[Music] what’s happening everybody it is time for another draw reveal show this is the IHG hotels and resorts Bristol open I am excited to get to Tennessee and as always we start with the ladies and look who we have here Brooke Buckner that’s right roared through the draw in Kansas City and won a gold in a great match against Kate fahe that’s her second win of the Year Brook Buckner the mom just wrecking people so let’s see what her draw is going to look like in Tennessee we always start at the top Ane Waters back in singles she wasn’t there in Kansas City because she was part of pickle and pucks so she’s back looking for a Triple Crown she has but one loss in singles all year long Caitlyn Christian played terrific in Kansas City herself beat Katherine Pento that is a big big win for Caitlyn and there’s Leia Jansen the three seed looked like she had a great opportunity to make a run to Sunday and lost in the first round because Kate fahe came roaring out of the quales and ends up right next to Leia Jansen first round beats her what a win for Kate Leia is looking for Redemption here for sure so that’s that side on my left jeie bu Shard jumping back into singles was also part of pickles and pucks and this is definitely her best event in pickle ball we’ll see if she can do some damage here’s who’s lurking the four seed salame devid is that lady that has the win over Anna Lee Waters doesn’t play a full schedule but when she is in the draw look out and then at the top over there Katherine Pento the two seed does not have a win in 2024 that sounds like I’m making it up that’s not true maybe Tennessee is her week so that’s women’s singles now let’s look at men’s singles Tyson McGuffin man what a great run he had in Kansas City beat fedo staford who just gets to Sunday he did not in Kansas City and then Tyson what the heck happened in that first game in the final he got golden pickled yes Conor Garnett served 11 times and said thank you very much 110 and then of course the crime dog came rolling in back you know he was going to do that in the very tight third game went to Garnett but McGuffin just keeps making podiums it’s unbelievable so let’s take a look at the draw there’s fed up at the top as the number one seed and look at this first round match we have over there Noe Cliff who is a terrific player up and coming drafted into MLP now and he’s going to play Big Papa Jimmy that’s right right Ignat as the 36 seed is going to play some singles he is not repeat not in the mix draw so what a great first match and then fed’s going to have his hands full with his first match because the winner of that’s going to have a lot of confidence Christian Alshon is the four seed Quang dang just lurking every one of these men singles event you think he is going to take it he’s the five and then over here Ben John’s much like the anal Wat story was in Aspen he’s back in singles and he wants to make up some ground on fed we’ll see if he can do it Jack sock the seven seed always dangerous with the fear hand can he make another run to Sunday he certainly capable and then here’s where McGuffin is in the draw he’s the three seed Patrick Quinn’s the 13 wouldn’t that be fun if those two play each other a little chirping the youngster versus the veteran love to see it but they got a win to get there so men sing Les is wide open every week we’ll see who makes their way in Bristol to Championship Sunday now let’s look at mix doubles wow is that a real team or did we just doctor up some pictures that is a real team Anna brigh took Kanas City off she’s back and she’s back with Christian Alshon Alshon and edite played an extraordinary quarter final against analy Waters and Ben John’s one of the best matches you will ever see go find that one if you didn’t catch that so is this team going to take a title they’re certainly capable let’s look at the draw up at the top there’s Ben Johnson Anna Lee Waters who had to survive a five game Thriller in the Kansas City final against the Johnson siblings they are the number one seed fed Stax who just keeps playing such good pickle ball he’s got Rachel rorabacher by his side this week she is back in the draw as well de bar and Tina piznik you know what all they do is make podiums they’re the four seed we’ll see if they can keep that going and then Catherine Pento not playing with Jack sock anymore look who she’s with this week the big fella Andre diu last week she was with fed this week with dasu this is going to be interesting to see where she settles in but Katherine will always have a very good male partner is this the week she makes a run in mixed on my left there you see bright and at the top team New York Hustlers there again jack sock and Leia Jansen looking to get another step forward and then the Johnson who are just fantastic there was so much fire from Georgia Johnson in that final I loved every minute of it will they get that gold here we’ll find out we love mixed doubles we’ve got new Partnerships this week who is going to get to Sunday we’ll find out now two gender doubles we always start with the ladies and these two two ladies were fantastic in Kansas City the athleticism and putaway power of lacy schneeman coupled with Jade camoto making all those digs but she’s got plenty of offense herself this team is going to have a wave of confidence going in to Bristol Tennessee let’s take a look at the draw top seat up there Katherine Pento and Anna Le Waters their record is 98 and one let that settle in it’s unbelievable it sounds like I’m making up numbers 98 and one they are an absolute dominant force and they wreck people if you’re in their part of the draw they don’t care they’ll run you out of the building in 15 minutes they won one of their matches in Kansas City 110 110 also on their side I like this new partnership there we’ve got hurricane Tyra black playing with Jesse Irvin we’ll see how they do their schneeman and Jade camoto on this side and then over on my left the girlies their term are back Anna brigh Rachel roacher they have the one win over Catherine and Anna Lee and then the last couple times they’ve played it has not been that close they would love the opportunity to gut another shot at them but they have a lot of work to do to get there also over here is an interesting partnership with the other camoto Jackie camoto and Alex Trung lot of athleticism there we’ll see what they can get done Leia Jansen and Tina piznik have a title this year can they make a run in their part of the draw and then look at this Georgia Johnson playing with Vivian glosman so there’s a lot of Firepower in that team so we love women’s doubles they don’t believe in dinking maybe one or two and then let the ball rip let’s see who wins women’s doubles in Bristol next the dudes fed and Gabe how much fun were they to watch they were ter rfic they took the title they upset Dylan Frasier and JW Johnson in Kansas City and what was most impressive is not just the win but they won it in three straight games that’s a best of five that’s an unbelievable accomplishment so they are going to be roaring into Tennessee let’s take a look at the draw JW Johnson and Dylan Fraser are still the top seed in the last six events they have four Golds and two Silvers that is unbelievable that’s the level they’re playing at right now they are a very tough team to beat look who Pablo tez has this week the Frenchman Jay deviler aren’t they going to be fun to watch can that Lefty righty combo work I think it can that’ll be good and look at this first round matchup we got Travis retm and Zane natil versus Colin schik and Jack sock shik and sock Lost first round in Kansas City and Jack’s backyard Hometown where he grew up playing tennis so they’re definitely looking for redemption in Tennessee and then down at the bottom we have a very spicy Dallas oriented match Brandon French playing with Julian Arnold uh wear your earplugs everybody versus Blaine henir and Donald Young don’t miss that that is going to be a lot of fun for a first round match on my left there you see Ben Johns and Colin Johns the gold medal drought continues fed and Gabe took them out in the semi-finals and there they are in the same quarter so we may have a rematch but you got to earn your way there Hayden Patrick wiin just keeps getting different partners and winning medals with them it’s unbelievable how good Big H is playing and you want to talk about big he’s got big decal bar by his side this week that is going to be a very fun team to watch and then another very festive first round match down here at the bottom Tyler with NOA Cliff versus Rosco Bellamy and Hunter Johnson who is going to take that that’s going to be so much fun so men’s doubles the parody is starting to be there and then those first round matchups because everybody is so good get better and better so men’s doubles always a lot of fun who is going to take the crown we shall see so let’s look at the overall story lines do I have any volunteers well I hope I have a lot of volunteers we are going to to Tennessee for the very first time on the carvana PPA tour can’t wait to see a packed house there in Bristol Sly as a fox what do I mean by that we are going to be on National Fox so big opportunity to celebrate pickle ball in a national stage 1 to three eastern time on Sunday as part of Championship Sunday bright spot as I showed you Anna brigh is back and when she is in the draw there’s just a little more energy there’s just a little more intensity we love having her back will she be able to make her way to Championship Sunday in the doubles we shall see Pizza Pizza what in the world am I talking about there well if you didn’t see it you got to go find it Gabe tardio and fed as I told you played brilliantly won the gold medal and in the middle of the match my boy Gabe orders a slice and is just eating it like it’s the best smartest nutrition Choice he could make in the middle of a final well guess what but more people are going to be doing it and if that dude doesn’t have a pizza contract and partnership by the end of this week we’re doing something wrong folks so grab a slice and then slice a backhand and then finally open books so this is one of our opens on tour a th000 points available to the winners where can you watch all of this
