In this episode of King of the Court, we break down one of the most chaotic weeks in pickleball in a long time. From controversial line calls and cheating accusations to a shocking disqualification mid match and everything in between.

KOTC dives into the drama surrounding the U.S. Open, including questionable calls, player reactions, and the growing conversation around officiating and accountability in pro pickleball.

KOTC talks Pickle Slam, where ALW faced off against tennis legends and sparked debate after being frozen out in doubles.

We also cover the Sacramento Open, including Hunter Johnson’s DQ, Eric Oncins’ viral “blow over the net” moment, and why inconsistency in officiating is becoming a major issue in the sport.

Plus:

* Should certain on-court behaviors be considered unsportsmanlike?

* Does the sport need better rules and enforcement ASAP?

* And what happens when the biggest stars aren’t playing… is it actually better?

Drop your thoughts in the comments: Was this week bad for pickleball… or exactly what the sport needs?
