The Kawamoto sisters, Jade and Jackie, pulled off one of the most shocking upsets of the year at the PPA Cincinnati Showcase, defeating Anna Leigh Waters and Anna Bright in a thrilling three-set battle. In this video, I break down the highlights, strategy, and momentum shifts that made this win possible against the #1 team in pro pickleball.
We’ll look at how the Kawamotos controlled the transition zone, reset under pressure, and used precise movement on and off the kitchen line to stay consistent against nonstop attacks. You’ll also see why their mental toughness after dropping game one was the key to turning the match around, and how they stepped outside their comfort zone to play more offense in the biggest moments.
Whether you’re new to pickleball or an advanced player, this breakdown is packed with strategy tips and takeaways you can apply directly to your own game. From smarter resets to knowing when to attack, you’ll learn exactly what it takes to compete at the highest level.
