@@dianallamas7135 Jorja handled AL Waters disrespect with respect as her and her brother have on the Pickleball Court as Pros. AL Waters needs lessons on courtesy to others. As an only child raised with home schooling she obviously never developed social skills among kids her age. Probably never surrounded by other kids her age . Only surrounded by adults and being an only child.. only child syndrome is obviously event. With all due respect to her wonderful mother. She does have a beautiful and talent young child that has been blessed as the youngest and top Pro PickleBall female player.. I will give her credit where credits is due.

Fantastic game! I’m loving the pressure the Johnsons place on ALW and BJ. I can admire the skill and athleticism of ALW but she’s a bit of a brat. Those two comments she made towards Jorja were uncalled for. Showing her immaturity there, big time. Takes after her mom.

If you watch, the ball deflects ever so slightly off Jorja's paddle, then JW hits it. Of course, I could be wrong; in any event great match!

[@ClaymontTimes-e9n]

Usually I like ALW even through her bad sportsmanship, but this was just insane. Saying “Ball Don’t Lie” when CLEARLY wrong is unsportsmanship at its finest. Just because she’s 17 doesn’t give her an excuse to be immature. ALW needs to get it together.

[@NNguyennnnnn]

Jorja should’ve said, “but you do” 😂

[@LyB758]

@@ClaymontTimes-e9n it’s gone to her head being the #1 youngest female Pro Pickleball player. It can be overwhelming for a kid to go through all the hype and attention. As much as it can be harmful to a young mind. AL Waters hopefully doesn’t end up like so many young striving prodigies, not being able to except failure from time to time. As AL W displays it’s not easy for her to make mistakes. It’s ok to make mistakes we learn from making mistakes by correcting them. Not by throwing tantrums as ALW likes to get attention from the crowds when she yells at her opponents. ALW needs to mature into what she has been blessed with top talented Youngest Pro Pickleball Player. ALW MUST KNOW THAT SHE IS AN EXAMPLE TO ALL THE YOUNG KIDS THAT WANT TO PLAy Pickleball LIKE HER SOMEDAY. God forbid if any young fan ever believes her attitude should be followed. Fun excitement and yelling as in being excited not angry is ok. It’s an exciting game that brings out excitement for sure. Throwing the Paddles and yelling at your opponents is not a good example of sportsmanship in Pickleball.

Such a HUMBLE family is right …..classy and relatable. The Johnsons are the BEST examples in pickle ball . 💕💕💕 I have raised four children who were all in competitive sports. Never once did one of them act like Annalee. 🙄She is a brat and entitled. It’s disgusting. That’s what spoiled kids do…..taunting Jorja was unbelievable . But she has learned her behavior from somewhere or someone who allows this. The commentators constantly play favorites (I thought you were supposed to be neutral in broadcasting ), that’s also pretty sickening too. You don’t have to constantly say how great Ben and Annalee are - obviously they are number 1 in the world. We got it …. But you did actually report the “incident” well, when calling out Annalees immature behavior. The Johnsons will get another chance at it and Jorga and JW will be ready for them !! ❤🏓🩵

AL def started the screaming after every point bit. The first few screams from Jorja were after good, long rallies. And she was looking at JW/patting him on shoulder in celebration of it.

Single child syndrome is so evident with this extremely emotional outrage this excellent young Pro Pickleball player displays towards others. As much as I know and see how outstanding of a PickleBall player AL Waters is, I must say she no longer holds her place as #1 female Pickleball player for me. I place ❤J. Johnson as one of the most overall excellent female Pickleball players along with ❤P. Todd, ❤Tyra Black and ❤Edda Wright. AL Waters needs to grow up. Still has too much of a child like attitude that is so evident and more than she can handle; as in being competitive with out the tantrum. Unless that is just her style like John M old time tennis player that constantly seeked attention just like AL Waters. Nothing wrong with being excited and yelling in joy NOT towards retaliation.
