This is the latest edition of the Open Power Rankings for the 2018 season.

As expected, the #2 power ranked Wabi Sabi (Jarratt Rouse and Preston Bies) earned a first-place finish rather easily. The results outside of that victory were a bit less expected. As mentioned in our tournament preview, Tyler Cisek and Peter Jon Showalter of the #1 power ranked Cisek/Showalter played separately at this event. This made...
Note: This post was written by Dylan Fogarty. Man oh man have I missed writing about roundnet. I might not have played in a tournament for a while, but don’t you think that I wasn’t watching video, commenting on live streams, and staying up to date with all of the great moments of the 2017 season. I can’t wait to get back into the flow in 2018, and I can’t think of a better way to kick it off other than some of the hottest takes around.
