Jack has the best forehand passing shot in pickleball already

I'm really excited to watch Jack Sock play and see how he changes singles pickleball play. I watched him as a tennis player as well. Its really great to see his point construction lean to his tennis. He has pinpoint accuracy on his forehand because his forehand technique is so good. He takes big risks and sometimes hits the net or overhits but that will improve over time. And his movement is fantastic. I suspect in the next couple of years singles strategy will change dramatically because of Jack in the use of inside out forehands, aggressive baseline play instead of serve and volley, and tennis style point construction. All the changes that happened throughout the years in tennis is being accelerated in pickleball. The most obvious change will be the prioritizing of hitting passing shots from the baseline over kitchen play. Well see if im correct. :) Great Game!

In most sports, you thoroughly expect the #3 to be in control of the match, where their play dictates the result of points. Sock is so clearly the more capable hitter that it's the opposite. He's entirely in control and it's whether he makes his shots or not that wins or loses the match.

What a display of forehand topspin and court coverage! Fantastic Jack.

I wonder if pretty soon return-and-volley in singles is going to go the way of serve-and-volley in Tennis. Tyson lost so many points hitting a so-so return up the middle and then watching the ball fly past him as he ran in. I'm sure Tyson could have been doing something different on his returns (returning to the forehand corner worked okay, chipping down the middle didn't work at all), but the point is you can't come in behind any old return. It has to be a good one, especially against someone like Sock.

Sorry but Michelle just talks tooooo much! 😊

I hope Jack maintains this high level of play. It was fun to watch.

Nice match!

exactly. why can’t the ppa step up their game and fix these issues! I wanted to hear the interview

Sock: “I think it’s definitely way more difficult than people think to come over from tennis. I think…” *Tennis fanboy cuts the line.

Jack Sock... the Federer of Pickleball?

Every pickle ball player claiming that pickle ball is better than tennis may regret convincing tennis players to play it.....

I love Jack Sock, I like that he came into Pickleball trying to learn the sport and came in humble unlike some other Tennis players that joined Pickleball.

Great game by Sock and if Tyson wants to get past the round of 16, He needs to switch up his back hand. The slow backhand slice floater is getting eatin up, especially by Sock.

Sock wow good playing ! 👍

lol...i mean. People realize Jack Sock won the Paris Masters 1000 right?? He'll wipe the floor with all these guys soon. Clear proof here that you can't compare Pickle and Tennis. The skill, technicality and difficulty in tennis are on another planet

Thanks to the genius that hit the mute!

Bruh the corner shots from Sock. Goodness

Great performance by Jack.

I think if Jack can have some patience and not always go for the big tennis like shots. He will have the chance to be the best and possibly beat Ben one day. he’s definitely my favorite player. Gotta love, Jack.

32:53 THE BALL WAS IN! WHY WAS IT CALLED OUT???? This scene shows Sock's speed and ball anticipation! Enormous!

A little karma for McGuffin after a few questionable out calls

No dinking from the tennis playa

New to watching pickle ball games at such a high level so take what I say with a grain of salt and I was hoping for Tyson McGuffin to win this match coming in to this video but he got absolutely crushed by Jack Sock! The thing that caught my attention the most was the fact that it seemed like Tyson kept lobbing the ball back to Jack and set him up to smash it almost every time. I would expect a player at Tyson's level to pick up on that but it didn't seem to make any adjustments, which was odd to me. Second, idk why but it seemed like Tyson kept doubting Jack's balls going in almost every other point haha like stop doubting, they're all dropping dude! Plan on it staying in and smack it back but it just seemed like he wouldn't try and just let them all go and Jack just kept dropping dimes. My two sense tell me that Tyson just wasn't used to his style of play and expected little pickle ball dinks. I wanted Tyson to win this match but props to Jack for making Tyson pay for not making any adjustments.

foot fault at 9:20? maybe...way to close to call that. maybe ref thought the center line was kitchen line

What paddle is McGuffin playing with??

Pickleball player " I am a pro who has played for a long time, won many titles and I often train future players."....Jack Sock "Hold my beer".

Tyson should add a tattoo check tally for every time he loses to Sock

Go McGuffin! You’re the MAN!!

Tyson had no chance playing Socks game. Sock dictated games 1 and 3 with his serve + heavy forehand. Tyson won game 2 with more cat and mouse which he’s excellent at but Sock has too much firepower. If Sock can improve his short game he will start winning a lot of big tournaments. Best forehand in pickleball and it’s not close

Sock was on his game this match but man how embarrassing for Tyson. Tyson is a good player but why in the world did he not switch things up on the return?? Ran up the middle after every serve with such a light return and paid for it almost every time.

Sock just crushes his forehand and had Tyson out of sync most of the match. He's a tough matchup.

What’s up with the line calls in pickleball?? I don’t follow pickleball a ton but right off the bat horrible hook. First shot of the match was in so easily, idk how you call that out.. Is there not a judge to overrule or some sort of camera thing like hawk eye like tennis has?

Ferrari forehand kinda looking like a Le Car backhand.

Pickleball will be tough to grow professionally if players are still calling their own lines. Very first point, the forehand hit was in. If you're punished for hitting the ball hard, why play at all?

Should have stayed with Selkirk

Commentator: "Good luck getting that ball back from jack sock".... "Oh no. Filthy from jack sock in the kitchen"... Poor guy.

Mcguffen needs to stop giving the best top spin player in the sport backspin. He is literally giving him more top spin.

do you guys just not watch the video before posting? completely missed the interview

Soon pickle ball will need another sport to get away from the retired tennis pros.

they certainly are not enforcing the no ball upward movement at serve.....watch Tysons motion, the ball clearly has an upwards arc then drops. Just saying.. Nothing against Tyson.

Sock uses one of softest paddle on the market and still has best forehand lol

It looks like the future of singles is 3 hits per point and rinse and repeat

I love and play both pickleball and tennis. The truth is any, ATP tennis player. could play Pro pickleball in six months. Not a single pickleball player could make it onto the ATP Tour. Tennis is immeasurably more difficult.

It amazes me that they can be that good but not have a backhand. That’s like having a President who can’t talk or give a speech😮

Lady announcer talks wayyyyy to much

Nice audio on the interview. F’ing clown technicians!

McMuffin should spend less time at the tattoo parlor and more time practicing.

Jack couldn’t beat Alcaraz

This game is so easy, that pro tennis players that never played this game can beat the top pickleball players in the world. They finally found a game that people with no athletic ability can donate. Congratulations to the under achievers!

God McMuffin is bad
