Watch as AJ Koller and Callie Smith take on Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters at the 2022 Baird Wealth Management Open from the Linder Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio. Winner advances to the Mixed Doubles Semifinal.
I wouldn't say it was clearly in especially from this angle that the camera is at. I slowed it down to .25 speed and it was very very close to borderline, so I guess the ref was correct to say that the call stands because there was clearly, no grounds to overrule that call.
@@benmat1280 It was clear. Try the pause play pause method while in slow speed setting. Clearly in. I was confused as to what even happened when first watching it. I saw it in as they played. Easy call.
@@throughoureyes5160 Im not disagreeing with your analysis. We have the luxury to pause and slow down the speed to see if in or out, after the fact, but the ref doesn’t.
Major omissions. Against good players 5.0 and above when one player covers middle the other player should cover the line. You leave the sharp angle crosscourt more open because if your opponent hits it hard it will go out wide of the court. If hit in or soft you can run it down. Follow the ball Joey. Surprised you don't understand these basic concepts. If one opponent likes a particular shot you shade that area a bit more.
Can somebody let the announcers who call any of the Waters matches that the 80% praise for the teams and players that there playing is getting old. It's not even 50-50 with Dave Flemming, who is the premo match caller. If you doubt this just go back and watch so old RU-vid matches . The Waters deserve more positive comments since they our the best in women's pickleball.
Two great videos for pickleball. Hand coordination gained by juggling ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BaXWuA_mxe0.html and how to practice focusing on the ball ru-vid.comO1egKCoZ3RM
The men are way better and the name of the game playing mixed is isolate and hit at the female. The best way to combat that is squeeze that side of the court make it hard to take advantage of the female player.
I understand the concept of teams wearing matching clothing, but WTH is that sister wife/shapeless dress Callie is wearing. She usually looks great. Unfortunate choice this time.
What you are saying does not make sense. 'The top players need to split up to make it easier on the other players". ??? What if every team or every athlete thought the way you thought? What if they told Tom Brady or Serena Williams or Mohamed Ali: "You need to not play so good so people can enjoy watching your matches better'.
You can't possibly have a life and play this sport. The points are too damn long! You would never make it to any other post practice or match engagements ever.
@@timlee2773 tennis matches when playing 3 out of 5 can last for more than 3 hours, pickleball might last an hour and a half when playing 3 out of 5. Your argument is null
