The 2025 Major League Pickleball season continues this week at Edward Jones MLP Phoenix, where seven Premier level teams will be in action across four days at the Arizona Athletic Grounds.
This is the fourth of ten regular season events that will take place between April and August, and each team will play a total of 25 matches during the regular season before the playoffs.
10:05 pm PT: Mad Drops surge past Flames in regulation
The Los Angeles Mad Drops (2-3, 7pts) closed out Thursday's action with a regulation victory over the Phoenix Flames (2-7, 7pts).
Neither team was at full strength, with Spencer Smith taking Quang Duong's place for Los Angeles and Alex Walker filling in for Genie Bouchard for Phoenix.
The Mad Drops put themselves in full control of the contest by taking both men's and women's doubles. Walker and Jack Sock put Phoenix on the board by winning the first mixed doubles match, but Jade Kawamoto/Hunter Johnson went on to beat Jessie Irvine/Tyson McGuffin in the second mixed doubles match to close out the encounter in regulation.
