Summary

Chris Beaumont and Gordon Watson return for another World Pickleball Podcast roundup, covering the stories shaping the sport across the globe.

This week’s episode starts in Trinidad and Tobago, where the Caribbean’s first Minor League Pickleball event is set to launch on May 29, before heading to Australia for a look at the newly announced MLP Australia captains and what a reduced eight-team league could mean for the standard of competition.

Chris and Gordo also break down the PPA Finals, the continuing dominance of Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters, the rise of players such as Kiora Kunimoto, Sahra Dennehy, Danni-Elle Townsend, Rachel Rohrabacher and Tama Shimabukuro, plus the latest debate around line calling and whether professional pickleball can continue to rely on player self-officiating.

The episode also looks at the PPA’s new documentary series, the importance of preserving pickleball’s early history, and WPM’s upcoming Road to the English Open project.

A wide-ranging episode on where pickleball is heading, who is rising, and what the sport still needs to fix.
