MIXED PRO GOLD 2024 US Open Pickleball Championships

[@billsanders3310]

The camera work on these Gold matches is exceptional. This is the first time the choice of camera lens from the end of the court has shown the play in the right perspective to see what the game really looks like...fast and up close. Other channels make it look like the court is huge and we who play know it isn't. All of the camera work is excellent and the production crew brings it all together. Now pickleball coverage is right up there with more established sports. Keep it up and maybe share your expertise with other channels.

I’ve never seen JW and ALW smile so much. Nice to see.

[@PickleballChannel]

We noticed that as well! Love to see it.

[@subaychitnas]

Great game! Fudge needs to stop reaching in to get the ball out of the air. She is popping them up for Johnson to put it away.

[@felicitymoss6783]

Don't think I have seen JW smile as much as he did in this game.....nice to see

[@Prydesterr]

The production quality of this match compared to PPA championship court matches is unrivaled

[@PickleballChannel]

Thanks so much! We have great partners at the US Open and it helps that we have been doing this for ten years.

[@WisGuy4]

Think JW is playing with a stock Franklin paddle? Or do you think he gets it made custom for him? Or, do you think it’s a different brand with the Franklin logo slapped on it? Tennis players have continued playing with their old rackets with a new sponsor’s logo painted over it or a new model colors painted over an old model. During his first several years as a pro, Tiger Woods was sponsored by Titleist but used a Ping grip on his putter with the white Ping logo blacked out with a Sharpie. Seems like with all of the smaller pickleball paddle companies coming out with outstanding paddles that outperform the big name brands, it wouldn’t be surprising if JW found one that he liked and had Franklin slap their logos on it. Franklin seems like they’re a year or two behind the rest of the paddle manufacturers.

Love this game. Brings in the more exciting Net/Volley game which is a almost lost dimension in Tennis.

[@PickleballChannel]

Exactly!

[@BrayZap]

See it's a great concept and everything but it needs to be a longer/bigger court or the kitchen needs to be pushed back further. All everyone does is runs up to the net and are slamming it back and forth, it removes all aspects of getting good hits within/inside of the court and you're just slapping it back and forth takes the fun and skill out of it

[@MrSnead801]

This was a clinic from ALW… holy smokes that was good

[@tookymax]

What's going on? All four players, the refs and the commentators missed a serve error. The score was 9 - 2 and Daescu did 1st serve at 13:12. They lost that point and Daescu then also served 2nd serve at 13:28. Fudge should have served at 13:28. Am I wrong?

[@PickleballChannel]

You caught a mistake! And Megan was supposed to serve first when they got the serve at 13:12. Daescu was ok to do that second serve at 13:28. Everyone just missed it. Good eye!

[@WisGuy4]

Wonder if JW was actually Waters’ first choice for a partner in this tournament or if it was Daescu, but he was already committed to Fudge. Obviously, from the results of game one she’s not regretting her decision for the tournament at least. I wonder, though, if ALW switched partners, if the score wouldn’t have been the same with Daescu at her side and JW playing with Fudge. Really weird shadows on the court with all the small circles of sunlight poking through.

[@RichardsWorld]

OK, now I want to see JW be partners with Ben Johns.

[@lucyli1742]

Dylan Frazier is very good for JW, fast hands.

[@offthefront7537]

Finally, someone wearing a decent pair of socks. Thank you Andrei.

[@usamac4108]

What shoes was Daescou wearing?

[@lanhoàng-f2v]

very good

What paddle is the guy in the blue shirt using???

[@PickleballChannel]

He uses a Proton paddle.

[@austinZen8800]

excellent video quality, thank you! but please back off of the saturation or vibrance a bit. the colors are way way too bright.

[@PickleRelax]

love thí game

[@Melodie007]

Camera work❤

[@PickleballChannel]

The entire team (Pickle4, Digital Wave, Pickleball Channel) works hard to make it look great for the viewer!

[@ariadzmin]

New to the game but I read that stepping on the kitchen line is a kitchen fault but at 7:28, top left guy has his feet in the kitchen even before the ball hits the kitchen, wouldn't that be a kitchen fault? Another instance is 11:00, and 11:07, 11:29, 12:44, 12:51. Like, just so many. Has there been new rules since?

[@alejandroiglesiashernandez5236]

Welcome to pickleball! You can be in the kitchen as much as you want - you just cannot volley while standing there. Watch this video to help ➡️ Three Myths about the Kitchen kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5LGqZuMpq2trLsfeature=shared

My mother was a champion tennis player. My father played ping pong at an international level. He was the first person to visit China in a million years.

[@naufalasyraf4355]

Ping pong tennis isn’t?

[@BrayZap]

Pickleball is a fun sport and concept but I wish they made the court slightly bigger/ push the kitchen further back. All that happens is everyone runs up to the kitchen line and are right in eachothers faces. It doesn't make it interesting anymore and you don't need to hit good shots anymore

[@123456crapface]

You mean tennis? Lmao you’re all clowns

[@CptBagels]

@@123456crapface LOL

[@boogerdawson25boogerdawson61]

I like the size of the court and that’s why I don’t play tennis because it’s too big.

[@johnpowers2837]

Have to learn the LOB SHOTS my man! It backs people off the kitchen line… 👍😄

[@BrayZap]

@@boogerdawson25boogerdawson61 people aren't getting what I'm saying. The court itself is fine, they just need to push the "kitchen" back further so everyone isn't crowding the net and just whipping line drives at eachother back and forth. It feels more like ping pong

[@lemcortez]

Well Fudge! Great match, Daescu needs a better female partner.

[@roosterqmoney]

Didn't seem like either of them was all that good

[@roosterqmoney]

I mean compared to their opponents. Way better than me

[@gigeo48]

where the hell is Ben Johns?

[@PickleballChannel]

Ben is contractually obligated to not play anywhere but PPA and MLP events. He is not allowed to play anywhere else.

'some people might be living under A rock " dude your sport makes zero sense scoring wise

[@PickleballChannel]

The scoring is tricky. Patterned after a mix of volleyball, badminton and tennis. Takes a while but eventually you get really good at it.

[@DonnieToys]

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
