Waters’ Tactical Brilliance
Waters’ performance was marked by her strategic attacks aimed at Johnson, known for her quick reflexes and robust counterplays. Waters shared her insight into the tactical aspects of the game.
“Strategy is such an important part of pickleball. There are certain spots on Jorja where if you speed the ball up you will get absolutely killed, so you just have to know your opponent. Some people like off-pace, and some people like when you hit it super hard, so there’s a lot that goes into it.” – (Waters)

“Every tournament it feels like there’s one match that we cannot close out. Taking nine match points to close it out isn’t great, but we got the W and that’s what matters.” – (Parenteau)
