Anna Leigh Waters and Noe Khlif faced off against Tina Pisnik and Dekel Bar in two intense mixed doubles battles between the New Jersey 5s and Palm Beach Royals — and both times, Waters and Khlif came up short.

This video brings together both games, featuring long rallies, incredible defense, tactical adjustments and plenty of momentum swings as Pisnik and Bar find a way to get the better of one of pickleball’s toughest mixed doubles opponents.

One of the biggest momentum shifts comes when New Jersey makes the decision to stack Anna Leigh on the left and Noe on the right — a setup rarely seen in mixed doubles — as they look for answers against the Royals.

Watch both battles and see how Pisnik and Bar managed to take down Waters and Khlif twice.
