@@elitedragonslayer100 Correct, still illegal. If a person volleys the ball behind the line and then his momentum carries him INTO the NVZ or touches any NVZ line then he loses the point. That's a good question. The NVZ violations often are not easily understood.
Agree. ATP pro tennis players are better athletes than PPA pro players. People in this country forget how big a deal tennis is in Europe, Asia or South America, Second biggest sport next to futbol.
Not sure what Allyce was complaining about in the end. She was obviously the target all throughout the match, but that’s fair game. Do better next time and stop complaining. Lol 😂. Great job by Jack and Anna! #OS1st2023
True - strategy in ANY sport or business is to capitalize on your strengthens and identify and exploit the weakness of the other team/organization and go for it! FAIR FAIR FAIR!!! Newman and Jones found the weakness in Jack in game #1 and exploited a 1000%!! Jack and ALW adjusted their style and games #2 and #3 and it paid off 1000%!!!!!
Wow. Jack Sock can only get better from here. He has all the tools to be on top of the game. What an impressive comeback! Sweet victory and congrats to Anna Leigh and Jack!
Talk smack or not, let your game do the talking. It’s fun to have some extra incentive between opponents. ALW was already living rent free in her head before the match started.
For anybody who doesn't know Jack Sock in the pickleball world, this is your introduction. This guy was built for doubles. I can't wait to see him in a singles match.
I think we should drop the "no dead air" rule with pickleball commentary. They never add to the game just "wow we saw some dinks!". Its not even good enough for an audio only commentary lmao
I just watched a world-class, gifted athlete give a master class in stutter-step footwork and court coverage. Riley Newman's face says it all. Current pros are thinking Sock should be removed from the Shoe. What did Alyce Jones (who I admire) say to him at the end of game I wonder? She was indeed picked on ... but that's how mixed doubles is played.
I wonder what Allyce Jones said after the match was over to Jack Sock and Anna Leigh Waters because it clearly wasn't nice. All you can see is Anna Leigh Waters say something like "I never said that"
Riley Newman is always such a jerk to his female partners. It's sad these women have to deal with him to get a chance at top level play. Nobody needs to be that way. I'm sure he has no clue what a demotivator that is. I'd guess that sooner or later he'll have no good choices.
Plain and simple ......... Sock and ALW found the grove in game #2 and there was no stopping ALW and Sock! Jones you just got out-classed by the two!!!!
Wow! Commanding performance AL and Jack. You made Riley look slow which is tough to do. Whole other level. True test against Ben and AL. Maybe AB or Lacey?
I doubt it. Roddick was never that good at the net and there are no big serves in Pickleball. Jack was playing with the best women's player by far and still dropped the first game before he started running around his backhand. Allyce and Riley's strategy of going at Jack only works if they could make Jack hit backhands, especially dinks, and keep the ball down. They could not do it after the first game and Jack's forehand just wore out Allyce. Jack is a great doubles tennis player and he has a great forehand. It's unclear if he can hide his backhand enough in Pickleball to be the best.
If the Bryan brothers play pickleball, they will be top 5 immediately. They have the fastest hands I have ever seen in tennis doubles. Jack's two grand slam doubles were with Mike Bryan. Mike and Bob won 16 grand slams!!!!!! Mike and Bob would crush Ignatowich in hand to hand duels.
Y'all seriously need to get someone from Gen Z to help you out. Like, why in the world is the first half of the second game missing? I understand technical issues. However, why wouldn't you just wait until you had a proper, full video to post this? This is especially important considering some of the ESPN2 crowd could've stumbled on this video. I just think it's a missed opportunity for a good first impression.
It makes sense. Tennis is so much more challenging and there are so many great players. Pickleball is a lot easier on the body and it's so much quicker to pick up. You can play it for many decades, unlike tennis which you can only really play competitively if you're incredibly fit and have a lot of skills.
Riley is much stronger with sister Lindsey than with Jones. Jones is a great competitor but just does not have enough talent to be competitive on such an insanely talented court.
@@Anitajohnson69 someone claims that Anne Leigh called Jones a cheating bitch during the match. so Jones came up to her and said that no one in her life ever called her that.
Something along the lines of people rather watch cornhole than you. It’s posted somewhere online what Alyce thought she heard and what waters states she said. To be honest I don’t think ALW as any reason to talk any smack as her performance always does the talking for her
@@SpicyTofu808 100% agree. We've never seen that from her. I think she could pick anyone from the stands and win with them... Although Jack played well
Lmao you mad this game is child’s play for tennis players. They targeted sock and he hit 85% of the shots. Talking about being paired with the number 1
@@MrArkham51 Who's mad? WTF? LOL. And uh... GTFO with the "child's play" comment. That's just a dumb/arrogant thing to say... but yeah, most pickleball pros have a tennis background of some kind. It's obviously much easier for someone with a tennis background to excel at pickleball because of the similarities of the two sports. And the better the tennis background, the better they're likely to be at pickleball. Did you think you were making some kind of revelation here? Dude... that's just common sense. And Sock was paired with ALW in his first ever pro tournament... and I'll say it again... "that must be nice". Not taking anything away from Sock at all here either. He's very good and he had a great tournament... but does he win with say... Lea Jansen as his partner? Maybe not.
I mean he was once the #2 doubles tennis player on the planet and his partner was #1 so its not like he’s getting carried. If anything, he looked better than ALW in this match
@@Bhaise Didn't say he was being carried. He played great. But when the female in mixed tends to get targeted and your partner is the #1 women's player in the world, that's huge. Makes a big difference. How many pros in their first ever pro tournament get the runaway #1 women's player as their partner? So yeah... "Must be nice."
someone claims that Anne Leigh called Jones a cheating bitch during the match. so Jones came up to her and said that no one in her life ever called her that.
Can somebody help me understand the rules? At 27:56, the score is 1-6-1 and Riley is serving from the right side, which I understand to be the even side. Did he serve from the wrong side or do I not understand the rules? Thanks!
When the game started Riley was on the left side, so for the rest of that game when his team's score is even he's on the left side; when their score is odd, as in 1-6-1, he's on the right side.
I play tennis competitively, funny when I played pickleball for the first time, I thought the ATP pro Jack Sock would be a beast at this game because his touch and volley skills, and now here we are
Really weird about Jack is that he has an extreme western grip. Volleys are hit in continental usually. He has super fast hands. He is so lethal in tennis doubles because of the insane RPMs he get on his groundies. He also has really good kick serve which works in doubles,
the ball slows down significantly so there are more chances to get to the ball; this counters a lot of the power and speed advantages you may have when playing tennis. And because they are playing doubles and the court is much smaller there is a lot less empty space to hit to.
In the pickleball court, here's what you'll find, Techniques to master, victory in mind. Master basics, with skills so refined, Serve, volley, dink, accuracy aligned. Position wisely, near the kitchen's space, Control the game, set opponents in chase. Serve placement matters, deep and true, Variety in spins, keep opponents askew. Communication is key, a partnership grand, Coordinate with signals, a synchronized band. Choose shots wisely, adapt to the flow, Lobs, drives, drops, smashes, where opponents go. Footwork swift, nimble and light, Reach shots faster, balance held tight. Anticipate, read your foe's intent, React swiftly, your shots well-meant. Defense paramount, return with control, Keep the ball in play, seize the winning role. Practice and play, sharpen your skills, Face different styles, embrace the thrills. With these techniques, your game shall rise, Pickleball triumph, under the sunny skies.
Proves the game kinda is still in its infancy with little competition and little maximized techniques. Pro players from other sports have practiced their game at such a higher level that they can easily cross-over. I take it in a generation or so, if the game stays popular (US only I guess, rest of the world plays the superior Padel by that time), cross-overs will be harder.
I've been watching some ccoorrnnnyy pickleball videos online of 'pro's'. This one was actually fun to watch, and the commentator (female especially) was much better then the rest. Good show.
Sock is more built for PB than tennis. How he made the ATP your finals one year and broke the top 10 a mystery. He dropped like a rock after but still no BH and very briefly cracked the top 10 is impressive. He could play doubles though. He couldn’t stay away from Chipotle though but that isn’t a problem on the PB tour. He doesn’t have to be in shape to do well at PB.
Agree. A lot of mid level college players like Ignatowich, Arnold and Alshon are so full of themselves. Any one of those three would get smoked by a top 100 WTA player in tennis.
@@Kalamabbfan In another post, I have said that India is the best place to grow pickleball. Europe is still tennis and squash, and China and Japan are really into tennis.
Interesting how pro picklball is using retired and failed tennis players as way to promote pro pickleball. Bouchard, Querrey, Sock, and others. Even McEnroe and probably Isner.
Jack is truly one all the time great tennis doubles players and very solid pro singles player. But he does not live in the world of Sampras, Agassi, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Borg, McEnroe, Edberg, etc. He still has a lot of good tennis left in him. Go to Paris Jack and kick some ass.
I get tired of Dave Fleming constantly highlighting the trash talk, chirping etc all weekend. The game is exciting enough to watch without him constantly promoting and encouraging disrespect on the court. But I do like when the disrespectful players like Newman lose.
@@phyllisrosen7637 If he retired, how will viewers know you can't smash a pickleball 15 rows into the seats like they do in tennis? And more importantly, referees will start giving out extra points for hitting the Guaranteed Rate sign.
As a tennis player, squash is the most fun racket sport I have ever played. Five major problems for squash, 1) it's expensive 2) women aren't into it 3) it's not social 4) not great for watching on TV 5) can be tough on the body. One of top magazines rated squash as the best cardio sport.
@@darwest8833 He was embarrassed by Jack Sock who was playing in his first tournament ever. Goes to show what being "one of the best pickleball players in the world" really means. NOT MUCH
@@kobayashidotmia You're entitled to your opinion, they definitely targeted Jones, but doesn't change the fact that Riley is one of the best. Jones is very new at this level but she's getting better all the time. I'm former tennis myself and love Jack Sock, he's incredible. Good on you mate!
@@darwest8833 I hear you but Jack took over the match on his side of the net while Newman sat there like a deer in the headlights when facing a real athlete. The "best" players in pickleball need to be very scared.
@@RichardsWorld Sam was a good but not great tennis doubles player. Sam was a power baseliner whose transition game in singles was mediocre. Tennis players who excel in doubles are going to be better in pickleball than tennis players who excel in singles. Jack is unique as he is strong in tennis singles and out of this world in tennis doubles. If the Bryan brothers ever play pickleball, they will be top 5 immediately, regardless of their age. Their hand speed is some of the best ever in tennis.
Sock and AL's poaching abilities are so insane it makes watching them soo much more exciting to watch than other pairings
Lmao

Jack Sock. Greatest athlete since Jim Thorpe. Do not believe? Ask the announcers. The ones with brown noses.
Jack is truly one all the time great tennis doubles players and very solid pro singles player. But he does not live in the world of Sampras, Agassi, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Borg, McEnroe, Edberg, etc. He still has a lot of good tennis left in him. Go to Paris Jack and kick some ass.
Echo is so annoying lol
ALW I hope she lose soon again I like to see her reactions 😂 she is cocky
Jones salty af
I get tired of Dave Fleming constantly highlighting the trash talk, chirping etc all weekend. The game is exciting enough to watch without him constantly promoting and encouraging disrespect on the court. But I do like when the disrespectful players like Newman lose.
I don’t see Riley as disrespectful at all lol. He is very vocal when he’s pissed at himself but he’s never irate at other players
I agree ! Fleming is too much chatter!! Wish he would retire!
@@phyllisrosen7637 If he retired, how will viewers know you can't smash a pickleball 15 rows into the seats like they do in tennis? And more importantly, referees will start giving out extra points for hitting the Guaranteed Rate sign.
both commentators were overexplaining. So after a while I started muting.
@@sidoirm That is NOT what fellow pro pickleball players say about him. th-cam.com/video/VAwqCJhzy9g/w-d-xo.html

Just popularise badminton,table tennis and squash in USA . They are infinitely better than b tech tennis that is pickleball
As a tennis player, squash is the most fun racket sport I have ever played. Five major problems for squash, 1) it's expensive 2) women aren't into it 3) it's not social 4) not great for watching on TV 5) can be tough on the body. One of top magazines rated squash as the best cardio sport.
How bad is that Newman clown?
Riley is amazing and is one of best players in the world.
@@darwest8833 He was embarrassed by Jack Sock who was playing in his first tournament ever. Goes to show what being "one of the best pickleball players in the world" really means. NOT MUCH
@@kobayashidotmia You're entitled to your opinion, they definitely targeted Jones, but doesn't change the fact that Riley is one of the best. Jones is very new at this level but she's getting better all the time. I'm former tennis myself and love Jack Sock, he's incredible. Good on you mate!
@@darwest8833 I hear you but Jack took over the match on his side of the net while Newman sat there like a deer in the headlights when facing a real athlete. The "best" players in pickleball need to be very scared.
@@kobayashidotmia I mean look at the court he has to cover when playing with A.J
Pickleball is somewhat too easy for top pro tennis players.
Jack's performance in men's doubles says otherwise. They got smoked.
@@jonarbuckle8003 100% agree. He seem to have this cockiness to him. Maybe it was Tyson rubbing off. I was happy for that team...28 seeds. 😅😂
@@RichardsWorld Sam was a good but not great tennis doubles player. Sam was a power baseliner whose transition game in singles was mediocre. Tennis players who excel in doubles are going to be better in pickleball than tennis players who excel in singles. Jack is unique as he is strong in tennis singles and out of this world in tennis doubles. If the Bryan brothers ever play pickleball, they will be top 5 immediately, regardless of their age. Their hand speed is some of the best ever in tennis.
@@jonarbuckle8003 yeah, it definitely took him some time to adjust to the game, but I'd say he did ok winning the mixed title in his first tournament.
