@@LakeHuron Very consistent for sure. Solid player all around and I think under rated. I would put her up there with ALW, In my opinion, they are the top 2 female players on the pro circuit.
This is a game. A giant ping pong game that is no more a sport than bowling or golf. These people can't even play tennis even doubles and because that plastic ball skips thus making older folks stoop more outstretched trying to get to and they hurt in record numbers.
@@rem1762 so let me get this right...tennis is a sport, but pickleball isn't? got it. thanks Einstein. Also, you should learn to form sentences if you're going to troll...

I did the worlds first Oscar! The Oscar is when you jump over your side of the kitchen, fly over the net, hit the ball for a winner and land over passed your opponents’ kitchen line. Much more difficult than an Ernie, or Bert.
Oscar don't got no feel you silly! Better Sesame character for what you did would be a "Grover" or a "Super Grover". Would love to have seen it. Sounds cool!
They add nothing to the game nor do they describe what's going on. "That's that backhand!". "Queen of consistency, the queen of dinks!" No references to any other games, no stats, just someone sounding like they started getting into pickleball
To whoever is in charge: please ask the videographers to please please please give us spectators a side angle of the game. We cannot see what's going on from behind the players on one side! I'm begging you. As the "game" evolves, so should the "presentation." I'm asking that the entire presentation be from the side of the court.
This videography, I believe, is some of the best that's ever been done. The whole camera platform is panning and being how from the baselines some as well.
ALW should have played 2/3rds of court and had RN play other 3rd. Newman can be so much better if he learns how to play more disciplined instead of running all over the court. Irvine the weakest link of all four and isn’t even a top 10 female player. Guess that’s why BJ & ALW are the best at Pickleball today. Some really great plays by both teams. Thanks for posting.
Whoever the female narrator/moderator is...basically ruined any enjoyment of watching the game, she never shut up, just kept on talking and talking and talking. Dang lady, people just want to watch the game. We don't want a history of each player or what type grip to use. I had to turn the volume way down. She just kept on running that mouth throughout the whole match. These American moderators of games need to take a lesson from the British. The British game moderators speak almost in a whisper, softly and with much silence so fans can hear the sounds of the game.
RE your math about pitching in Baseball and Kitchen to kitchen line in Pickleball: A Baseball pitch is just a hair quicker, but then you have multiple chances to hit the ball only one time. Of course, a Baseball bat is a much smaller hitting surface than a paddle. Where that quickness really compares well is with Tennis. Despite all the talk from Tennis wonks about how lame Pickleball is, kitchen exchanges happen at nearly twice the pace of a typical Tennis rally. I've seen _many_ Pickleball rallies where ten or more shots were made in less than half as many seconds. I've only seen one Tennis rally where more than four shots happened at less than 1/2 second per shot, and that was only five shots.
I don't know how you did your math, but I doubt you're right. In baseball, we know the distance and speed. In pickleball, we are guessing both. It can be less than 14 feet when people reach into the kitchen to take the ball.
@@afterthesmash Of course, I had to do some estimation. Obviously, a baseball is travelling much faster than a Pickleball, but a kitchen exchange is at a much closer distance. If I remember correctly, I used 15 feet for the kitchen, mainly because that's an easy 1/4 of the pitching distance (The pitching mound is 60 feet from the plate, right?) And I think a pitched baseball travels at about 3-4 times the speed of a typical PB shot. It's all very speculative. I did the best I could.
Why do Pickleball commentators think we're more interested in their chatter than we are in what's happening on the court. PLEASE take some lessons from the tennis commentators.
It seems like he is handling the dinks while she is handling the hard shots. I think it is a good strategy if that is his weakness. Since there are so many dinks, he is doing most of the ball handling to setup the hard shots for her. I think it was plan.
You can really get a sense how fast and hard the guys hit when both Irvine and Waters had difficulty handling the drives! Awesome match.
Anna Leigh Waters is NOT afraid of Ben Johns! She will block his best, dink with him, outfox him, etc....An amazing young athlete!
Thank you for posting. I love it when the announcers talk over play with zero interesting info.
Irvine is a beast. Johns and Irvine will be unbeatable.
always thought they would be a good partnership. Irvine has amazing defense and consistency. I feel like that partners well with Johns.
@@LakeHuron Very consistent for sure. Solid player all around and I think under rated. I would put her up there with ALW, In my opinion, they are the top 2 female players on the pro circuit.
She was the weak link because she doesn't get to the kitchen. She kept hanging back and getting scored on 90% of the time
@@LibsareTRASH She hangs back to get out of the way of Ben Johns. ALW does the same thing when they play together.
Did she score any points in game 1 or 2? Weakest player on the court.
All four players were in top form. WOW - great 3 games! Unfortunately, there has to always be a winner!
Number one player in the world. In a sport played only in the us. Very funny.
This is a game. A giant ping pong game that is no more a sport than bowling or golf. These people can't even play tennis even doubles and because that plastic ball skips thus making older folks stoop more outstretched trying to get to and they hurt in record numbers.
This is where the ignorant kids are hanging! 😂

not true. It's played all over the world. It started in the US so it's more popular here.. You haters make me laugh.

It would be so much more enjoyable to watch if the commentators stopped yacking. Let us listen to the game!
They add nothing to the game nor do they describe what's going on. "That's that backhand!". "Queen of consistency, the queen of dinks!" No references to any other games, no stats, just someone sounding like they started getting into pickleball
Plus the commentator kept referring to Anna Leigh Waters as "Anally waters". C'mon lady.
Lots of BS from all 3.
13:12 broo let your partner get that one. respect though cuz you would demolish me
😂😂. I like your honesty!
All 4 were great
This crowd looks like they were transferred over from a Merv Griffith show.
😂😂😂😂❤
Riley is over on Water's side a lot...I'm screaming at my monitor, "Smoke him down the other side!"

Had to mute it much as she talks over the play. Just have a better timing please.
Plus they were talking so much crap and bs.
480p :( ?
Irvine is a great drinker, but she loses all of the sped up exchanges.
🍺
I wish the main view shown would be the end view, not the side view.
Annnnnnd Irvine hits the net again!
I like this team match
Irvine is the queen of consistency!? She’s the queen of consistently blowing it in key moments…
This is a pro event...was this final not open to the public? There isn't a lot of spectators in the stands. Still...great play by both teams!!!
Haha... This game is so cute
The queen of consistency? Do the commentators practice their English beforehand. Please.
damn, I have not seen a better match tan this.
Did anyone else feel like Anna Leigh was the second best player on the court? Jesse picked up her game a lot in that third set.
Why is Newman playing with Waters?

I honestly think the guys need to give the egos a break and the these ladies take some of the shots... They might win more!
B Johns serve seems to be higher than below the waist.
10:00 that’s literally karma 😭

Jesse might be out of her depth. Such high resets is killing her and her partner.
Went pro at 12???🤯

stunning
wow
I really don’t like the hogging of the ball, all players are capable of making the shots
😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😮😮
Riley Newman needs to stop hogging the ball; it's annoying to watch and obviously AL is more than capable
Literally every doubles pickleball match has this exact comment. This is how doubles is played. It's not "hogging the ball".
The better player should hit the plastic ball more and it ain't him!!
It seems like he is handling the dinks while she is handling the hard shots. I think it is a good strategy if that is his weakness. Since there are so many dinks, he is doing most of the ball handling to setup the hard shots for her. I think it was plan.
😂
this game would be better if they got rid of that dumb border near the net
Ignorant award for you kid!
Better for what? Being over hardly before it started?
This commentator
says too much
Jesse Irvine always has rbf
