Been Johns is an incredible Pickleball player and heās proven tournament after tournaments and some of them are very lengthy with near wins score taking a lot of time away from any rest that he might had gotten. And thatās what happened to Ben Johns. Just like come on, are you kidding me, He endured a lot of physical activity climbing his way at a chance of another Triple Crown and run out of steam, itās like how many games did the opponent play before beating Ben Johnās, and of course it was close games and you could tell at the end of the last game Ben was out of it, just like he ran the 26 mile marathon, done. The next time they play you will see a different game? Other favorites,, I might add Colin Schick and Connor Garnett would make a great mens team together. Just saying.
Congrats to stak
Staks serve is consistently illegal!
MLP could never. Great match!
I guess he really is human!!! Congrats to Staks, just played better than the goat today.
he's got gold over ben before?
Let's give some props to the announcers. Funny and informative, love um!
What is with these guys not hitting dead balls directly back to each other. It's always somewhere that their opponent has to fetch the ball. So childish.
Definitely a different result if every single net bounce didn't go Staksrud's way, but credit to Staksrud for the win. I think it was close to 6 or 7 points off the net.
Federico kept his composure after the miserable 2nd game and came back to win it.
This is great by every measure. All the witches that just left PPA because āJohns always winsāā¦
This keeps Ben honestā¦the pressure of ānever losingā and the tendency to grow complacent is quashed.
Itās just healthy for the game. I love Ben Johnsā¦from the first games I have watched him play 4-5 years ago. This will only serve to develop him as a leader, player, winner (and in this case loser).
Perfectly called game. Didnāt over talk and didnāt under talk. Perfect.
Wow, Fed had some elite level reach and movement that would impress a top 10 tennis player. He really worked hard on this, and surely studied and dissected Ben's game, and came up with a winning strategy to win. But… Ben will come back even better next time.
Fed. Now is #1 until you beat him. That's how I see it.
0.0 tennis players now pickle ball 1.0
Ben Johns was gassed, but Fed also played very well. Good match.
Federico played so well. Great job and hope you get more gold your way.
That was one hell of a match! Both players played incredible. It's one of those matches that no one deserved to lose.
What is this ? Ping Pong Tennis ?
Really funny game
Finally, there is someone who might be able to challenge Ben Johns consistently.
Salty handshake Ben
So no one is going to talk about how obviously illegal Staksrud's serve is? Seems to be a common theme in the Pickleball crowd, as long as the person they like is winning, they could care less how it happens.
7:07 is by far the best camera angle
good 1
Just had to come see the hilarious comments about this being an impressive sportā¦ā¦
Wow, what a great match. Down to the wire. Amazing job by both players!
