With his straight-game victory over Federico Staksrud on Championship Sunday at the Atlanta Open, 🏆 Johns officially recaptured the No. 1 spot atop the #PPA men's singles rankings. 🎉 Will there be a player who can dethrone him? 🤔 Or do you think Ben won't lose the number 1 ranking for the whole of 2024? 🔝

In #PPA Atlanta, the women’s side was characterized by some controversy on calls and player reactions to what they perceived as bad calls. The disputes included a call on match point that ended the match. 🤔 Do you think the PPA should sanction referees and linesmen who make these mistakes? ⚖️

The first tournament together for Catherine and Anna Leigh in over a month – The Johns Bros are back to action. 💥 Will the rest pay off in #PPA Atlanta? #Pickleball #Pro #News

In recent years, there have always been some really good teams and some REALLY bad teams in #MLP . Just this last year, two examples were the Season 1 Frisco Pandas 🐼 and the Season 2 Atlanta Bouncers 🏀. These issues, by and large, have been rectified in 2024. GMs and owners are paying way more attention to players and their skill sets. Five teams won 50 percent of their games or more on the weekend. The other five teams either went 1-2 or 1-3, depending on their schedule. The gap is now razor thin in the Premier Level.

DC rewrote history in Dallas to become champion 🏆🔥👀 In Atlanta, we saw the same scenario, a 2-0 lead for DC. The Squeeze threw out their 'A' squad to keep the match alive. DC countered with their 'B' squad counting on a sure victory in game 4. That concept backfired when both Squeeze mixed doubles teams willed their way to victory to force an epic Dreambreaker.➡️ To avoid the same mistake in Dallas, DC chose to counter with their 'A' squad to try to close things down 3-0.✅ When the dust finally settled, it was Riley Newman leaping in the air, the DC squad rushing the court, and a 24-22 victory for DC.

Group A:👀 3 of these 4 teams made the playoffs in MLP Atlanta.😏 Bright and Dylan host a podcast called The Drop. It will be interesting to see them play against one another in group play.Group B:🙌🏻 Kawamotos against Etta Wright and Lea Jansen will be one of the best women’s matches of the tournament.Group C:⭐️ 3 of the 4 teams finished MLP Atlanta in either 9th, 10th, or 11th in the standings - 1 of these teams is going to be a first time playoff contender.🔥 This group is a story of rivalries and partnerships. McGuffin and Loong get matched up against one another again, very randomly, obviously. McGuffin is also going to play against Catherine Parenteau, his normal mixed partner. And Parenteau is playing against Anna Leigh Waters, her normal womens partner.#Pickleball #MLP #News

“I have notified the #APP Tour that after todays winners bracket final I will no longer play singles until they implement a rule change about the number of overrules per match. I lost 11-9 in 3rd set and my rival had 4 overrules that were clearly seen by the referees”, said Megan in ‘X’.“4 again - same as Atlanta tournament where I had already asked for change. A player cannot continue to cheat & hope that refs miss it and have zero consequences. Enough is enough. Time to take action. I’m retiring from singles until I hear about a change”.👀#Pickleball #Pro #News

“65% of paddles tested at MLP Atlanta failed USA Pickleball's Surface Roughness(Grit) limits of 40Rt/30Rz. MLP used guidelines of +20%- 48Rt/35Rz, due to margins of error with the testing equipment. 15 Paddles (30%) that failed were removed from play for the entire event”, reported the MLP Commissioner Brooks Wiley.#Pickleball #MLP #News

“The trend is pretty clear. The pro game is getting faster and faster. We set the 50 ADF line in the sand after Daytona. That was 2 standard deviations from the average of 69.00. Only 6 paddles were outside that range,” #MLP Co-Founder and Commissioner Brooks Wiley said.“In (MLP) Atlanta , 26 paddles fell outside that range, but the real interesting piece is how many paddles now are JUST above that 50 number. Remember also, the lower the number of ADF, the hotter the paddle”#Pickleball #News

Dylan Frazier on The Drop podcast made his predictions about Group A, where his team Texas Ranchers will face the defending champions Orlando Squeeze, Arizona Drive, and Chicago Slice.....
