Pro Level Tip for Middle Coverage

Hey Everyone! 👋
If you haven't been following my social media, I'm traveling internationally for 2.5 months.
A true dream trip, pickleball tournaments mixed with surf trips.
My first stop is India for the World Pickleball League. Our team has people from all over the world.
Something I’ve noticed…
The Vietnamese players are NO joke.
We have 2 on our team, and they are some of the most talented players I've ever seen. I’d love to see how they match up in the states.
But I think they would do some serious damage.
One of our players, Ly Hoang Nam, won a Wimbledon Juniors doubles tennis title in 2015. He has the cleanest strokes out of any player I've ever seen.
He has only been playing pickleball for 15 months, and he already has a win over Federico Staksrud, #2 Men’s Pro Singles player.
Be on the lookout for Vietnamese players taking down some top players when they enter US tours.
Their style is so pretty to watch!
Here is this week’s video:
Till next week,
