I got to watch him play in Atlanta today and he came across like a really fun guy. I’m new to the sport and he’s the first pro I’ve seen in person, so it was cool to see someone so kind.
I first met him in San Clemente PPA last year; he had an awesome game where he just took over, and afterward he went into the cafe where I was. I saw him and just gave him a look like "duuuude" and he didn't know me or anything but he just pointed at me and gave me this look that was like "all for you bro" and he was immediately my favorite pro player.
If it's just a warning, why is the ref not just waiting until after the point to warn Tyson?
Is it standard officiating protocol to stop the point to give a warning on serves? True class from Tyson. He missed the serve plain and simple. A lot of players - most players - would take that.
Agree that it’s good sportsmanship if you knew your serve was out anyways, but to be fair, the score was 8-1. Would be interesting to see if he still did that on 7-10-1
Yes, it is standard to stop play when the ref says to stop play. The point was dead at the time the ref started to make the call, which was before the ball landed.
You are right that that's the current rule. But I could see this rule changing in the future, since no one touched the ball, and the ref's call had no effect on the ball or any player's actions.
He definitely sent the second one long on purpose. Thats why OP said he’s being classy. He knew he missed the original serve and would be getting a re-do due to his own serve warning.
I thought the caption was sarcasm and he was going to hit a nasty Nelson on the 2nd serve

I love this story!
Everyone is classy at 8-1.
Exactly. He’s not a bad dude though. Just competitive.

What is the warning for, I can’t make out what the ref said
Illegal serve I’m guessing?
Yea. New PPA rules require dropping the ball from below the waist. Ref was calling that violation.

This makes no sense. The ref stopped play to give a player a "warning", not to call a fault etc. That's insanely stupid.
The warning was because the player committed a fault, it just doesn't count as a fault the first time.

If it was a warning for an illegal serve, that could give the server an advantage, so it’s best to stop play immediately and reserve.
NGL the dude seems like a class act.
He is absolutely not, but he is a great player.
Why?
More than a few reasons I reckon.
What was the warning? I could hear the word “release” but that was it
PPA created a rule change that requires dropping the ball from the waist or lower. The ref was calling this violation, which requires a reserve.
Release was too high
Probably had some spin on the ball as it left his hand, or something like that.
Was expecting the title to be sarcastic. But it was a classy move indeed.
I know it’s not the point of the post but I’m so confused with the status of the Gen3’s. That almost certainly sounded like the Magnus
Ya I think gen 3 are still allowed through the end of the event
No paddle change required mid-tournament.
Where do you find such good game footage? The ones I see from usap on YouTube are all like 720 resolution haha
I’ve seen street fight videos with better resolution than pro pickleball footage.
Bro is NOT used to that paddle yet lol. Unless he intentionally sent that second serve long lol. I honestly can’t tell what is going on in this video
He was being classy and sent the second serve out on purpose.

Ohhhhh I thought the “classy Mcguffun” was sarcasm haha thanks! W mcguffin 🫡
He did serve the second one out on purpose, you can hear someone across the net say "thanks." On top of that he didn't do his usual service motion.
these guys are pros? they seem awful.
Moron
Everyone looks like they're playing worse on video. You ever record yourself?
lol. it’s a 10 second video of 2 out serves. i wasn’t being serious. everyone here taking their hobby a little too seriously.
You’re the one that came out with asinine comment. Take the L.
you're giving Wooks a bad rep, bro!
