ST. GEORGE, UT - The last time that Andrei Daescu and Gabriel Tardio played against Ben and Collin Johns, they pulled off a stunning upset against the top seeds at the Carvana Mesa Arizona Cup back in February.

It looked like a different fate may be in store for the No. 9 seeds on Saturday when the Johns brothers took Game 1 of their semifinal faceoff in just over ten minutes with an 11-1 score line.

But the quick defeat in the opening game didn’t deter Tardio and Daescu, and they eventually took Game 2 13-11 to even the match.

Over the course of the next 14 minutes after securing that game, the tandem did something that had never been done before on the PPA Tour: pickle the Johns brothers.

That’s right—just a zero remained on the Johns’ side of the scoreboard on Humana Championship Court as Tardio and Daescu sprinted towards Championship Sunday behind an 11-0 Game 3 rout.

They’ll take on No. 2 seeds Dylan Frazier and JW Johnson in what will be a rematch of the final of the aforementioned Carvana Mesa Arizona Cup.

Frazier and Johnson came through that encounter with an 11-3, 11-8, 11-9 victory and will be looking for a similar result after booking their spot on Championship Sunday with a 3-11, 11-9, 11-5 victory over Tyson McGuffin and Dekel Bar.
