The good news for the sport of Pickleball: Everyone is getting better. The bad news: is that so is Ben Johns.
lol, it’s pretty insane.. the gap looks to close and then he just improves his game and maintains the gap.
Your only real chance to beat him is the 1st time (because once he’s got notes on you, it’s game over)
@@BuffBabyLuka That's what usually happens. I've seen him lose the 1st game and win the last two because he figured out his opponent's game.
@@steven469 Lol Just when everyone thought Federico caught up with him!
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.😊
Ben Johns so good he starts the match with 6 points.
And those points are too one sided to even show 😂
I was watching it on PBTV and thought it was my fault that I missed the first 6 points.
Maybe Federico was being nice and spotted him 6 points.
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
bro get off chat gpt
@@mateobodon😂, not AI, prob someone over 50
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.
Athletic ability in pickleball does help, but the cat-and-mouse game is far more important. Ben Johns has that figured out better than anyone ever has
Yep, that's why Ben has the upper hand.
After reviewing many PPA tour videos,.. near 100% certain they're speeding up the videos.
That 7 point run from staksrud was insane
I was just about to type that same thing HAHA
@@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.
I'm surprised Federico was allowed to wear those ball-colored sleeves.
What a great match! Fun to watch
I'm suprised they let fed wear that yellow shirt that matched the ball.
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😖
Thats just how sports commentary works. And you should still watch! The matches could be exciting and fun to watch
Best playing by John's, everyone uping the level of play.
this reminds me of 70s badminton
i hope this sport becomes more exciting in the future
Want to lose all your sponsors as quickly as possible? Publicly blame your equipment.
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.
Great Character;
Great to see Ben Johnson very CALM and Cool always;
best Character.
Yay!
He wants people not to move? Wow! What a jerk!
Ben's so good he gives away his own challenges to his opponent.
❤
Nice match!
what paddles are they both using?
Stuckrud a great Argentinian player!
I want these two to play doubles together. Or either one with Sock.
too good from Ben
So Let is considered and the player has to serve again, is that right ?
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.
I played this game religiously 20 years ago
Pickle ball is soooo far off from ping pong 🏓
@@chriscruz9825 we can both agree that pickle ball is better right
Pickleball is tennis and table tennis's love child.
what happened at 9:24 ? I dont understand
I think the ball hit the net and went out
Well Done Ben!
That 8 point for ben in second game was out
15:43
Pickball players are bothered by the crowd moving? Soft.......
ik right, the clips of larry bird having the entire arena booing him and still draining his free throws is lit the exact opposite of this.
singles need to be on a smaller court.
HE GONE!!!! lol
Biggest mistakes I see with pros is playing up it’s just not good positioning volleying the balls is so random and chaotic it’s luck and chance to win. If u play back u get a lot more time to react and hit those crazy top back side spin shots
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
sounds like a you problem fn
Does anyone know how much prize money he got for winning this tournament? Andre and Steffi got $1 million for winning one match a few weeks back. Is he making anything near that?
No. Not from this one match. But he's got good sponsorship.
why was she hitting the car
where
@@is44ct37 i definitely meant to write this comment for a different video. not sure why it ended up on this one
@@PrivacyKingdoms thanks, clears up a lot lol
World number one? isn’t the sport played only in the U.S
uh no.
Pickleball is picking up everywhere, and the best players by far in here in the USA.
Like the baseball World Series.
Do the announcers have to talk ALL the time?
I've got no problem with their announcers. They're pretty good in my book.
@@arautus Sports are infinitely better when announcers talk the absolute minimum. Same with tennis. You're really not adding to the game, just let them play we have eyes.
@@YorgiGolfs To me, it depends on the announcers. I agree many of them are very annoying when it comes to sports, but these two are not annoying at all.
ben johns wannabe
The paddles and balls cannot change characteristics because of temperature! Weak!
Of course they do.
bro this nga can shut up
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!
😂😂😂 Lol omg it's just a shortened name. You don't think there are other Federico's that go by Fed in the world? Wake up.
Agreed. Find a different nickname
@@chrispaulsen5746 Wrong. Pickleball is mini tennis and the real Fed is a true sports goat! Pickleball ain’t close to tennis in skill level. That’s why.
@@infinitepossibilities337 Thank you! How about Staks
@@SixZeroPB-KC first of all it's not mini tennis. Ask Genie Bouchard. She says they are two completely different sports and they are. Regardless Fed is a nickname all over the place and a lot easier to say than Federico
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.
Tennis players turning this game into tennis. Sucks.
