Dang, I think that's the best I have ever seen Zane play. Nice work!

[@lebronsinclair8012]

Zane gets were next level

[@coachwalrus3158]

Cause he wears a shirt with his name on it for a team match🤦🏽‍♂️

[@antoniomars8241]

i read this right as he hit a ball into the croud, it was just perfect timing

[@TweenerKing]

Zane was balling out

[@Starry737]

Wow. This is where men's doubles gets really interesting. Congrats Alshon and Navratil!

[@millisock]

LOVE the partnership between Alshon and Zane!

[@TweenerKing]

💪

[@goldenchildtheater]

Let’s go!! Alshon and Zane played lights out. I hope Christian gets back to back golds in doubles

[@joanc551]

the most exciting match everrrrrrrrr---Navratil and Alshon were ONNNNN, they were a force field of high energy pressing forward to the kitchen for battle on every point.

[@angiedangied]

This is an awesome match from start to finish! Outstanding from Alshon and Navratil! Loving that partnership

[@TheJellitin]

The out call at 10:22 would have me heated in rec play

[@marchansen8826]

terrible call and the announcers didn't even say a word

[@eae1994]

Okay glad I’m not the only one

[@CharlesBrodheadIII]

Actually on closer look, you can see that Ben's foot that was touching the kitchen line never landed before he hit the lob after jumping. So it was the correct referee call after all.

[@charlesgraves4565]

@@CharlesBrodheadIII They are talk about the return that landed inside the line they called out

[@kb8978]

​@@marchansen8826 They did. Almost immediately. "And that wasn't even NEAR out on the last one." But they didn't mention it any further.

[@agapeliveslove1]

Those were the best / most entertaining games I've seen in a while.

[@user-kd4yo1is6y]

So fun to watch!! WTG Zane

[@bellalinda9972]

Way to go Zane! Best match I’ve ever watched! Good going both teams. 👍

[@cseckler]

Awesome to see other players winning! And such an entertaining match!

[@Dinkdifferent]

Amazing to see a team come in with a plan and watch how they execute it. Congrats Zane and Alshon!

[@ejude6513]

That was a whole lot of speed ups. The Johns have been losing lately, last one was Tardio and Daescu, now it’s from Zane and Alshon. Great game you two!

[@chongqinghotpot]

This match will be the turning point of men’s doubles in professional pickleball. Jones’ style will no longer be able to dominate anymore. Historical win!

[@jamesnorris2793]

Collin Johns was getting picked apart all match

[@BigRed22_KC]

It’s almost like he’s carried by his superior brother most times 🧐

[@coachfezz1137]

when he played mixed with AB he played right side and SHE played the left side strangely @@BigRed22_KC

[@BigRed22_KC]

@@coachfezz1137 CJ doesn’t have a ton of offense so they will get beat from time to time by teams like this who play aggressive. Ben should team up with Sock - that would be fun. Personally I think Colin is annoying but that’s just me. He’s always complaining about something.

[@coachfezz1137]

ha yeah i agree he is annoying @@BigRed22_KC

[@chea7z913]

​@@BigRed22_KC You're right but that hasn't stopped them in the past. The difference was CJ was not playing remotely near his normal percentages. He's usually really disciplined but this one got away from him. Both players have been uncharacteristically off recently. Ben with his loss against Tardio in their head to head matchup in doubles

[@christopherpolk8590]

Any body else watch these matches while at work?

[@skelthouser2730]

I see someone that needs to be fired!

[@BenjaminAndersonPickleball]

both Alshon and Navratil were super fun to watch this set. I'm a big fan of the duo. It's a shame that the Johns brothers didn't bring their A game this time around. I'm looking forward to the next time these 4 play.

[@tazkwondo]

@ 10:43 she calls a foot fault, is that because Ben stepped on the kitchen line but didn't re-establish the foot inbounds before hitting the overhead?

[@bryandbaker]

Exactly.

[@Vinko21]

@@bryandbaker i watched it 10x to figure out why there was a challenge. thank you for explaining it

[@benlynch7879]

Why did she call it there but not at 7:32 when he was in the kitchen and hit the ball

[@SneakyUse]

@@benlynch7879 he stepped out already but at 10:43 he jumped from the kitchen.

[@joemarshall4226]

Exactly

[@bethechange4726]

Zane is insanity reactive to returning attacks!! Awesome!

[@jamievidd775]

Great playing by Zane and Christian! Cute dog.

[@ScottT109]

InZanely good match! Wow!

[@anwarsadat6825]

Very entertaining. You have to play outside your comfort zone to beat the Johns brothers which is such a compliment.

[@tysonhubbard95]

Why cut out the challenges but still include commercials??? Let’s see the replays of the challenges!

[@sallad2645]

I love how at 21:35 Ben misses a 5th shot drop, and instead of pointing it out, the crew claims it's Collins' fault for hitting the 3rd shot drive. They go out of their way to not criticize this dude and it's wild. 😂 Then at 29:08 the EXACT SAME PLAY happens except its Ben hitting the drive, Zayne returninh to Collins feet, and Collin misses the drop and all of a sudden it's a "great shot by Zayne". These guys are so biased!

[@OneMoreTag]

All those Pros vs 5.0's is paying off.

[@phyllisrosen7637]

Great team Ashton and Navratil!! John’s got best!! 😮

[@hoss6981]

Love watching CJ get pissy

[@OneMoreTag]

Zane is En Fuego.

[@Goofymonkey11]

Great game

[@BookValue2018]

Alshon has established himself as a top 5 player...and perhaps top 3 now. He golded with Thomas Wilson and silvered (while beating the Johns) with Zane. Back-to-back.

[@TweenerKing]

👀

[@joshpurkiss3965]

I don't know it for a fact, but BJ looks hungover AF.

[@williamduval9856]

Zane was on his A game

[@BlGSac]

CJ got shit on the whole match

[@chrispaulsen5746]

Ben didn't play well either

[@OneMoreTag]

How the heck do they get those speed-ups back so consistently?

[@coachwalrus3158]

CJ is shittin bricks. Ben wants to snap but he’s holding it together

[@bethechange4726]

Zane for President!!

[@ardynites1733]

I have never heard of Christian “Ashlon” lol

[@roryjohnson3567]

Not many people in the stands. I thought a match like this would have a lot more fans in attendance

[@senpai_clyde7832]

It was kind of a weird day due to the weather. Matches were being played at different venues.

[@wolf-xf6hf]

This tournament always has bad weather it’s just a weird thing. Last year and the year before that both had weird weather so I just think most people don’t come

[@mrfofung]

Shame. Not a good look.

[@nortondefaria]

The time came when the other teams realize that to win against CJ and BJ you need to play a aggressive/initiative/attacking pickleball. The endless dinking battles that gave the J brothers so many gold medals will be challenged with a different style of play. BUENBA BUENBA.

[@grousehouse]

38:45 -- that's not a let cord, Fleming. CJ just didn't get out of the way.

[@calbi0404]

Johns starting to lose matches, loving it!

[@PickleballMike509]

lol that was a sick match…..

[@xSlackAlot]

"Did you see that?"" "I did not see that." Okay ref, so why are you even there?

[@Jinxman729]

Surprised they didn't call kitchen fault on Zane at 40:13

[@ljbar2015]

Who is Ashlon?

[@dylandebiasemusic]

Johns' will start losing more and more. Navratil and Alshon are clearly training more and imo both better than Colin. He got exposed here.

[@joemarshall4226]

Patriquin and others are catching up as well. Ben is still the top dog, but CJ is more hot and cold....he still has the best counter, but his mental strength is wavering

[@thinksimon]

Unbe-f-lievable!

[@TonyFieldson]

Collin not used to new glasses?

[@ShayneDavis_94]

Announcers spent the entire match just crapping on Ben and CJ. Would’ve been a lot better if the announcers weren’t just slamming them the entire time.

[@phyllisrosen7637]

Can ppa get someone else besides Fleming as a commentator!! Please?

[@Ijpxango]

Yes, I agree...he is horrible...he needs to talk less...often says the obvious.

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Why though he’s awesome. Dave flemming and adam stone are some of my favorite commentators in sports

[@ashluckett]

Fleming and stone are the best

[@bonniebowers4603]

Same kind of person who gets music banned from pickleball courts…. Long live king Dave!!!!! (And leave adam stone alone!!)

[@nortondefaria]

Fleming has ZERO sense of humor. The Mr. Obvious. Bring back Morgan Evans the best commentator/funny and smart..

[@arautus]

Christian Alshon is getting better in doubles. His singles game is at a standstill.

[@sdub86]

Are you kidding, he’s on the ascent.. I’d put him just behind staksrud at #2 in the world right now

[@arautus]

@sdub86 He was beaten by Staksrud convincingly the last 2 tournaments. Garnet should be number 3 after Staksrud.

[@TungNguyen-xr3wq]

@@sdub86he not better than Jw Corner Vinch😂 . Are u kidding me

Hope this is the begining of the end of the Johns Bros era.

Might be end of the bros one day but if Ben wants to he can get a new partner then will just keep winning

[@bestgaminghighlights8160]

So we’re just going to pretend navratil isn’t on a ridiculous amount of adderall this match.

[@MattFitzgerald-it2zp]

A bit of parity is good for the game. It gets boring watching the same people win every week.

[@Jacobgribbin]

"lets play picklball" a little cringey. sorry.

[@nuclearmusic77]

10:55 so you're telling me they reviewed that play in slow motion and called it a fault? need younger line judges smh. I watched it back at .25 youtube speed and he clearly had jumped away from the line before hitting the ball. idiots

He didn't reestablish his footing after pushing off the kitchen line.

[@ginjaninja3627]

That has to be the most depressing court color scheme I’ve ever seen. Grey on grey.

[@samuelreyes3389]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it once again Collin unfortunately is holding Ben back. I’m watching him make so many mistakes it’s honestly insane. Ben deserves a triple crown 👑. If Collin would put as much effort as Ben does it would be a completely different ball game. Collin needs to step his game up or Ben is going to need a new teammate.

[@Daniel-ox2zr]

CJ lost that one for the team!
