JW Johnson and Jorja Johnson also defeated Catherine Parenteau and Quang Duong 11-4. By winning both mixed doubles matches, Dallas closed the match without needing a DreamBreaker tiebreaker.

Player Insight and What’s Next

“[Jorja and Tyra] have been carrying me for the entire season and last season as well, so I figured I would try and step up one time. The home crowd here helped a lot and helped us manufacture some energy after a quick turnaround from yesterday.” – (Augustus)

The Dallas Flash remain undefeated at 6-0 and will leave Arizona with confidence. The Los Angeles Mad Drops will play their last desert match against the Atlanta Bouncers.
