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.😊
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
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.
Ben is not only a great player but he's got a heart of gold. Not many players would be willing to challenge on their own point just to make sure they deserved their point. Hats off to him.
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'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 doubt you faced a true 4.5 singles player. Singles is the outlier in pickleball. Most players won’t touch it. They guy you played that said he was 4.5 was probably referring to his doubles rating and doesn’t play much singles. Also, always be careful when people self-rate themselves to you and take it with a grain of salt as most people overrate themselves out of pride and ego.
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
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?
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
@@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.
@@simthai173 because youre not agile enough to cover the full court so you play a pingpong version of tennis, not to mention this game does not involve skill lmao.
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.
@@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.
@@BigRed22_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

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

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.
Singles are waaaaay better than doubles to watch.
I'm surprised Federico was allowed to wear those ball-colored sleeves.
Ben is not only a great player but he's got a heart of gold. Not many players would be willing to challenge on their own point just to make sure they deserved their point. Hats off to him.
What a great match! Fun to watch
I'm suprised they let fed wear that yellow shirt that matched the ball.
Best playing by John's, everyone uping the level of play.
Great Character;
Great to see Ben Johnson very CALM and Cool always;
best Character.
Ben's so good he gives away his own challenges to his opponent.
John Bens is coming for all of you!
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.
Stuckrud a great Argentinian player!
too good from Ben
Pickball players are bothered by the crowd moving? Soft.......
Yay!
Have you guys hear about ''touchtennis''???
what happened at 9:24 ? I dont understand
I think the ball hit the net and went out
He wants people not to move? Wow! What a jerk!
I want these two to play doubles together. Or either one with Sock.
Nice match!
Well Done Ben!
what paddles are they both using?
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
Unless its doubles@@drwill439
❤
Have anyone hear about ''touchtennis''??? 1:46
So Let is considered and the player has to serve again, is that right ?
😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
this reminds me of 70s badminton
i hope this sport becomes more exciting in the future
Single is so much fun to watch. Double boring af

Pickle ball is soooo far off from ping pong 🏓

@@bobbyknight9709 Or maybe, ya know, the guy wasn't telling a lie and your just being a downer.
15:43
At 10:54, the serve hits the net, and the referee said "net, replay". Is that the rule? In amateur games, we never replay.
That 8 point for ben in second game was out
Better player wins, ben
The service system is just like the old version of Badminton, isn't it?
singles need to be on a smaller court.
I only watch singles idk why this sport is doubles focused haha
Lady at 22:57 for sure got money on Ben 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
These sports where the crowd has to be quiet, or not move. 🙄
Fed stepped into the kitchen and on the line with his foot multiple times when the ball did not bounce in the kitchen…is that allowed?
Someone please explain 9:25
It looks like it hit his paddle but it actually hit the net before going out
HE GONE!!!! lol
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

No. Not from this one match. But he's got good sponsorship.
wait why arent there line judges and you have to call your own balls lol

As a tennis player this crap looks so easy comapred to tennis i could probably beat them after like a month of intense training
yeah me too..
You probably do not need intense training but…..
Thats why people are switching. Bye bye court.
ben johns wannabe
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.

I agree, the talk WAY TOO MUCH and ruin the play, we don't need to know a ball is out and then an opinion of why. PLEEEEASSSEE less talk!
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.
is this a parody?
lady sport
Stupid sport 😂
play a real sport. Tennis.
Why the tennis courts are empty and picleball full?
@@simthai173 because youre not agile enough to cover the full court so you play a pingpong version of tennis, not to mention this game does not involve skill lmao.
The paddles and balls cannot change characteristics because of temperature! Weak!
Of course they do.
bro this nga can shut up
Soooooo boring
I agree , I feel sleepy watching this
2 of the worst commentators... plz find new ones!!
Joe rogan and jon anik?

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
