Maybe Federico was being nice and spotted him 6 points.

If Ben John's has more letdowns early in these tournaments and Staksrud is more consistent getting to finals he may be the best at the end of the year.😊

Classy move at 21:00 by Ben Johns to request to challenge his own call when Fed was out of challenges.

In the first game, Federico Staksrud provided a glimpse of what is to come in the near future. While in the second game he struggled to replicate the same angle and speed, it's clear he possesses the potential. With more training to enhance his stamina and consistency, he's poised for growth. On the other hand, Ben exhibits remarkable composure and calmness, even during the most challenging matches. What stands out is his ability to reset himself after each point. Moreover, he consistently displays politeness and generosity in his call-outs when opponents have doubts. This isn't just a product of hard work and luck; it's a testament to his character as a true sportsman

What is to come is obviously already here. Speed and athleticism are not nearly as important in pickleball as in tennis. The courts are small.

So what are you saying, that the overall dominance of this match by Ben Johns is a thing of the past? 😂

Staksrud's speed (and endurance for that matter) is out of this world!!! Alas, Ben Johns has the upper hand in overall finesse, consistency and the ability to read/anticipate his opponent's moves.

@@PickleballTrendsyeah, I didn’t know the outcome in advance so thought John’s was gonna lose based on how he was being dominated in those 7 points.

Ben's so good he gives away his own challenges to his opponent.

What a great match! Fun to watch

Great Character; Great to see Ben Johnson very CALM and Cool always; best Character.

I'm surprised Federico was allowed to wear those ball-colored sleeves.

Best playing by John's, everyone uping the level of play.

Yay!

I'm suprised they let fed wear that yellow shirt that matched the ball.

Lol there is no way Joola is gonna drop Staksrud because he complained about the grip. They're just gonna let him walk to another paddle sponsor? Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh right.

Can the PPA please stop with the spoilers. “Anna Leigh just won another triple crown” I guess now I don’t need to watch women’s doubles, mixed doubles, or women’s singles😖

I want these two to play doubles together. Or either one with Sock.

I'm 40 years old and played ping pong for the army. I played pickleball 5 times now and I JUST beat a guy with a 4.5 score pretty badly. If this game would of been around 20 years ago who knows. Can I make a run at the age of 40? I'm going play today against another guy who is near pro level. We'll see how I do.

No. Not from this one match. But he's got good sponsorship.

The PPA broadcasters need to LOWER THE VOLUME of the commentators and increase the volume on THE ACTUAL GAME. It's impossible to hear the ball when the commentator's voices are so loud and distracting. It's important for viewers and fans to be able to HEAR the pickleball and how hard it is being strucK. There are also the sounds that the players make whether through physical movement or vocalizations. SOUND: IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE GAME OF PICKLEBALL. GIVE US MORE PICKLEBALL SOUND AND LESS IRRITATING COMMENTATORS WHO DETRACT FROM OUR ENJOYMENT OF THE SPORT.

I actually liked the announcers in this one. I felt that they have passion for the game and can see the beauty in it. For me the referee got on my nerves. He makes the calls like a damn horn and every time he said the score I’m like damn shut up. Get a referee with a calmer voice will help a lot

I really dislike it when a player makes a great shot and Mr. Announcer (Diddley Dave) feels compelled to make a droll statement such as "Stop it..." ! What other sport has a commentator so banal? I can appreciate his knowledge of the game but his clumsy Indolent observations are outright pedestrian.

Calling Staksrud “Fed” is such a slap in the face to the real Fed, Roger Federer. Shut up Dave or whatever your name is. SMH!
