Zane Explains: Women’s Players to Watch in 2022

Jorja Johnson – When she’s not catching “dubs” in PubG, Jorja is improving her pickleball game. I praised Gabriel Tardio for having a bazooka of a backhand, and I have to give the same praise to Jorja. To this date, there are only two teenage girls (to my knowledge) that hit the ball harder than I do (And harder than you do too), Jorja and Anna Leigh.

Jorja has quick hands and some serious finishing power. As Julie Johnson once said “If you don’t have quick hands around our family, you’re just going to get hit”. It’s great to see her refine the other parts of her game as well. First years are a bit tough for players, especially on the women’s side where the fields are generally not super deep. Jorja started to land some solid partners in the second half of 2021, and I think she’s going to keep rolling into 2022. (Article)
