Hello folks! Welcome back to PickleWho, your go-to source for pickleball news. April is ending, summer is coming and people are starting to wear tank tops and smell like coconut sunscreen. I love it.

Anyways, here's the news!

• J.W. Johnson crushes the Newport Beach tournament

• Sarah Ansboury and Jillian Braverman forced to forfeit

• Disney pickleball is a thing now

J.W. Johnson, King of Newport Beach

Yesterday we covered the news of Pablo Tellez’s sanction during PPA’s Newport Beach tournament. Drama is good and all but… Who was the winner of the night?

Turns out J.W. Johnson did not come to play games –well, he technically went to play games, but you know what I mean–, as he won gold in both the doubles and mixed doubles divisions, with his partner Dylan Frazier and his sister Jorja.

Even when Matt Wright and Riley Newman, and Ben Johns and Collin Johns were able to defeat them during the season, Johnson and Frazier remain the hottest couple in pickleball doubles.

Two questions persist, though:

- Will Johnson secure the triple crown?

- Is your dad proud?

Forfeits at Newport Beach

My ex knew I were trouble when I walked in, shame on her now as I took her to places she’d never been ‘til I put her down, oh.

Yes, I dated Taylor. No, don’t look it up.

On the other hand, the Newport Beach tournament had no idea they were going to be so much trouble. First, they fined Tellez after he kinda lost it and now Sarah Ansboury and Jillian Braveman were forced to forfeit after winning a match.

Here’s the tea. Ansboury’s paddle was tested and considered “high-risk-but still legal” before the quarterfinals. So she decided to play with it and her team beat Lacy Schneemann and Lina Padegimaite 11-8,11-9.

Right after the match, Schneemann and Padegimaite contested Ansboury’s paddle… And the paddle was now found to be illegal. Lol.

This moment is pickleball history and we’re gonna meme-it for years.

The mouse embraces pickleball

We all knew it was just a matter of time before Disney would join the pickleball business. After all, they own 50% of the planet, 20% of Mars and 10% of my organs. Mostly kidneys.

And now, the world’s most megalomaniac company offers pickleball courts in 4 different resorts: Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Old Key West Resort, Bay Lake Tower, and Kidani Village,

As the mouse starts making money off-pickleball, we’ll probably catch the first Marvel hero playing pickleball. I hope it’s Spiderman.

Toby Maguire’s Spiderman.
