This was honestly a pretty even matchup it seemed, with Mcguffin taking seven points compared to Waters’s five. I love when men and women can face each other in singles at MLP.
I'm a rule book thumper so I know what it says but I don't always understand what the poorly written rule book is saying. Would you mind detailing from a technical point of view what part(s) are illegal? And if you care to go a bit further, explain how the illegal serve gives Tyson a competitive advantage? tia
@@voiceofreason9238 4.A.7. The Volley Serve. The volley serve is made by striking the ball without bouncing the ball off the playing surface and can be made with either a forehand or backhand motion. A proper volley serve includes the following elements: 4.A.7.a. 4.A.7.b. The server’s arm must be moving in an upward arc at the time the ball is struck with the paddle. (See Figure 4-3.) The highest point of the paddle head must not be above the highest part of the wrist (where the wrist joint bends) when the paddle strikes the ball.
@@kennymccormick6309 Not sure why you're quoting the rules. The commenter said they know what the rulebook says, they just think it's poorly written, and want to know what specific aspects of Tyson's serve do not comply, and how.
I am a fan of both and didn’t mind the slanted commentary. Some incredible playing by both as is usually the case. Wishing them both health and longevity! ❤
Its because that announcer doesn't know a thing about pickleball or the players. She never says any stats, background training stories, or what makes a good serve a good serve. She just reacts and goes "and thats why he/she is the dinking king/queen".
Number one woman who is 16 would get slaughtered by a number one adult male in tennis. The nature of pickelball levels the playing field by toning down the speed, athleticism and power of men.
Of course she would. And so would Serena against a top 50 guy by her own free admission. This girl is 16, she’s wrecking everyone across 3 different disciplines week in & week out. Her arms are ripped she puts in work. Her dominance in her game is Tiger winning all 4 majors level.
@@joshkorin7547 That's a bit of a stretch but you are entitled to your opinion. I play pickleball because its easy and everyone else does because the barrier to entry so low. It is commonly said it can be learned in 30 minutes. Not the same for any other sport which require many lessons and much practice before being able to do anything. One person said people watch sports because they want to see superhuman level of performance that few are able to achieve. Pickleball is relatable because anybody can do it. Nothing about it is superhuman. And it is that way by design. Hence it being so popular. One commentator said "Pickleball looks really dumb on television. For undeniable proof of this fact, you only need to watch a minute or two of a high-level match. The best players in the world are undeniably talented, but the sport’s basic setup makes it impossible for anyone playing it to look all that impressive." So Anna is good but she is no Woods by any stretch.
You can just check her singles DUPR rating of 6.35, which would put her tied with the 34th ranked male, Mario Barrientos. Interestingly, Callie Smith would fall not too far behind in the pack, as her 6.02 rating puts her tied for 49th with Elliot Makowitz and Matt Treblas.
These comments are getting so tired, man. I play and love both tennis and pickleball. Pickleball is a sport that is highly competitive and takes a lot of skill. It is more accessible than tennis which is why you see more people playing it of all demographics. I don’t always have time to set up and play a few hours long match of tennis but pickleball has a much more pickup basketball feel to it. Play a quick game and bounce out.
She is best women and she would be about 50 in mens.. Less depth then tennis as serena would be about 1000th male.. But it will get there as sport grows to more countries
