jackmunro will become the second-ever active college pickleball player to play for a @majorleaguepb team following in collin_shick7's footsteps.

Jack was chosen 2nd overall in the Challenger Level shuffle draft for the chicagoslicemlp, meaning they're expecting BIG THINGS from the kid.

Fresh off his biggest win as a pro (APP New York City), we'll see how this college star handles the MLP!

In case you missed it, this past weekend saw John Isner – the former world No. 8 tennis player – in all his 6'10" glory 🎾🙌 playing in the #PPA Tour Texas Open.

And while his first real professional match resulted in a loss, his showing wasn't all that bad. Especially if you consider some of the other tennis-turned-pickleball premieres we've seen in the past. 🏓👏

Jack Munro and Mehvish Safdar have officially entered the chat for their place in the college pickleball Mt. Rushmore.

In the DUPR Individual Championships last weekend, Munro won a gold in singles (as the 7th seed) and men's doubles, fending off 5 match points.

Safdar breezed through singles to take that trophy and overcame 8 match points in mixed doubles to win that gold as well.

While they realistically need more college results on the national stage, one thing is for sure, they have officially entered the chat!

3 Storylines for MLP Dallas! MLP begins today and we have you covered on the top storylines going into the event!⭐ Who will make it out of the group of death? Premier Level Group A is loaded with talent and features the defending champs (Orlando Squeeze), Ben John's Chicago Slice, the Julian Arnold-led AZ Drive and the Texas Ranchers. 2 of the teams will be eliminated in group play.While the odds on favorites for coming in last are the Ranchers, the big question is who will be that second team eliminated. 1 team is leaving this tournament feeling surprised their run ended early.⭐ Riley Newman - the master at getting silver medals and runner-up trophies. Only joking here...well kind of. Riley Newman has often been touted as the second-best men's doubles player on the planet and an exceptional mixed doubles player, but those fan-given accolades haven't earned him an MLP title.His DC Pickleball Team was up 2-0 in games in the finals last MLP before the squeeze completed one of the best comebacks in pickleball history.Now the field is even tighter, more pressure has mounted and everyone is wondering if Riley Newman can prove to the pickleball world he can close matches and win a championship!⭐There's always that one player in the Challenger Level that plays out of their mind, plays better than their draft position and ultimately helps their team in winning the Challenger Level trophy. Last tournament it was CJ Klinger.Last season it was Pablo Tellez, Christian Alshon and Connor Garnett. Who's that player this time around? Emily Ackerman? Erik Pailet? Wes Burrows? The list goes on, but only one of these players will become THAT player! We'll find out starting on Thursday.

Lea Jansen explained on the 'It Feels Right' podcast the strategy with which she nearly beat Anna Leigh Waters in the singles final at the 2023 Texas Open ⬇️For Jansen, it was all about taking away the angles:🎯 She elected to return the ball to the middle of the court to eliminate passing shot angles.✅ The key was to keep these balls deep so the passing shot was coming from behind the baseline.💪🏻 Then Jansen could use the length of the court to her advantage instead of trying to play side to side.#Pickleball #Podcast #Pro #News
