Generally speaking, there have been some shake-ups on the pro pickleball podiums the past couple weeks. Ben Johns’ singles pickleball winning streak, which lasted over one year of competitive pro events, was snapped by the young and talented, JW Johnson, at the Tournament of Champions. Also, Simone Jardim and Lucy Kovalova took silver – as opposed to their usual gold medals – in back-to-back tournaments, as the pair fell twice to the relatively fresh duo of Catherine Parenteau and Jessie Irvine (learn more about Jessie Irvine in the Women’s Corner above!).
