I recap a wild Championship Sunday in Vegas where Ben Johns made the singles final chasing a Triple Crown but lost all three finals, including having his men’s doubles win streak with Gabe Tardio snapped by Andre Daescu and Christian Alshon, while Hayden Patriquin and Anna Bright beat Ben Johns and Anna Leigh in mixed as Ben completed a “triple frown.” I break down Ben’s singles run (including wins over Dylan Frazier, Christian Alshon, and John Lucian Goins) before Hunter Johnson shut him down in the final. On the women’s side, Anna Leigh sat out singles and Kiora Kunimoto upset Kate Fahey en route to the title, and Anna Leigh/Anna Bright survived a scare from Catherine Parenteau/Tyra Black. I also share my PPA Barcelona update (gold in mixed with Judit Castillo), announce a PPA ticket giveaway, and discuss concerns with AI line calls.
