Amazing match!! Very exciting to see agressive play against agressive play. That is so hard to sustain throughout a match. Great job Alshon, I can understand the big emotions that must have been a big blow for you. Keep on pushing you have been one of the main catalyst that has modivated a conplete evolution of the game. And black, so awesome to see you grow from where ypu were awesome work guys
Man I was out of my seat for the 2nd half of game 3. Black was looking like the future world #2, and Alshon was executeing what he should be. What a heart breaker, when Alshon conquers his mental game, Ben and ALW's winning streaks are going look a lot different.
This is what pickleball should be. Aggressive fast and awesome. It’s fun to play and fun to watch. We need more of this so that people want to try pickleball. Pickleball is not just for old people it’s for anybody.
In a round of sixteen, fifteen teams end their journey on a loss. Some people seem to think they need to be sore losers in order to be their best selves. On Jilly B's channel, she celebrates being able to be her best self without having to be a sore loser. She says she plays her best when she barely even knows the score, and her best season arrived when she had more flow and less self-entitled egotism.
@@afterthesmash thank you so much for your comment! I love an athletes passion… I guess I’m just interpreting it differently than a lot of you 🫶🏻 sorry about that
Alshon/Black is a great team! Defense defense defense. So good! You know how long I saved up to get mine? It just hurt. Alshon: You play well, so control the temper, even if internal. Get out of your own head. It creates a spiraling situation. And the breaking of the paddle at the end is not a good look. Black: I knew you'd reach these heights and beyond. Such power, skill and grace. Congrats Waters/John. You are so cool under pressure.
Man Tyra Black was on it, in Ben Johns face all match...what an event for her...i feel like Alshon still has a lot of tennis in him...a lot of unforced error and slow time reaction compared to other top man...but probably the most exciting player to watch...i love this team...they came close
Alshon just needs to solve that one last puzzle of his mental game holding him back from being a champion. He has the ability to do it. Also needs a new coach. Lee Waters is too much of a conflict of interest to get Gold. Do you what you need to do to become a champion Christian 💪
Black was getting the best of Johns ALL match! Very impressed with her improvement over the last couple of years. Probably the most improved on the entire PPA Tour over that time frame.
If the refs had let them use their last challenge when they weren't really challenging anything then they wouldn't have been able to challenge the one that succeeded. 😂😂😂
Fantastic comeback return by Anna and Ben. On a note, I've noticed lately that Ben isn't always the best at firefights as compared to Anna, who seems to do better going at it on average. But Ben does well on resets, set-ups and put-aways when opportunity arises and opponents are caught off-guard or do make mistakes. Ben should mix up his shots as I've notice opponents are getting better with their defense and attacks moments. He shouldn't always fight fire with fire when opponents are also good at it, if not better, but instead trick his opponents once in while by altering his speed attacks and direction placements to fool his opponents into making their response hit harder and out, or too soft into the net. Ben should also keep his shots lower as seemingly the tendency is he pops up some of his returns for an easy counter and also his uncharacteristic into-the-net shots are atrocious lately. Of the 3 ingredient of a good game- power, speed and accuracy, accuracy sill always prevail when power and speed fails. Ben should concentrate on his accuracy but control his speed and power to deprive his opponents of attack opportunities ergo less chances for them to initiate an attack. Congrats to Ben and Anna for a job well done just the same. I've watched some of Alshon's vlog of pickleball tips as I'm also a fan. He is a great player as he and Black are mainly good mainstays and they will go far one day.
Alshon's tweener decision was a poor one. It was a tweener reset that ended in them losing a rally. A better reset could have won them that rally and then the comeback never happens.
I’ve noticed other players, men, starting to target Ben more. There seems to be more of a dislike attitude towards him. I think we will see more aggressive balls going to him.
Tyra was feeling it, but the baby goat hasn't even reached her full adult maturity yet. Six years from now, the baby goat will be 23 years old, and Tyra will be 29. It's not going to get easier for Tyra to dominate ALW.
Why did he take off to the net EVRY time Tyra returned the serve. Dude she has to set up some offense against the 2 best players. Give her some time. He lost soooo many points doing this.
From a fashion perspective, Anna Leigh's skirt is too short. It shouldn't show the pants underneath when she's standing straight up. But the skirt is adorable. Just needs a few inches longer.
People that defend destroying paddles says a lot about them, same in tennis. I guess it’s just a personal thing? If you destroy your paddle, you need to control your emotions and stop embarrassing the sport.
He blamed his paddle so he broke it? Lmao what? No he got mad and broke it cause he got upset after he lose. I’m sure his sponsor is happy. Hes top 5 in many categories so I’m sure they don’t care. These paddles cost maybe 30-50 to make lol
Great match. Black outplayed Waters, BJohns and Alshon in this match. Game IQ and her defense was superb.
The most exciting match yet! Alshon/Black are a great team and hope they go head to head with the #1s again
Black plays very well

I felt the pain at the enddddd 😢 a winners nature is to NEVER be okay with losing!!! Looovvveeeedd this game❤

Black out played Waters
and Ben Johns. Black's game IQ is at the high level.

😂
Why did you type all this😭
@@MLGBRANBRAN Right? And I accuse Alshon of being cringy in his interviews. Aya! Maybe it helps with PPA Tour algorythm?
What a great match. Way to go Anna Leigh and Ben.
This was the one! I needed Them to win this one, let’s start the year off right. Yet unfortunately the goats 🐐 get another one.
What a match between these 4 terrific people and players
Man Tyra Black was on it, in Ben Johns face all match...what an event for her...i feel like Alshon still has a lot of tennis in him...a lot of unforced error and slow time reaction compared to other top man...but probably the most exciting player to watch...i love this team...they came close
Such a great match
They blew it...had them.
Black and Alshon is such a powerful team. It was epic match.
Wow, so exciting game!
this shoul have been as a gold medal game
This was an amazing save from Johns and Waters. Great game!
What a crazy match and comeback!
Well played to all! What a match!
Anna Leigh is a monster in those last 5 points
What was up with the fake timeout at 39:41? Did they have any timeouts left?
Alshon just needs to solve that one last puzzle of his mental game holding him back from being a champion. He has the ability to do it.
Also needs a new coach. Lee Waters is too much of a conflict of interest to get Gold. Do you what you need to do to become a champion Christian 💪
Even if I wanted Black to win in this game, part of me still wanted Johns and Waters to win. I don't know!
Tyra played lights out
What a match!
Black was getting the best of Johns ALL match! Very impressed with her improvement over the last couple of years. Probably the most improved on the entire PPA Tour over that time frame.
Tyra and Alshon had that game! Sad to see it end that way
Outstanding semi final match with the world's top players and less than 1000 fans in the stands, what?
Ms Black is dressing very stylish.. that’s nice for PB.
PB continues to elevate in quality of play and this match was clear evidence of it
the whole match is a mini tennis . interesting to watch .
Down 4-10 and they come back. The GOATS win again.
Alshon needs a mental coach for real..
He got so nervous. Can’t believe they didn’t win the game on a couple of those 10-4-1 points
hes rude to fans thinks hes the smartest in the room
It’s legal to pull back partner to prevent foot fault after volley as ms. Black did?
Yes, its legal❤
Absolutely
Tyra seems to be playing with a vengeance! Maybe she saw Sorry Not Sorry's episode where he caught Ben smack-talking her on a hot mic.
Fun match
Nobody beats Anna Leigh and Ben 👏👏👏💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 So happy watching 💯👍😘
Black was amazing! Alshon just doesn't know when to keep the killer instinct. A tweener??!!!
Alshon is such a choke artist! The tantrum at the end is the cherry on top 🤡
If the refs had let them use their last challenge when they weren't really challenging anything then they wouldn't have been able to challenge the one that succeeded. 😂😂😂
PPA never disappoints 🤣🤡 horrendous video quality, disgusting color edit and ridiculous camera angle. Good job 🤡💩
Horrible editing
Plot armor
Hurricane Hottie!
Way to throw the game alshon
That's brutal, LOL.
He didnt really though. Most of the points they lost were in hands battles he only made a few errors alw and ben just played perfect
Alshon does a little too much. If he would’ve been more patient him and Black would’ve won!
Him would've won? LOL, OK.
@48:27 saucy Ben
The “Teener” King got too cocky!!!
😂😂😂 ALW would agree!
Fantastic comeback return by Anna and Ben. On a note, I've noticed lately that Ben isn't always the best at firefights as compared to Anna, who seems to do better going at it on average.

Coaching and advice for Ben? Who do you think you are, dude? LOL. BTW, comeback return is redundant.
I stopped reading after you said Ben isn’t good at firefights. Dude is the complete package
Alshon's tweener decision was a poor one. It was a tweener reset that ended in them losing a rally. A better reset could have won them that rally and then the comeback never happens.
Tbh they shoulda won that point anyways
But yeah the tweeter honestly fired ALW up
Right. That comeback hinged on that tweener. OK, dude.
He broke his paddle! What a cornball!
paddle sponsor should dump him.
これはやばい
Alshon choked dang it
Congratulations ALW and BJ ❤❤❤👏👏👏 THE GOAT 💪💪💪👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏😘😘🫰🫰 love from.🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🤩😍🎉

Alshon😂😂 its all his fault for this lost. So many mistakes . Black is so good for sure
Why did he take off to the net EVRY time Tyra returned the serve. Dude she has to set up some offense against the 2 best players. Give her some time. He lost soooo many points doing this.
Felt like it was intentional obviously not but it was so many simple shots for someone his level shouldn’t miss in that last game very disappointing
I bet Alshon regrets that match point tweener now
You were up 10-4. How could you not deal the game….smh
From a fashion perspective, Anna Leigh's skirt is too short. It shouldn't show the pants underneath when she's standing straight up. But the skirt is adorable. Just needs a few inches longer.
Oh! Tyra too.
So he breaks his sponsors paddle like it was the reason he lost…..sponsor must be happy and proud they sponsor him!
Tell me you've never been competitive at anything without telling me you've never been competitive at anything.
That’s being competitive?
@@123BV8 yes, that competitive. He did not blame the paddle. He took the frustration of himself out on the paddle.
People that defend destroying paddles says a lot about them, same in tennis. I guess it’s just a personal thing? If you destroy your paddle, you need to control your emotions and stop embarrassing the sport.
He blamed his paddle so he broke it? Lmao what? No he got mad and broke it cause he got upset after he lose. I’m sure his sponsor is happy. Hes top 5 in many categories so I’m sure they don’t care. These paddles cost maybe 30-50 to make lol
The literally stole the momentum in the third set for a fake time out. They can't handle it when they may lose so the milked the system....not fair.
There are no sets in pickleball, only games and matches. And no crying, either. LOL
Why do women athletes wear less and less clothes! It is so undermining to the power of women!
Pfft. Who are you trying to impress here? LOL
It was a goodgame, but Black made alot of mistakes, Alshon is the "Ben Johns Hunter " almost at the same level.
Did we watch the same game idk that last game when it mattered alshon had 10+ mistakes that cost them the game
Dude....what?
What a match!!!
