how I consume all PPA content. But a great way to get people to watch a sporting event is telling them how it ends before they watch it. I’m guessing a large majority of your viewership watches PPA through KZbin and not live. I appreciate your response, excellent work.

[@spstormproductions8557]

Seems pretty bad to put the outcome in the title. Not sure whoever is in charge of these streams is helping to grow the sport.

[@cameronlouis3185]

Please do not spoil the outcome of the matches. WTF!?!?!?

[@phyllisrosen7637]

We do t need John’s bio

[@gk-qf9hv]

Ben's serve have always been "barely legal" (read illegal). With the new serve rule, we see a mediocre Ben.

[@davidbrunelle3685]

Listen to this with your eyes closed and you'll hear one person commenting on the match and one person doing a monotone-deep-dive-pickle-podcast

[@JimEdmiston]

It’s simultaneously hilarious and depressing how much attention and “seriousness” has been attributed to this game.

[@goldenchildtheater]

You sound like someone that would know a great deal about depression

[@THEspindoctor84]

lol, these comments are so weird. Why is it depressing? If you're coming from the angle of "it's not a sport", then you may not have watched the actual video. Sure, it doesn't take the endurance and fitness of pro level soccer, but then again, most sports don't.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Using click bait to spoil the match for the real fans is ridiculous. One way to guarantee we stop watching your channel is continuing with this nonsense. Quit it!

[@ScottT109]

BJ looks tired

[@Itsknotvince]

CAN YOU STOP PUTTING THE OUTCOME ON THE CAPTION!? I already unfollowed the ig cause of the spoilers and the live stream is unbearable to watch!!!

[@jacksondelk419]

Title is strictly for views and it worked.

[@jefflitka5658]

Too much talk by commentators

[@toddmathis7484]

Ben imploded.

[@siriunwanted]

Is Ben falling off?

[@magicmafiaman66]

I tried to tell you all that Baby Ben’s days are numbered. By 2025, guys like vich and BIG Dong Quang will be the norm. Ben had great timing to come into a sport kind of like randa rousey did in women’s MMA. and look what eventually happened to her as real talent started to finally compete !

[@WhitsSports]

Oh yeah, because Ben’s never played great tennis players before. Get real Ben isn’t going anywhere.

[@nickspera5216]

yea but us tennis players are adapting very quick @@WhitsSports

[@Houjixful]

what are you saying? That ben can't get better because he didn't play tennis when he was a child?

[@chubun6631]

Maybe he meant that Ben couldn't compete well in tennis for lack of talent compared to other kids. And now those more talented kids start showing up in Ben's backyard. I think PB players needs to develop their own identity with techniques and strategies tailored specifically to PB. If you play with the tennis mind set, you will have problems playing against tennis players.

[@Abbiedupre7]

@@WhitsSportssorry but it’s over, tennis players will totally take over there is no stopping it

[@JflipJedi]

You completely ruined this game by spoiling the ending!! Who is running this channel?! Use your brain. This channel always has so many problems. PPA please find better people. You’re killing the growth of the sport.

I don’t like pickleball
