Newman Siblings take on the #1 Seed in Mixed Doubles for the Gold!

[@brianlockwood9088]

riley newman comes across as a total asshole on the pickleball court and i just love watching him lose. you did great lindsey. get a better partner. thank you ALW/BJ.

[@noelgenoway9360]

Have to agree! Yikes!!

[@perproject06]

Being super competitive sometimes comes off as arrogant and being a jerk. He’s actually very nice if you meet him in person.

[@justinmurray24]

@@perproject06agreed cuz I’m very competitive but yelling directly in the face/direction of your opponent is trash. I’ve always been taught in sports to yell towards your own team or away from your opponent when cheering or celebrating

[@TC-dw6wg]

@@justinmurray24exactly! Doing towards your opponent is poor form.

[@golfmaniac007]

you do know that lindsay complements rileys aggressive court coverage play? she knows rileys game more than anyone. she is an assister and knows her role. lindsay just needs more pro play since she has been out for awhile.

[@johnsanders3501]

So the Newmans don’t tap after game one and two looking pretty childish doing so. . and then Riley snubs AL at the end. Riley just might be the Patrick Reed of pickleball.

[@yw2001]

Because Riley lost the last ball from AL, he decided to snubs AL.

[@ewob52h74]

Agreed. What a baby he is.

[@johnsanders3501]

Riley is ridiculous. If he had any credibility people might have followed suit on the mid match taps. . . but no one wants to be associated with him. Hopefully he will find a way to save face and get out of this reputational tailspin he has gotten himself into.

[@noelgenoway9360]

@Aaron84 Have to agree. RN is talented but a jerk!

[@noelgenoway9360]

@@johnsanders3501 Well said!

[@YoungJayGame]

You say "yeah!!" when you smash and get a point, but not when your opponent make mistake.

[@kayakair1]

One of the greatest inhibitors of athletic performance is the fear of losing! Riley... your biggest obstacle is your prospective and thus your behavior on the court!

[@georgiawalker4320]

Excellent pickleball. Great to see Lindsey competing again.

[@DaveLL500]

I get it that you don't want to tap paddles until after the match is over, but dismissing an opponent because she beat you on match point? Who's the petulant 16 year old here?

[@ronp5615]

My assessment is that ALW is superior to the others in terms of raw skill and talent. One thing you can't teach or learn, however, is height. Amazing skill from all of these athletes.

[@genie7172]

Nice video! Thank you!

[@isThisTaken]

37:08 was this a nvz fault by Ben? Looks like his first step was into the nvz before he then hits Riley's return out of the air

[@jkeiffer]

Not sure. Since he seemed to establish both feet on the court before hitting the overhead it's probably legal. If he had pushed off like he did and didn't reestablish both feet on the court it would have been a fault. But that's just IMO.

[@isThisTaken]

@@AMurderOfLobs I saw it happen in another ladies doubles match and was also surprised when lobs resulted in multiple foot fault calls. The reason was the same - the player's first step to hit the lob was a small step forward into the nvz which resulted in being called by the ref on it

[@isThisTaken]

@@AMurderOfLobs that makes sense, and the rules also indicate that's the case. It seems like the ref has to decide if a full extra step occurred before the step where the ball is volleyed. The lobs in that other ladies match where faults were called must have been not quite as deep resulting in only one or two smaller steps before hitting the lob.

[@walliegirl2]

From what I see, that as this game continues to progress, it will be more like ping-pong than tennis. You can see it in this match and watching Dylan Frazier and JW Johnson.

Holy shit that is the most boomer joke ever

[@judymckee5992]

Need to buy the paddle that the Newman is using. Great and entertaining game.

[@rickyrougs]

no point in watching mixed doubles if the dudes are just gonna hog the court the whole time

[@jamesmartenson8203]

It is called stacking and it is a classic mix doubles strategy. The women are making plenty of great shots.

[@pickleballer1729]

Why only two out of three?

[@iantercero5380]

Because on ESPN. They only had an hour… trying out pickleball.

[@garycarr8960]

Should have been first to 3 games

ben the ball hog

[@jamesmartenson8203]

Ben and ALW are stacking, a classic strategy in pickleball. Having him take most of the balls on many of the points is their strategy.

[@Kyleforthe3SIKE]

@@jamesmartenson8203 So their strategy is ben the ball hog. Doesn't make it any better.

[@Hashst3ven]

@@Kyleforthe3SIKEits ben johns lmao you want him to ball hog

[@noelgenoway9360]

Remember ALW 4th high level game today, so he is giving her a rest

[@user-wg9ku6tn4o]

Lindsey Newman the weak link on the court. So many mistakes

[@deucebarkley5612]

Lindsay is no way a pro . It’s sad to see her bro just Bogart all her plays . I know these two from Wa state . She is mediocre at best !

[@jamesmartenson8203]

She and Riley beat the two best players in the world in the second game. She is an outstanding player

[@ezramaus9893]

I honestly hate pickpeball

It’s just a game bro
