A bad week for the Johns, a big merger, visa issues and MLPA/PPA shock changes

In this week's World Pickleball Podcast, Chris Beaumont and Gordon Watson discuss the pickleball news from the last week or so.

There are major changes in global governance following the merger of the WPF and IPF, creating a new World Pickleball Federation.

It's all change in Australia with the MLPA and PPA events being restructured, causing schedule upheavals.

Ben Johns and Collin Johns have had better weeks - Ben got knocked out in the R62 in the latest PPA event and Collin has been dropped by the Carolina Hogs in MLP and was not redrafted by another Premier team.

There's also some visa issues for two top Australian players who had been drafted for MLP.

All this and more in the latest World Pickleball Podcast!
