    PPA Las Vegas Preview: Broken Rankings, Upset Picks & MLP Asia Draft Drama

    Send us Fan Mail Tyler Loong and Jimmy Miller are back with a full preview of the PPA Las Vegas Open! We break down the singles, mixed doubles, men’s doubles, and women’s doubles draws — including some brutal first-round matchups, upset picks, and potential deep runs. We also dive into one of the biggest issues with the current pickleball ranking system: players earning favorable seeds and byes despite not necessarily being among the best players in that specific discipline. Plus, we discuss the continued growth of international pickleball, the controversy surrounding junior line calls, Rachel Rohrabacher and Bobby tying the knot, and the surprising MLP Asia draft that left Riley Newman and Connor Garnett undrafted.

Tyler Loong and Jimmy Miller break down all the action from Arizona, including Yuta Funamizu and Nico Acevedo's incredible run to the men's doubles final, Ben Johns & Federico Staksrud getting knocked out early, and several young players making serious noise on the pro tour. We also discuss PPA's new later start times, the changes coming to the Arizona Athletic Grounds, the latest on the JOOLA paddle lawsuit, and how the new WPR system is affecting draws and tournament seeding. Plus, we dive into the rise of Kiora Kunimoto and Elliott Schupp, Ben Johns' return to singles, Jalina Ingram's huge singles run, and Samin Odhwani's departure as MLP commissioner and new role overseeing Apollo's investment in professional pickleball.

    PPA’s New WPR Rankings Are Already Causing Chaos

    Send us Fan Mail The PPA's new WPR ranking system is officially here — and it's already creating some VERY strange situations. We break down the PPA Arizona draws, including how Ben Johns can be the No. 22 seed in men's singles but receive a double bye, while the No. 1 seed has to start in the Round of 64. Does rewarding overall WPR make sense, or has the new system made the rankings even more confusing? Before Arizona, we recap the latest PPA Asia event and discuss whether American pros are taking advantage of international tournaments to rack up ranking points. If your only goal is improving your ranking, is playing PPA Asia actually the smartest strategy? We also discuss the PPA's new AI line-calling system after several questionable calls, whether players should trust AI over what they see with their own eyes, and what needs to change.

Tyler and Jimmy preview the MLP semifinals and finals in Central Park, including Brooklyn vs. New Jersey, Dallas vs. St. Louis, DreamBreaker possibilities, and Jimmy making a VERY confident prediction about who will win the championship. Then we get into one of the biggest behind-the-scenes issues in professional pickleball: partnerships. Why are players constantly dropping partners? When is it justified? Does loyalty still matter? And should the PPA implement a 30-day rule preventing last-minute partner changes? We also discuss the APP defaulting a team over mismatched uniforms, the new Tesla x Selkirk paddle, some surprising World Pickleball Rankings, and Nick Kyrgios' recent suspension and Stack's decision to stand behind him. 00:00 – Jimmy's Undershirt Debate 00:49 – Welcome to King of the Court 01:35 – The Football Team That Refused to Play 03:13 – Football Brawl & Scott Steiner Connection 04:01 – Pickler Universe 05:32 – Dominator 06:17 – Montis Pickleball 07:52 – Jimmy's Pickleball Comeback & "Kill List" 10:49 – MLP New York Preview 12:13 – Jackie Kawamoto Gets Engaged 13:58 – Brooklyn vs. New Jersey Predictions 16:12 – Jimmy Predicts a Brooklyn Upset 16:51 – Dallas vs. St. Louis Predictions 18:16 – Who Wins the MLP Championship? 19:12 – MLP Takes Over Central Park 20:39 – APP Defaults a Team Over Their Uniforms 23:54 – Tesla x Selkirk's New Paddle 26:20 – Pro Pickleball's Partnership Problem 28:02 – Is Loyalty Dead in Pro Pickleball? 29:39 – When Is Dropping a Partner Justified? 31:04 – Should There Be a 30-Day Rule? 33:44 – PPA's New Qualification Rules 34:31 – The World Pickleball Rankings Get Weird 36:59 – Can Players Game the Ranking System? 39:35 – Grayson Goldin Wins in Malaysia 40:22 – Pickleball Nationals Preview 41:04 – KOTC Live Podcast at Nationals 41:47 – Club Pickleball Mastermind 43:09 – Jimmy's Barefoot Lawn-Mowing Advice 43:47 – Nick Kyrgios' Cocaine Suspension 45:46 – Why Stack Stood Behind Kyrgios 48:12 – The Hypocrisy Controversy 49:31 – Final Thoughts on Kyrgios 50:15 – Wrapping Up Website: https://www.tylerloong.com/  KOTC All Access https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDiH-sjthLCovD8i79-AkWg/join Code “KOTC” for insane discounts at:  https://www.clubpickleballmastermind.com/kotc Code "KOTC" at Montispickleball.com    KOTC Merch - Use “KOTC”  kitchpickleball.com NEW KOTC DISCORD  https://discord.com/invite/kNR65mBemf NEW KOTC CAMEO https://www.cameo.com/morekotc Instagram:  Tyler's IG - @tyler.loong   Jimmy's IG - @jimmymiller_pb KOTC IG - @morekingofthecourt   Facebook:  / tyler.loong    -- Support the show

    Dallas Pulls Off Massive MLP Upset + MLP Playoff Recap

    Send us Fan Mail The MLP playoffs delivered some major surprises, and we're breaking down everything that happened in Newport. The Dallas Flash pulled off a massive upset over Ben Johns and the LA Mad Drops after looking like their season was falling apart just a few months ago. We break down how Dallas turned things around, J.W. Johnson's incredible run of form, LA's DreamBreaker decisions, and whether Ben Johns actually "quit" or Dallas simply outplayed them. We also break down Brooklyn's win over Columbus, Jackie Kawamoto's clutch performance, the Shock continuing to dominate, New Jersey surviving Palm Beach, and our predictions for the MLP semifinals and championship. Then we get into whether drafting singles specialists actually makes sense in MLP, Tyler's PPA Challenger experience in Seattle, a controversial new PPA side-switching rule, and some of the upcoming players making noise at Challenger events. Finally, we discuss the PPA's new World Pickleball Rankings system, why singles, mixed doubles and gender doubles are being combined into one ranking, and some of the strange results the new formula could create.
