I recap everything that happened at MLP St. Louis, starting with Hayden Patriquin’s response after my criticism last week and how he backed it up by going 10-0 as the St. Louis Shock looked like a must-win home team. I cover the MLP debuts of Brooklyn and the SoCal Hard Eights, key pool-play results, injuries/lineup changes (including Riley Newman’s withdrawal), and how St. Louis earned the top seed while Mad Drops, Brooklyn, and Vegas advanced from the other group. On Super Sunday I break down the headline matchup (Shock vs. Mad Drops) highlighting St. Louis’s sweep, Hayden and Gabe’s dominant men’s doubles, and the mixed rematch win. I finish with my full MLP power rankings and quick hitters on bad court bounces, “bird watching,” and the top shots of the week!
