A final between two tour regulars in Brisbane shows how deep pro singles has become. Australian players can treat the stream as a free lesson in shot selection under pressure.
Tyra Hurricane Black partnered Jorja Johnson to secure a place among the last eight in women’s doubles at the Australia Pickleball Cup in Brisbane on October 15. The official match record shows an 11–5, 11–2 victory over Bernadette Massih and Talia Saunders.

For coaches in the region, a home event with this many tour regulars is a rare chance to study top-level doubles patterns live, while the overnight ET stream lets North American players follow along too.
The WALKER Australia Pickleball Cup, a PPA1500 stop with a purse above US$500,000, starts its pro rounds at Brisbane's Queensland Tennis Centre this week, and every champion collects 1,500 ranking points.
Previewing the draw for The Dink, Erik Tice lists Federico Staksrud and Kaitlyn Christian as the singles favourites, Gabe Tardio and Hayden Patriquin atop the men's doubles and the Johnson siblings, Jorja and JW, leading mixed. Home hope Sahra Dennehy is the second seed in women's singles. Matches stream overnight for North America on the PPA Tour's YouTube channel.

Australian coaches get a rare home look at tour-level doubles. The wet forecast is also a reminder to prepare players for delays and slick outdoor courts.
When Federico Staksrud could not travel to the Australia Pickleball Cup because of visa problems, Christian Alshon turned to Benjamin Bramblett, his social media manager and full-time hitting partner. Bramblett, a left-hander who last played pro events years ago, and Alshon go back three years.
The stand-in pair won their round of 32 match 11-4, 11-2, took the round of 16 and reached the men's doubles quarterfinals against No. 11 seeds George Wall and Joey Wild. Alshon admitted expectations were modest after Bramblett's long break from tour play.

Solid fundamentals travel: a regular practice partner who knows a pro’s patterns can hold up at tour level, which is why a steady hitting partner matters so much in training.
Northern Crocs won the Brisbane Premier stop of Major League Pickleball Australia on October 11, beating Pacific Flame 3–1 in the final. World Pickleball Magazine reports that the Crocs reversed their earlier pool defeat to the same opponents.
Their route included a 21–19 DreamBreaker victory against The Coasters in the semifinal. Andie Dikosavljevic and Prycen Haas then secured the decisive mixed doubles game in the final, 11–7. The result completes the Brisbane event rather than deciding the season championship.
