The Delhi Dilli Dillwale are your champions for Season 2 of the World Pickleball League (WPBL). Delhi won the title by beating the first-seeded Chennai Super Champs in the season’s final match: a Men’s Doubles clash between the Super Champs’ Tanner Tomassi and Do Minh Quan and the Dillwale’s Max Manthou and Erik Lange.
Chennai dominated the group stage, racing out to a 5-0 start before losing to Pune United in their no-bearing final match. United’s stunner set up a rematch with the Super Champs in the semis, while the Bengaluru Jawans took on Delhi in the other knockout bracket.
The Super Champs sealed the first finals berth with a 3-1 win over United on the strength of two early wins from Rika Fujiwara and the pair of Hoang Nam Ly and Carlota Trevino. The Dillwale then dethroned Season 1 winners Bengaluru with a similar 3-1 win highlighted by three straight victories after an opening-match loss.
In the finals, Delhi and Chennai exchanged wins in the first four matches, with the Super Champs’ Fujiwara drawing first blood before Manthou and Tram Huynh levelled the score with a Mixed Doubles victory. Ly gave Chennai the lead back by trouncing compatriot Hien Truong in Men’s Singles. Delhi tied things up after Huynh and Mihae Kwon beat Carlota Trevino and Domenika Turkovic in Women’s Doubles.
Delhi’s all-American duo of Manthou and Erik Lange then outclassed Chennai’s Tanner Tomassi and Do Minh Quan in Season 2’s final face-off to seal the championship.
