01:38a great shot that time from elise jones on the inside out 4-1
02:03oh beautiful and you don't need to be special with the final winner just lay it over there
02:09in a flash they've taken this match over dave yeah and you can tell you can just see it in
02:15their body language they're lacking focus cross-court winner in a beauty nothing you can do with that
02:29that's a lack of focus you've got the two bounce rule in pickleball which means the
02:34ball has to bounce at least once on each side of the court to get the rally started
02:50of the Rose
02:51made the passing shot look easy oh
02:53my goodness just such a high level of pickleball right there
02:58a huge lead now dave we weren't expecting this
03:02No, we weren't, and the hill to climb.
03:04Ben Johns will serve.
03:25Oh my goodness, Ben Johns, you stop it.
03:35Elise Jones, back to serve.
03:51Wow, stepped in and made that volley look easy.
03:54Ten to two.
03:56Obvious to say, but this has been a one-sided contest, Dave.
04:00It sure has. We're already at a game point, right here.
04:08All over that one, and this is Ben Johns at his finest.
04:13Ben Johns, back to serve.
04:22Look at this drop, Bobby. Filth.
04:26The serve goes back to Elise Jones.
04:37It's over.
04:39Wow, did they get repped.
04:42They're up one game to zero.
04:44Game two coming up.
04:47There it is.
04:55A big mistake there.
04:57The serve has to bounce, and the return has to bounce.
05:01If you volley either of those, it's a foul.
05:22That's fantastic, Dave.
05:25I'm sure that there are people all over the country practicing those drop volleys right now.
05:31Three, nothing.
05:39There's the patented inside out from Ben Johns.
05:43No one does it better.
05:44Ben Johns takes over the serve.
05:55Wow, inside out, and that's a beautiful ball.
05:59That was untouchable.
06:01Three, nothing.
06:03The serve goes back to Elise Jones.
06:12Cross court and a beauty.
06:14That was so well done.
06:16Such a great shot.
06:18Ben Johns will serve.
06:33Ooh, and does a little drop volley there.
06:36Wasn't that pretty?
06:39Three, nothing.
06:41Elise Jones.
06:41The two-bounce rule makes that a foul.
06:44You have to let it bounce on both ends of the court before you can volley it out of the
06:49air.
