NEWPORT BEACH, CA (June 7, 2022) -- Last week, at the USA Pickleball Newport Beach Championships, Delray Beach based JW Johnson, 19, reached his third pro Pickleball Triple Crown this year by winning gold medals in Pro Men’s Singles, Pro Mixed Doubles with his sister Jorga Johnson, 15, and Pro Men’s Doubles with Dylan Frazier, 20 (it was JW and Dylan’s 3rd title in a row).

On the Pickler Blog, Stacy Townsend, explained JW’s accomplishments:
"JW Johnson and Dylan Frazier continued their undefeated streak for the third pickleball tournament in a row. Johnson and Frazier (the #1 seed) have not only won gold for three straight pickleball tournaments, but have not lost a single game in three straight pickleball tournaments. Like the women’s doubles champions, Bright and Todd, Johnson and Frazier limited their points given up to just 28 points in the eight games that they played (an average of 3.5 points per game—which was even more impressive than Bright and Todd), including a dominant gold medal match win of 11-3, 11-2."
"JW Johnson, paired with his younger sister and Rising Star Award recipient, Jorja Johnson, continued JW Johnson’s winning streak up until the winners’ bracket final. The Johnson siblings (the #1 seed) dropped the first game (which would be JW’s only game lost on the weekend), but came back to win the match in three games against the #2 seed, Lauren Stratman and Julian Arnold."
In summary, JW Johnson secured the triple crown, which is no easy feat. With a triple crown on the line for JW, pressure can certainly creep into play, but not for Jorja Johnson, who noted that she felt no pressure helping her brother secure the triple crown because “at the end of the day, [JW] is still my brother.”
