Pickleball Coach & PPA Tour Commentator

Bio

Tony Roig coaches at Better Pickleball and commentates on the PPA Tour. His teaching focuses on the modern doubles game — return-of-serve pressure, the fourth-shot middle cover, hands battles, transition resets, and reading partner-and-opponent dynamics in mixed. His YouTube channel is one of the most-cited strategy resources in the rec community.

PIQ Challenge

This challenge is built from a single broadcast: the bronze-medal mixed-doubles match between Christian Alshon & Rachel Rohrbacher and Gabe Tardio & Catherine Parenteau at the 2026 Veolia Atlanta Pickleball Championships. Tony’s call surfaced enough actionable strategy to fill 15 questions across the 3.5 to 6.0 tiers — return of serve, middle cover, when to keep attacking the same spot, when to reset, and what “getting too big” looks like in mixed.
