Mixed doubles: Onsins & Black win a five-game battle
The Sunday afternoon mixed doubles final was the highlight of this tournament. The pair of Erik Onsins and Tyra Black defeated the Johnson siblings, Jorja & JW, in a full five-game set.
Black had injured her hamstring in the women's doubles that same morning and competed with her leg taped. She took the first game 11-7, but the Johnson siblings ran off the second and third games 11-6 and 11-3, seizing the momentum. In the fourth and fifth games, however, Onsins wrested back control with aggressive play using the width of the court, closing out both 11-8.
For Onsins, it washis first mixed doubles title in the U.S.. He won a men's doubles double title at an Asian tournament in 2025, but this is his first gold on U.S. soil. Black won this season with Alshon at the Indoor National Championships, making this her second mixed doubles gold medal. In the post-match interview,both showed tearsconveying the weight of the win.

In the men's singles quarterfinals, there was a moment whenHunter Johnson was disqualified. During a timeout in the third game against Zane Ford, he threw his paddle toward the bench with his left hand; the handle bounced off the ground and hit a spectator's leg in the stands.

Notable topics from the tournament
A technical warning to Onsins: In the men's doubles quarterfinals (vs. Pablo Tellez & Jack Sock, with partner Dylan Frazier), Onsins was given a technical warning for blowing on the ball. On social media, voices calling it "too harsh" arose, stirring controversy.
The impact of absent key players: With Waters, Bright, and others back from the Asian tournament sitting out, the draw was configured differently than usual. As a result, it became a tournament that shone a light on rapidly rising young and mid-tier players such as Onsins and Staksrud.
Reactions on social media and on-site
The Dink reporter: "When I immediately posted on X about Onsins's ball-blowing TW, there was a big response. Debate continues, including over the correctness of the call."
Pickleball fan (X): "Black fighting through five games while limping and then crying — that's got to be the best moment of the season."
U.S. pickleball community: "Staksrud winning every match in straight games is on another level. He probably would have won even if Waters- or Johns-caliber players had competed."
Impact on the Finals qualifying race
This tournament's results tie directly into the Carvana PPA Tour's Finals qualifying battle. Johns & Tardio's men's doubles is rock-solid, but in mixed doubles and women's doubles pairing fluidity is high, and the balance of power could shift greatly in future tour stops.
Summary
The final day of the Sacramento Open was packed with memorable scenes: Black & Onsins fighting through to their first mixed doubles crown despite injury, and Staksrud's undefeated sweep. The PPA Tour moves on to the next stop, but it's worth watching whether the new champions born here can keep their momentum into the second half of the season.
