Tama and JW have faster hands than Alshon and Daescu. In Game 5 of the finals at Worlds, they are looking to speed up any opportunity they get.
Great reminder for amateurs- play to your strengths!

Highly recommend turning on grandstand court right now- going to a 3rd game- challenger final- winner gets a “PPA contract”

Got my hands on the new Franklin ball this morning that’s supposed to play more like the LifeTime. Anyone else play with it? Thoughts?

OK LAYNE SLEETH. Full dink bot mode in mixed to take out the #1 seed and into the semis.
I’ve waited 5 long, hard years for pickleball to get personality.
Let players play. Let people scream, trash talk. To some they look foolish, to others they look passionate.
ALW hitting 200 golds at 19 years old is INSANE. A lot has contributed to those wins- notably her hating to lose more than she loves to win and being raised by parents/athletes that get it.
So much goes into getting to the top but staying there for years is 💯 impressive.

Bruno has been playing for years- grinding it out in the background while working a job. Nice to see him have this run.
Was at the Phillies game tonight with my parents- all I could think about were ways to make pickleball better- for the fans, for the players.
The fan experience could use A LOT of improvement. And it’s going to take a dedicated, well-paid person in the seat.

Agree with Lea’s take- Christian and Hayden are the two men that seem to give trouble to ALW heads up.
I’ll add- I continue to believe it’s only a matter of time until ALW and Christian partner in mixed.
3 different pro pickleball tournaments happening in the U.S. this weekend- PPA Arizona, APP Kansas, Brickwall Maryland. Pretty remarkable to see the expansion.

Early in women’s doubles Jorja is switching up her pattern. Never getting caught just cross court dinking with Fahey. Moving the ball to Fahey’s inside foot, going line on Anna and then speeding up. Smart adjustment.
