Nineteen triple crowns for Ben Johns. Another nineteen for Anna Leigh Waters.
And a ninth triple crown for each together.
The duo paired up and were all aces in Las Vegas, both taking singles and doubles events on Championship Sunday and winning the mixed doubles match after James Ignatowich had to withdraw because of a sprained left ankle he suffered Saturday in the men’s quarterfinal.
Lots of Ben. Lots of ALW on Sunday. And here are your takeaways from the finals in Vegas:
Men’s Singles
Johns gave some credit to his bench support team, which included brother Collin, as Ben defeated Aanik Lohani, 11-3, 11-7 in men’s singles.
“Collin helped me with some pattern stuff,” Ben said of playing the No. 23-seeded Lohani. “I needed to do a little research before I played him.”
Ben beat Lohani back in Denver earlier this summer, but Lohani certainly had to be considered a somewhat unknown heading into the tournament where he had a number of impressive wins. But like he’s done so many times before, Ben Johns was able to distance himself from the rest of the men’s field on the way to another title.
Women’s Singles
How much confidence did…
