Hold onto your antlers, ladies and gentlemen - in a thrillingly bizarre RT Christmas special, Ian and Mark don their most festive outfits, cameras are smashed, and the self proclaimed Prince of Pickleball takes on a dynamic young D1 challenger...

So Andre Agassi isn’t a real tennis player? Gee! I wonder why there is only one player in the top ten that hits a one handed backhand? All jokes aside this was an amazing match, minus the unforced errors. Thank you for playing fellas, and thank you for posting this video.

My KZbin algorithm is going to be feeding me pickleball videos with 9 views for the next month after watching this.

Muahahaha my plan of Pickleball take over is working

[@adriantanskanen3914]

@@easty1125 diabolical. I hope your pickleball courts get lines drawn on them for an even smaller version of tennis.

Love it, great match Ian and Co. Will's backhand is lovely

[@SeireaTennis]

"Warning, code violation, Being A Dumb F***" is one of my favorite quotes on this channel, may have to steal it

[@JayRuf3438]

Great match. So fun watching these guys. I also love that they are mic'ed up, the comments are great.

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

Will really wants to be the arrogant British stereotype with all those Pickleball comments 😂

[@Cwookie_]

This was a great post-Christmas treat to wake up to! Such high level! I noticed a ton of black frames/artifacts all over the video. Maybe the 60fps export is the cause of this? I know you guys always shoot in 24fps and so are the shots in this video.

[@REALTENNIS]

Yup, still working through some kinks with the 60p production workflow. Thanks for watching!

[@joec2221]

As a Brit, I can confirm my decision-making on court is as bad as Mark's decision-making about fast-food restaurants

Love the content, great way to spend my holiday!

[@dirknc]

That's crazy with the camera again. I would suggest a cord and carabiner and hook it to the tripod and to the side net for safety.

[@mikew6345]

Will we get to see Mark vs Will? Battle of the onehanders.

[@SimonSed]

I really love Will's game, but gotta pull for a naptown kid! Get em!

[@milllworks]

Love the Will matches. Just appreciate his self talk. Both excelled in this category actually. What is that knee band Will is wearing called, and what does it do?

[@easty1125]

I suffer from a little bit a patella femoral tendinitis

[@milllworks]

i’ve got sore knees all the time on court (running, skiing, tennis on bad courts in my youth) of course I’m 71 so that could be part of it, but it almost feels like arthritis. Anyway not gonna go full knee brace but I would love something like this if it’d help me take one or two more steps on the court to run down shots.

[@TaylorJaymin]

I think it’s time to invest in some sandbags for your tripods. Watching those cameras tip over hurts.

[@Einar2008]

Don't think we'll see any of the "That's not 5.5" comments on this one. There was some really great tennis in this set.

[@REALTENNIS]

I'm shocked there aren't any 😆

[@norcalputters1027]

Bloody hell !!

[@aca99da]

I hope that kid buys you a new camera! 😂

[@tugloo1]

I'd argue that's really bad placement though. They should reserve the court adjacent to avoid accidents.

[@mxb9083]

@@tugloo1No. You never enter another court where people are playing. If a ball goes over into an adjacent court, you ask the folks on the court for ball help.

[@tugloo1]

@@mxb9083 Hard disagree. You first design systems so that human errors like etiquette are not in play. Then you rely on rules and etiquettes. This is the 2nd time the camera has broken and the first time, it was done by someone playing for Real tennis. It happened in this video around 3:40 mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKmaXpuYmdiMpaM No etiquette the first time. Just bad placement of the camera.

[@lukakozelj4615]

Not to discredit anyone. It looks like a good and interesting match, but based on that it is nice to know that I could play D1 tennis if I decided to a few years ago.

What a treat on this Christmas day! Let's see if Noah will find himself a little more in the second set! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays everyone! M

[@ReyYbarra]

Was it just me or was there a ton of transition flashes on this video ? Thought I was about to have a seizure the entire time

[@REALTENNIS]

We had a technical issue with the 60fps export of Part 1 - apologies for the distraction!

[@scottbroady3159]

10:34 will have repercussions

[@scottbroady3159]

19:07 totally undercuts your argument

[@LunarEclipsism1]

​@@scottbroady3159 hell yea, Scott, roast em

[@LunarEclipsism1]

I want to hate Will on principle because of what pickleball has done to court availability in my community, but unfortunately he's too likable as an on-camera personality and his game is too fun to watch. When he's dialed in and rips one of those inside-out forehands or a crisp backhand down the line it's the best that tennis ever looks on this channel. Well done to him for managing the set well and keeping himself from going for too much too often. If I had his shots I'd be trying to make highlight reels on every point and UE myself into oblivion. Noah was a little shakey out of the gates but he's got a great attitude and clear analysis in between games, so I'm really looking forward to set 2 now that he's more used to the court conditions. Should be a real dogfight. Thanks for the Boxing Day treat today, fellas, I'll raise a glass of 'apple juice' to you as well. Love the channel and love seeing these matchups. Cheers.

[@REALTENNIS]

Apple juice!

Y’all seem to have close ties to players in Indy, huh?

[@stewpatterson1369]

Love the content, thanks everyone for putting this out. Have to say though this is the worst editing I've seen on these videos. Cuts were too frequent and choppy, made it a lot harder to follow the game. Plus black blinks inbetween cuts, points or comments being cut off, and the music going away for the last point of the intro. Prefer the old editing style.
