This "sport" could be more exciting if the following tweaks were made. 1, promote singles play instead. Pickleball court is too cramp for 4 people. Leave that for the seniors and the children. 2, get rid of the kitchen line. I can't stand that thing. 3, Improve the equipment so there's more pace and spin. One more thing, make the game play more like a combination of tennis, table tennis, and badminton. This might require significant changes but the game will be more athletic and more exciting to watch.
@@jcpenny3606 What you're describing there's actually a sport called Spec Tennis I recommend to check it out! It's played on the pickleball court and it has no kitchen line, faster paced, and everything like you said!
@jcpenny3606 Thus defeating the entire point of the sport. It's not meant to be athletic. It's meant to be something that anyone of any age and fitness can play. To be honest, the biggest thing that needs to change about "Pickleball"... is the name. Such a stupid name.
this is a poor exhibition example though. Watch any of the MLP games from last weekends event in Salt Lake City if you want a real sample. Men's doubles starts at 15m ruclips.net/video/FCbIxClnJtA/видео.htmlsi=AWMrHdJ0Oo3HfLgs
@@javiersays yeah it really is just a gimmick the US picked up for another thing to promote. It does reduce the skill gap between players though because you cannot win by force and some points are just random luck lol.
When the score was 8:10 and Sharapova and Blake were serving, they weren't given the point to make it 8:11, but the game was simply continued so that Graf and Sock made it 9:10
Pickleball pros don't make much. The number one player makes around 2.5 million a year with sponsorships, the number 1 female surely is close to 2 million. But 3-5 are probably lucky to get $200K a year. Lower than top 10 is lucky to break even.
Of course bcoz they are being paid to make pickle ball more popular. At the end, the pickle ball players might earn more if the sport becomes more popular
The men were being a bit hoggish… steffi and Maria are both good enough to handle their own side. The men sometimes created a stuff up by crossing over and hogging the ball.
It’s not about hogging the ball, it’s about who has the dominate comfortable forehand side (in the case for Blake). It’s easier if the ball comes through the middle for the righty forehand volley to take it. For Jack’s case I don’t see him doing that that much, plus he’s always been known as a good doubles player and volleyer.
Graf won more titles, matches, and spent more weeks at No. 1 in a significantly shorter career. And she won the Grand Slam. When Serena came close to doing that, she choked to Roberta Vinci. Graf hands down.
You can tell that Serena Williams is living rent-free in your mind, even though you're watching a game involving sharapova and graff you can't stop thinking about Serena Williams, LOL. The truth is that Serena Williams humiliated sharpova for years and would have done the same to graff if she had the chance.
@@user02573 Serena? This woman who lost to Ruano-Pascual, Spirlea, Testud, Likhovtseva, Craybas, Srebotnik, Bartoli, Razzano, Makarova, Lisicki, Cornet, Vinci, Wang, Sasnovich, Tan, Tomljanovic in slams? Are you on drugs or just trolling? 😂😂😂
@@jeremyredding2251 THE true opponent of GRAF was the great MONICA SELES, but her career was over when Monica was 19 years old due to a stab.... With MONICA ON COURT....Graf would have won the half of what she won ! Monica at 19 had already won 8 slams ! And without the stab...it's easy to understand many other slams too. The opponents of Serena Williams were tougher than those of Graf. Kerber Halep Henin Andreescu Osaka were better than....Zvereva Conchita Martinez...Mary Joe Fernandez...and the old Navratilova !

Even the greats can have fun reinventing themselves. But this is like Tiger, Rory, Nelly and Lydia playing a mini golf match in an arena atmosphere. Takes getting used to.
I think singles is a little more exciting to watch. Doubles always turns into these dink fests and although not bad when playing it isn't fun to watch.
i think if they improved the bounce of the ball and got rid of that area near the net and let players come in then this sport would increase in attendance
Really? A sport that will get people to do sports at whatever age and keep them active? That can just be fun? Social? Sorry, if two or more of the greatest, most athletic tennis players can have fun doing it, well, you’re just wrong. It is definitely more exciting than baseball. Wake me up when it is done. I mean when the entire season is done.
Blake is the worst doubles partner ever. He distracted her in those last points. He never learned you don’t have to call it, you just take it. But telling her “you” was such a distraction on critical points. Worst partner ever.
I just don’t understand why all these retired tennis players are playing and promoting this sport. I mean once you master tennis you’d never down grade yourself to this I’d assume. I know I’d never be able to really enjoy it
For all you who think that this is easy… count up all the unforced errors that these “tennis pros” made. It’s alot. These are mistakes that pro pickleball players do not make.
terrible sport or whatever it is. When i get older, i'd prefer playing on half of a tennis court than this. But nice seeing the players i grow up wiatching.
It's a shame Maria sharapova has such a bad reputation for not being for friendly when she was at tournaments. She was not fun to be around apparently she didn't need to be that way
So once you retire from tennis and then play tennis as a hobby for another 10 years till you get arthiritis, then you play pickle ball. Is that the transition we are supposed to make😂. What are all those lazy people doing watching this game from the stands?
This is tennis for kids ,l have nothing against it to use it for kids ,my opinion as former proplayer! Padel tennis is the same but it's much faster then this and u need more skills to be good! 😂

Steffi Graf 👑🎾🙌🙌
Blake kept reaching across. I think Sharapova was frustrated 😂😂😂
Yes I noticed that too. He keeps getting into her way..
Steffi's forehand always a lethal weapon!!
Sharapova still stunning ..this woman doesnt age
Bro, she's 37 not 60.

She's aging beautifully. No longer necessary for her to be under the sun so much.
she has aged very poorly
look at her when she was 18

they need to change the rule of getting points only on their serve. unnecessarily stretches the game.
What, you got a fire to get to? Go watch volleyball.

So the title says TIEBREAK. Is the third set called a Tiebreak? Or is it because both teams got to 11 that now it's called a Tiebreak?

Graff?
@@carrerau7138 yes. The score was 10-8 and Graf hit the net. Shouldn't it have become 11-8? Or was anything wrong with the scoreboard?

Whats sock doing in the retired corner???
Incredibly boring to watch but probably lots of fun when you are 70+ and can't move much anymore....
Sharapova didn't scream in this small court 😂
Crazy idea, pay these tennis players to promote tennis.
Sock gets into the shots of his team mate
2 hand back hand with those rackets is so stupid
This really is "sickening" these former "wealthy" players do not need to get wealthier by playing this..leave it to amateurs and let them get rich!
I mean, they do it for entertaining and promote the sports, nothing that amateurs would like more than having renowned athletes play this game
HA,then let the "amateurs" keep the money
It would be SO sad if this game took over tennis, but I can feel it happening
The lazy species that we are😔😔
I'd like to know how many of the haters of this game have actually tried to play it.
One or two world-wide.
My name is Mr. Aniruddha, I love Steffi Graf. House is at Dist- Charaideo, State- Assam, Country- India.
i think if they improved the bounce of the ball and got rid of that area near the net and let players come in then this sport would increase in attendance
Did Masha lose her voice? Heard no screaming at all.
Novak talking about how tennis is in trouble and they're pushing pickle ball and you have former greats playing and promoting it.
Very interesting.

Not everyone likes pda
The only sport i would watch start to finish, not even football or soccer or basketball or boxing its Teqball
Well if you wanna keep yourself fit .you can try. But this is not for professionals.

Maybe Blake should stay on his side. I think that Maria can handle her side.
not how it works in PB. Forehand in the middle is usually key ruclips.net/video/FCbIxClnJtA/видео.htmlsi=AWMrHdJ0Oo3HfLgs
Not at all, his forehand from the base would be the best option, specially when most of the shots are stop volleys.
