Brooklyn`s stunning victory over Los Angeles highlights resilience and thrilling competition in Major League Pickleball.

In a thrilling showdown at the Major League Pickleball (MLP) events in San Clemente, the Brooklyn Pickleball Team showcased their tenacity by overcoming the formidable Los Angeles Mad Drops. Despite missing their regular male starters, Brooklyn`s AJ Koller and Rafa Hewett stepped up as on-site alternates, delivering a performance that will be remembered. Koller, in particular, shone brightly alongside Rachel Rohrabacher in mixed doubles, defeating the talented duo of Catherine Parenteau and Quang Duong, sealing a hard-fought victory for Brooklyn.

The Los Angeles Mad Drops, who entered the match riding a seven-game winning streak, faced unexpected challenges as Hunter Johnson and Quang Duong struggled in men’s doubles against the dynamic pairings of Blaine Hovenier/Ryan Fu and Koller/Hewett. With a record of 11-5 and 30 points, the Mad Drops will be eager to rebound in their upcoming clash against Utah.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Flames and SoCal Hard Eights are set to ignite the court in Saturday Night Pickleball. The Hard Eights, despite a tough Friday, demonstrated resilience, pushing the Mad Drops to a DreamBreaker and holding leads against the Columbus Sliders. With high-energy players like Blaine Hovenier, their match against ‘Team Showtime’ promises to be a spectacle. Fans can catch all the action starting at 10 am PT on Grandstand Court and 11 am PT on Championship Court, available on Pickleball news. Additionally, the 2025 Nutmeg Pickleball Series is underway, serving as a qualifying tournament for the PPA Amateur State Championship in Dallas and the State Games of America in State College, Pennsylvania, further enriching the vibrant pickleball landscape in the U.S.
