Matt Wright was outstanding. His counters, resets, and lobs really made the difference in this one.
Matt Wright showing everyone he’s still got it, playing out of his mind.
Love to see Matt without the dead weight of Newman! He was really being held back by Riley .
100%..... Imagine Riley thinking it was Matt holding him back. Not sure how that equates when you get 95% of the balls. 🤔
Collin’s resetting is next to none in PPA. However when facing aggressive players with all around skills he melts down from time to time. As the game is getting more sophisticated and competitive, defensive play can only carry you so far.
Agreed. Collin has no offense
Feel that Collin underperformed in this game. He missed so many speed up counters.
It does seem like all he wants to do is show off his resetting abilities.
The ol' man is really taking it to the Johns bros.
This match is a prime example to show that precision + aggression is significant at the higher levels of Pickleball.
"Pressure the opponent rather than be pressured."
yes Matt! making us older guys feel good:)
21:42 probably the best point in this game in my opinion
So good! Awesome lobs to get the Johns off the line and off their game even more.
Well done to the GOAT Matt Wright
colin is holding the team back, his reset is phenomenal but he can't generate offense and he's bad at responding to opponent's offense(speedups) and ben has to cover so much court
Great offensive lobs! A shot that is demonized all too often, but is def a weapon you want in your arsenal!
So silly to demonize any shot. Imagine someone getting bent out of shape because you faked down the line to get your opponent moving and then go inside in so the ball goes behind them.
The entire point of the game is to hit the ball where it will be difficult or impossible to return. A lob is every bit as legitimate as a dink, drive, smash, atp, erne, burt, poach, or slice.
@@williamdowling7718I think he is referring to when it is used against people with mobility issues
@@williamdowling7718 I agree 💯! That is exactly the point of my comment 👊🏼
@@ParryPickleballking-es2el which part of their comment indicates anything about mobility issues? They just said it's demonized far too often. Obviously if you're playing with someone with mobility issues, that's a dick move... But the context here is a professional pickleball match, not a daytime open gym with a bunch of retired people.
@@williamdowling7718 at what other time would it be demonized?..... None. It would be like complaining that a guy speeds up too much.
Love Matt Wight showing these young punks a thing or two LOL
Or look at it as a very experienced veteran picking on relative rookies who are still amassing data and experience and still not at their peak.
Yeah the Johns Bros are going to have to make some adjustments. Collin has good counters and resets but it seems he has lots of trouble producing his own offense.
Admittedly I’m a newer player so this will come across basic. It looks as if the Johns Bros are too content with grinding out dinks, and hoping someone pops up or ill advised speed up that will get countered. If it doesn’t happen as of late it seems they get into deep trouble or lose all together. I’m not saying abandon their game but some adjustments for sure because the gap is closing fast
Collin’s counters and resets are average now. He’s half asleep all the time. He treats it like a practice session.
@@lazyhusband so that’s fair. I wonder if they are starting to get overwhelmed with power. To your point, Collin doesn’t look lost per se, but like he’s in slow motion trying to catch up at times. Just look at the players that have beaten them twice. Dekel Bar, Matt Wright, Andrei Daescu, and Gabe Tardio. Three of these have been known to play much more aggressive. Now with technology it’s becoming easier not to get in dinking battles with the Johns Bros, and it seems that they’re slow to adjust to the top end competitors. Their strategy will work in the earlier rounds but it’s clear people are finding holes.
@@joshc.6706 He’s hard to watch. I’m not even sure that he deserves to be drafted on a MLP Premier team anymore.
@@lazyhusband I mean you’re not wrong. He seriously needs to revamp his game. People have already surpassed and if he doesn’t adjust, he quickly becomes irrelevant. One aspect people have forgotten to acknowledge I find is the mentality of their opponents. Now that they’ve lost consistently prior to championship Sunday, they look vulnerable. They’ve lost and at times lost bad. Everybody is like these guys are human and beatable. Goes such a long way in a match when the opponent realistically believes they can win
The Johns brothers played so off, Well Done Matt and Fed
its a false advertisement by joola showing them fake hitting with gen 3 paddles..
Collin is holding Ben down, everyone is showing that the gap is closing. If Ben wants to try and keep winning and stay on top he needs to drop his brother
Agreed. Ben looks to want it more than Collin.
Have you thought that maybe that’s how Ben wants Collin to play
Ben has been talking about the advantages of a leftie on the right. It might be the time to think about it. Ge is a good candidate.
Ben isn't as dominant as the other players continue to improve. They may want to change style rather that partners. Even if they do nothing they're a great doubles team. Just not a lock for gold after gold.
Eh, Ben played very poorly in this one. Atleast to his standards. The Johns bros will watch this and be ready for the next time they play.
kINDA CRAZY when you get beat by a 46 year old lawyer....LOL
Some people saying Ben and Colin need to speed up their game. I’d prefer if they get out of their heads and double down in their engagement on dinking. If you don’t miss a dink for two games then increase the risk on placement to deter attacks and get pop ups.
maybe if both ben and especially Colin played with the actual gen 3 joola paddles rather then their old ones it would help for Colin..
You mean the illegal ones? 😅😂😂
Matt is filthy
8:32 Why is he serving from the left as the first server?
did you not watch the video? obviously they scored and rotated to serve
Side out at 7:36. First serve from the right at 7:47 with a score of 3-3-1. They score the first point of the side at 8:17. The serve at 8:32 you mentioned is the second serve of the side with a score of 4-3-1.
I think ALW is better than Collin. It would be interesting if she could play with Ben in men's doubles. 🤔
46, “old man”? Wait til you’re 68 or more playing against 30 yr olds, then maybe you’ll hit middle age. Great game! Congrats on your win!
It's not that the MW lobs are directly scoring points, its that the lob game is lame and the opponent is like "why am I even playing this lazy, fat lawyer?" Watch 23:15. Pure frustration shot by Colin. Its a mental game by a fat lawyer (imagine that), not an athletic thing.
Wright looking like is is holding in a poop during the post match interview
It has to be tough letting go of your brother as a pafter so many wins... But it needs to be done
46 w a day job... oh, and a former tennis star.
I'm 55 and just retired. Started pball 6 months ago, my first paddle sport. Matt Wright is has a wealth of experience, not a wealth of athleticism. In a few years, he's toast. I hope I get to play him 50+ when I'm 59.
Just quit watching the championship game with Fed and Wright because they had a call against them and they are whining. Just sick to death of both these guys. I've now seen Fed live three times in championship play, and in my opinion, he makes more bad calls than anybody in the game.... but now he is teaming up with the biggest cry-baby on the circuit...... makes for painful viewing.
Matt didn't used to cry or make loud "yeahs" until he played with that meathead Riley. Hopefully he changes back. It's unnecessary.
