Um, in the match I saw Fed is the Man…he’s never played better. Made beating Quong look effortless. Phenomenal!

[@ScottT109]

Agree that line judging in finals play needs to be better. Not just the players deciding but a judge on each line or artificial vision system used

[@richardlee1972]

All of the battles Federico had with the GOAT have paid off big time.

[@arautus]

Total domination!

[@ricosavage13]

Wow. Bravo Federico. After Duong beat Ben I didn't think this kind of whipping was possible...

[@stevenyoung6623]

Hard to play with bad refs. Quong beaten by crucial challenges with wrong calls by the refs as well.

[@SalseroCoreano]

yeah Fed was a beast....like Fed even gave him a freebie at 5:04 and couldn't take that one. hope QD comes up with better strategy next time. if Fed plays like this against Ben John, I think Fed would win. Why is he making so much mistakes against Ben Johns anyways?

[@mattmcgrath5513]

@5:04 Fed what are you looking at??😭

[@TheJohnh24]

5:05 Ball was very out!

[@mikealTuan]

Yes

[@tbillful]

Hey PPA , stop speeding up these replay videos. Real time speed please.

[@kushbd]

Fed seems like a great guy! Good match. Lots of quickness on that court.

[@WilliamBrownGuitar]

Announcing was so much better this match.

[@BigReen11]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@THEspindoctor84]

great match. I think Quong needs to vary his game a little bit, though. Sure, you can be mostly a power-player, but you need at least SOME of the soft game. Right now he's like 95/5, and I think it would benefit him to change that to maybe 80/20. Crushing ground strokes when someone is well positioned at the net is not a winning strategy. Sure, you'll hit some impressive winners, but generally you'll get beaten by your opponent's volleys.

[@gambler213]

It was a total wipeout!

[@MrMattStat]

To whoever makes these videos please add additional time so you don’t know who wins or loses…. 10 minutes in you can tell who’s going to win the second round because it’s only a 20 minute long video.

[@TheJohnh24]

8:16 Ball was out!

[@Luckyz]

The referee shouldn't call "nonono" when the ball is in the air, even if it seems clearly out. The opposing player might misjudge and attempt to hit the ball.

[@MikhaillllKing]

referees never say "nonono". It's players who are saying that.

[@TrioTunes81]

5:04 was out?!

[@anupshah9779]

very clean shots from Federico. Not sure why he gets distracted and looses control when playing against Ben Johns. I guess missing consistency. overall like watching his game.

[@davewolfe9407]

Loses, not looses

[@tommyhoang3625]

how come they played best of 3 in the finals? Isn't it usually best of 5?

[@lealyk5815]

Singles best of 3

[@tommyhoang3625]

@@lealyk5815 thank you

[@TheJohnh24]

8:29 Referee mistake again! This has to change! Referees have to be more accurate! One mistake per game is too many!

[@real_mevo]

Bro I dont understand, does the game not generate enough money to use the technology used in tennis??? AND WHY TF IS THERE NO LINE JUDGES???? THESE LACKINGS OUTRAGE ME

[@jamesdacus7367]

Bro if players are beckoning for judge help, get these guys help. Spend less on shot commentators like this old guy that just bashes the players the whole time and invest in a better judging system where their faces aren’t buried in iPads the whole time. Line having a fault judge and a separate set of line judges. At least for finalist matches my god HAHA at least the video quality is getting better recently. For a while it was seeming like USA pickleball was trying to sabotage itself

Couldn’t agree more the line judges have to be implemented they shouldn’t be worries about calling there own shots

[@murali1754]

How do these refs make such outrageous calls consistently every match AFTER doing a a video review!?

[@stevenyoung6623]

Every single challenge result is wrong. Amazing.

[@Alicesyn30]

Spell Quang’s name right, PPA smh..

[@chubun6631]

I wonder how you spell his last name? Is it a hard D like in David or a soft D like in Young.

[@aznballaboi4life]

Happened twice against JMV

[@MikhaillllKing]

@@chubun6631 it's "z". Zuong

[@TheJonbonesjones]

Quong Dong is the only player I’ve seen who stays back on the baseline when he’s receiving the serve lol. Feel like he could be winning a lot more points if he moved up instead of trying to play it like tennis 😂

[@Bob_DaBuilder-i3x]

....he beat ben johns in quarters, you do know that right? your opinion has no merit.

[@TheJonbonesjones]

@@Bob_DaBuilder-i3x and look how many points he lost against fed staying back on the baseline lol

[@Bob_DaBuilder-i3x]

@@TheJonbonesjones Then why didn't Ben Johns beat him too? Are you saying Ben can't beat someone who makes fundamental mistakes?

[@Qpyx196xn]

You must be a nooblet. He runs up almost every point when he is receiving.

[@SalseroCoreano]

is it just me, or did QD just get owned by Fed? that first match score of 11-6 doesn't show how dominant Fed was. Fed's read and ball placement against QD on both matches were ridiculous.......

[@Jason-ee3yl]

Dont be a clown QD is 18 and will only improve not even a impressive win considering it was a 2 seed vs a 10🤡

[@shawnwsl]

i have so much questions about QD's serve.. any ppa pros or 5.0s above can tell? lol eventho his paddle head is dropped but the balls are above his waist when i slow it down.. hmmm. i used to serve like this but i keep getting called out saying its illegal

[@yipai8628]

Duong should learn from Federico, use strategy 1 (shot same spot on right time). I am waiting for Duong win champion next time.

[@newjackcity2054]

I guess matchups really matter whenever Ben johns gets beat early Federico seems to beat the guy he lost to but he can’t beat Ben

[@gardnercalibuso]

😅😅😅 double bagel , nasty

[@luxon4]

quong handed this to fed by taking out ben, fed's record against ben is atrocious so it was a free win for him

[@dennispham668]

just wait till he beats Fed in the future xD

[@gambler213]

This match pretty much proves that Ben was burned out in his loss to Quang. Ben won a total of 8 golds in the 5 weeks, including 3 golds in singles vs the man right here who dominated Quang preceding their match.

[@chubun6631]

Possibly, but it is also the matchups. Duong always does well against Ben and poorly against Fed. Somehow Fed can handle the tennis style of plays very well and has little trouble beating Duong, Sock, ... while others like Ben, Tyson seem struggle a bit.

[@gambler213]

@@chubun6631 Did you forget Ben handled him easily a little over a week ago? Ben does lose occasionally, and he was clearly off his game a few days ago for good reason. He plays much more pickleball than anyone else because he plays so much more. He dominates every division.

[@chubun6631]

​@@gambler213 IIRC Ben lost the first set. Wouldn't call that easily. Again, IIRC Fed beat Duong 'easily' every time not occasionally when they met.

[@gambler213]

@@chubun6631 The last two games were 4 and 6. The people who bring up Ben losing never take into account he's playing many more matches than anyone else in the tournaments.

[@chubun6631]

Just compare that match to this match, and to me it's quite clear that Fed is much more comfortable playing against Duong compared to Ben. If for every lost you blame some external conditions, not only you disrespect your opponent but also disrespect yourself and your ability.

[@AlexGarcia-ux7xv]

Duong looking at his dad after every single point bugs me so much

[@wpo1956]

Fed just saved pro pickleball, If teenagers take over no one will watch.

[@ruthau7999]

What year? Is this a re-post? PPA who is in charge is stupid ...APP is better.

[@andrewgarcia2868]

Played yesterday

[@THEspindoctor84]

it's not a repost, this match happened yesterday, 4/14/24

I don't know why these players wear arm sleeves lol
