The Pro Mixed Doubles Bronze Medal Match features two experienced and talented teams. Watch the hard-hitting duo of Matt Wright and Lucy Kovalova compete against star pros Anna Leigh Waters and Tyson McGuffin.
AL Waters is so mature in the way she carries herself despite Matt Wright acting like Matt Wright, that is, always in your face with his opponents. Even a fifteen year old opponent!
The person singing the national anthem needs to learn the lyrics better. Toward the end, she replaced some words with other similar sounding, but wrong words. Sadder yet is the fact that no one else noticed this, or they were too afraid (or polite) to mention it here in the comments, or maybe they just don't care. Otherwise, she sounded great and hit all the correct notes in this very difficult song to sing, so I'm applauding her.
Your life must be miserable if you are crying about how someone messes up a song you know you wouldn’t have the confidence to even sing in front of all those people
@@bitcoinandinvesting because men are better than women so he wants as many shots as possible in the rallies. Before anyone gets offended, I’m not pointing this fact out to be provocative, I’m just answering the question truthfully.
So at first watch I’m like it’s mini tennis and this is boring at first then I realized how addictive it is to just watch. The close proximity and hand and eye coordination has to be so on point. It’s sounds like ping pong but looks like tennis. Pickle ball or Tennis Pong? I think I like it.
Pickle ball is more like Ping Pong + Badminton. It's got 80% badminton moves (drop shots, lobs, and overhead smashes) and 20% Ping Pong moves (bashes and smashes).
Personal trainer here: Anything that gets you off the couch. BTW: think of baseball players in a "no hitter" game or low scoring game [which is very common] Pickleball players at least have to move.
They should change the game so that all players just stand at the "kitchen" and do away with the rest of the court. They could then fit 3 courts in! It's not like they use the blue bits anyway.
PB will wreck your tennis play since it is so much faster, and slices are rarely used by top PB players. Also, serves in PB doubles aren't much of a factor, unlike tennis.
On Waters' serves, does she appear to impart spin to the ball before striking (rule 4.A.5)? (Edit: never mind, this was banned in 2023, so in 2021 it was legal).
Matt Wright is old as hell, but he can really play. He could have played on the pro tennis tour in doubles when he was younger. Interesting to see if Anna Leigh tries to play on women's pro tennis tour. McGuffin looks a little bit like Fabio Fognini.
Please the lady on this great talk , plz do not talk over Gabor or jump in when he talk. His response are to valuable to be interrupted. Plz b humble n patience till his dine. Less is more. 🙏🏽👍🏽
@jacobswift7473 going to be easy money for him once he retires from tennis. He is one of the best doubles players in the world. Imagine if Nick Kyrgios took pickleball seriously
OMGoodness. Even pickleball has to have an American flag display? Geez. Why? People don’t know they are in the USA? American teams are playing teams from elsewhere? Pickleball is courting sponsorship from military recruiters?
WTF is this? The pre-requisites for playing this must be owning a condo in Florida, a sailboat more than 30ft in length and a golf cart instead of a car. Don’t forget that you can’t play unless your name is Chase, Brad, Karen or Stacey.
