[@rayboyajian1786]

Good solid 4.0 match…a little one sided but good play all around.

[@kuinievans5586]

What court is this taking place at? Seattle ?

[@vaunnlitchfield4660]

The Washington State Pickleball Senior Games were held at Rainier Vista Park in Lacey (Olympia area)

[@McLovin1759]

Debate on levels aside, both teams had the same game long strategy to target the female partner. Neither team employed any element of a stack to try to counter/confuse the opponent’s obvious strategy. Hopeful, they have considered using stack variations to counter this. A bigger question is this good for the game from a tournament perspective at more developmental levels like this. It’s boring for the stronger player and frustrating for the one targeted. Probably leads to fewer tournaments played

[@thecontralawrian7575]

This isn't 4.0

[@peteherrera1502]

I wish people would be quiet and just watch the match.

[@user-mz3mo8ee4r]

Pink shorts is a killer. Awesome match

[@PickleballRecall]

Ref missed the incorrect server after the timeout at 6:50

[@mikemartin7419]

Yep, should have taken a point for that. The woman should have been serving from the left side at 7-2-2

[@attyatt6504]

Yup but she awarded them to after the switch over

[@giovannidavinci20]

Com'on, I don't think they're at 4.0 level. They look like between 3.0 and 3.5 to me.

[@echochapman7657]

The woman in the pink skirt might be 3.5 on her best day, but the others are all solid 4.0's

[@donw5485]

i consider myself a 3.5 but after watching this I’m a 4.0+

[@CharlesBrodheadIII]

I've played with Campbell, the lady in the pink shirt, and she's obviously 4.0+. Great placement, touch game, and strong accurate drives. She also knows that not every overhead needs to be a kill shot so long as it can keep the opposite team off balance.

[@DaShap]

@@echochapman7657I was about to type that assessment. Men 4.0. Winning team female 3.75-4.0

[@chrislafountain]

Totally agree. Closer to 4.0 at DUPR level than 4.0 USA Pickleball ratings.

[@kathy9759]

The guy in the red shirts seems like it’s all him !!!!and doesn’t care!!

[@tombishop8083]

Pink skirt player is 3.5 at best....on a good day.Fine for rec play but the obvious weak link in tourney action.

[@olegyamleq7796]

11:12 concerned expression during the walk back, dude starting to lose a bit of faith in his partner. :-)

[@royhintz6647]

One in pink maybe a 3.0 somone needs to show her how to grip paddle for starters

[@J3staG]

no shot

[@olegyamleq7796]

1:28 i find it odd that, in general, women players can not hit winners when they get the chance. and again, 2:56, woman hits tepid shot and man hits winner. 9:47 again, 11:49

[@valeriepaul6348]

I can and do hit overhead winners because I practice them. I also have the motion down from tennis

[@olegyamleq7796]

go get 'em :-) @@valeriepaul6348

[@nihilus1626]

​@@valeriepaul6348And that's exactly why you can, you come from tennis. It's that much harder for ppl without tennis backgrounds to get off the ground in this sport.

[@kathy9759]

I don’t really believe they are 4.0 players!!!!

[@vaunnlitchfield4660]

What level do you think they are playing at or should be playing?
