Um, in the match I saw Fed is the Man…he’s never played better. Made beating Quong look effortless. Phenomenal!

All of the battles Federico had with the GOAT have paid off big time.

Agree that line judging in finals play needs to be better. Not just the players deciding but a judge on each line or artificial vision system used

yeah Fed was a beast....like Fed even gave him a freebie at 5:04 and couldn't take that one. hope QD comes up with better strategy next time. if Fed plays like this against Ben John, I think Fed would win. Why is he making so much mistakes against Ben Johns anyways?

@WilliamBrownGuitar Ай бұрын

Announcing was so much better this match.

@Luckyz Ай бұрын

The referee shouldn't call "nonono" when the ball is in the air, even if it seems clearly out. The opposing player might misjudge and attempt to hit the ball.

i have so much questions about QD's serve.. any ppa pros or 5.0s above can tell? lol eventho his paddle head is dropped but the balls are above his waist when i slow it down.. hmmm. i used to serve like this but i keep getting called out saying its illegal

Quong Dong is the only player I’ve seen who stays back on the baseline when he’s receiving the serve lol. Feel like he could be winning a lot more points if he moved up instead of trying to play it like tennis 😂

very clean shots from Federico. Not sure why he gets distracted and looses control when playing against Ben Johns. I guess missing consistency. overall like watching his game.

@5:04 Fed what are you looking at??😭

@AndrewJohnston-or2uz 2 ай бұрын

I assume that Duong just keeps looking over at his dad / coach after points he loses. Curious what they might be communicating and also...wondering if that is the healthiest approach to coaching for a kid his age. Granted - adding another person to the mix might mean in practice that he has two coaches, but just always skeptical of the parent + coach at the highest levels of professional sports unless said parent has also ascended to those heights.

@denisemalone7149 Ай бұрын

Agree. I was sitting pretty close and his dad gave him nothing but disapproving looks and shaking his head no as if he was disappointed. Between games his father appeared to be criticizing him as Quong just looked at the ground taking slow bites of his banana. A couch should build you up and encourage you. I saw none of that.

@THEspindoctor84 2 ай бұрын

great match. I think Quong needs to vary his game a little bit, though. Sure, you can be mostly a power-player, but you need at least SOME of the soft game. Right now he's like 95/5, and I think it would benefit him to change that to maybe 80/20. Crushing ground strokes when someone is well positioned at the net is not a winning strategy. Sure, you'll hit some impressive winners, but generally you'll get beaten by your opponent's volleys.

Bro if players are beckoning for judge help, get these guys help. Spend less on shot commentators like this old guy that just bashes the players the whole time and invest in a better judging system where their faces aren’t buried in iPads the whole time. Line having a fault judge and a separate set of line judges. At least for finalist matches my god HAHA at least the video quality is getting better recently. For a while it was seeming like USA pickleball was trying to sabotage itself

This match pretty much proves that Ben was burned out in his loss to Quang. Ben won a total of 8 golds in the 5 weeks, including 3 golds in singles vs the man right here who dominated Quang preceding their match.

@chubun6631 2 ай бұрын

Possibly, but it is also the matchups. Duong always does well against Ben and poorly against Fed. Somehow Fed can handle the tennis style of plays very well and has little trouble beating Duong, Sock, ... while others like Ben, Tyson seem struggle a bit.

@@chubun6631 Did you forget Ben handled him easily a little over a week ago? Ben does lose occasionally, and he was clearly off his game a few days ago for good reason. He plays much more pickleball than anyone else because he plays so much more. He dominates every division.

Just compare that match to this match, and to me it's quite clear that Fed is much more comfortable playing against Duong compared to Ben. If for every lost you blame some external conditions, not only you disrespect your opponent but also disrespect yourself and your ability.
