Agree, I think she has one of the best speed ups I’ve seen

There wasn't enough of a distinction between when she was trying to gain balance and when she chose to step in. I think the timing was just so close to when she was trying to gain balance.

nope, the ref got this one correct. after her shot each plant of the foot is moving forward with the 3rd on the line and she is clearly trying to balance and stay out of the kitchen.

Volleys are illegal if any part of your body / equipment touches the kitchen before or during the volley (and even after the volley if it's caused by your momentum). That is called "re-establishing" that you're once again properly outside the kitchen. ... here's one example of why that's part of the rule: Otherwise you could be in the kitchen, have a shot coming at you, jump backwards, hit it on the volley while you're still mid-air, then land out of the kitchen and be legal.

@@Jpvilleis it the line or the NVZ?

The NVZ includes its demarcation lines. @@Spazz983

Look at her left foot at 8:26 as she starts to jump over the kitchen for the Ernie. She then hits the ball before both feet are established outside the NVZ. I could be wrong, but if she ran through the NVZ and established both feet on the ground before hitting her shot then it would not have been a fault; but that's not really an Ernie or too likely to happen.

I’l take Camryn Irwin over Michelle every day of the week. I miss Camryn’s energy! Michelle makes me sleepy!

What? No the ppa kept the old let serve rule. Usa pickleball changed the let rule not the ppa. Nothing to do with an illegal serve.

@@CJS-logistics If it was an illegal serve, they wouldn't let her do a do-over LOL

@@MeepMeep88actually at ppa an illegal serve is a reserve funny enough, ask tyson lol

Exactly!

@@CJS-logistics new as of 2023

Only for Pro

She's in good shape. Ironically, on Championship Sunday she only has 3 matches (granted, two of them are best of 5). On other days, she might play 4 or 5 matches depending on how big the draw is.

Yeah, PB announcers are the worst.

It was a fault. Definitely didn’t reestablish 😬

What do you mean? The ball bounced.

Yea...I don't see it though it may have seemed like it

@@kimchi168 lol somehow i didn’t notice that it bounced I guess, but very obviously did. My bad

@@jc2604 That's weird, I wonder why?

Better than the lady who just says "BenJohns" over and over again.

in this case, this was broadcasted on CBS, a major network that also has tennis and other sports coverage, and not just streamed online. CBS is televised in many different places. For this reason, its for the viewers who are not as familiar with the game at the pro level, which is a very high likelihood there's a large viewership in this category. They do the same thing whenever there's an exhibition event with current / ex pro tennis players competing or even pro games that have ex pro tennis players in it, since its very likely people will tune in to watch the tennis players without ever being exposed to pickleball prior. Especially if it's a somewhat renowned tennis player.

Pickleball announcers are sooo awful. Agreed. It’s like we’re being forced to watch PB with them. I wish they’d be like regular sports commentators and just speak about what’s going on. That’ll be helpful to those of us who can’t quite watch the game because we’re multitasking. So annoying.

Agree, but that’s our society now. Everybody argues and complains. The ref had to sit there and explain himself…she should know the rules…that was the emberassing part.

Ever watch a LeBron James game?
