In the United States, a rare mixed‑gender showdown at the MLP Orlando tournament saw top players Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters team up against New Jersey 5s and Los Angeles Mad Drops. The match produced a historic rally lasting over two minutes with more than 100 ball contacts, a record described by observers as the most exciting point in pickleball history. Waters and partner Noe Khlif ultimately secured the point, helping New Jersey 5s win the match 12‑10.
