Zane recaps the PPA Newport Beach tournament with key storylines: Ben Johns withdraws from men’s singles, while Hunter Johnson strengthens his case as top singles player after beating Chris Haworth and edging Federico Staksrud in a chippy final. Mixed doubles sees Hayden and Anna Birght's momentum stall as Eric Oncins and Tina Pisnik surge to the final before falling to Ben Johns and Anna Lee Waters. In women’s doubles, Anna Lee and Anna Bright remain dominant, extending their gold streak. Men’s doubles features a rare “big four” crack as Colin Johns and Len Yang upset JW and CJ before Ben and Gabe win the final over Christian and Hayden. Women’s singles highlights an electric Kate Fahey–Lea Jansen match, and Anna Lee extends a 644-day win streak and claims her 41st triple crown. Zane also covers new cheating-deterrent fines, paddle switches, “Paddle Slams of the Week,” and newcomers like Clayton Powell, Andre Mercado, Connor Mogul, and Len Yang.
