Hey everyone! There is a ton to breakdown in today's video. 15-year-old Tama Shimabukuro’s breakout run with big wins over Jaume Martinez-Vich, Federico Staksrud, Noe Khlif, and Hunter Johnson before falling to world No. 1 Chris Haworth. I also dive into Christian Alshon winning in Gucci shoes then losing to Donald Young, the Lea Jansen vs Albie Wang line-call controversy and broader cheating-policy issues, and Sophia Sewing’s similar calls at APP Sacramento. I also spotlight Kiora Kunimoto’s rise, Anna Leigh Waters extending her undefeated streak and delivering an MJ-style response to a crowd chant, and mixed/doubles results including Ben and Anna Leigh’s dominance, Anna Leigh/Anna Bright’s streak, Tama/Yuta’s men’s doubles run, and Ben/Gabe staying undefeated. Last but not least, paddle slams, new rules coming May 22, Proton’s reinstatement, paddle sponsor sagas, top shots, and the backstory of my body bag on Jack Sock.
