I call this match. "The first domino" match. I hated to see this match happen as I am a HUGE Ben John's fan. For the first time, Ben was pressed and pressed hard. This match showed the Pickleball world, Ben was beatable. We know you eventually lost this match, but the wound inflicted by that one win during this match dealt a long term cancerous wound that eventually would bring about a new era in Pickleball. Regardless of how your career ends, and even though you haven't YET reached the success Ben had, I suspect history will eventually put you down (at minimum) as the Buster Douglas of sorts of Pickleball. I hope to see a more detailed analysis of this match if possible.
