What an exciting match. These are some of the best players I have seen regardless of age. All players are cool as cucumbers at the NVZ. I saw third, fifth, and seventh shot drops. These players could compete in a heck of a lot younger age groups without a doubt. No missed serves. No missed returns, just fabulous all-around play. Thank you for sharing.
I’m also curious as to why they kept rallying with the overheads. Both sides could’ve put away several points right at the end yet they kept returning to the middle of the court. Is there a strategy there that I’m missing ?
I'd have picked more on blue boys backhand and hit behind him. He is a poaching fool. Surprised not to see a lob or two in the midst of those dink battles. Noticed only one from way back on the baseline. Fun match though after a long day of play.
Give it up for the Ladies 👏 What about the 2 women ? Boy, did they hold their own and were so consistent !!! That's some awesome Pickleball. !!! Very impressive !!! -Laura
15:44 ....sooooo satisfying to watch! LOL I mean why doesn't dude just play singles? LMAO. Probably her husband and can you even imagine her poor life at home with this guy?
Blue boy would have been taught a lesson on 'staying Home" and covering his own territory if I had been on the opposing side. Hard to watch them let him get away with non-stop endless poaches. His partner just steps out of the way and sometimes off of the court to allow him to simply play them singlehandedly on most points. SMH
At 10 - 9 why didn't Blue Tights fake a Smash and do a Light Drop into the Kitchen (He had several opportunities). Both Opponents were back near the Baseline waiting for the Smashes that just kept coming :)
Longest trip to the kitchen I've ever seen on that point. They finally arrived at the kitchen around ball 40. Guy in blue leggings has a lot of skill, but also made a lot of mental errors, some big and some small. Woman in white taught him a lesson on how to dig down and stay within yourself.

They’re cool for sure, but I’d say they’re worn out. I wonder how many matches it takes to win the tournament?

dude in the blue stockings has quite the attitude. So glad the other team won!!!!!!!!!
Why do say that? DId I miss something?
that last point was a lesson in patience. Patience wins in pickleball. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for bringing the action! Appreciate your coverage!
that was a great match! Very sound play by both teams. Some of the most skilled players (especially in that age bracket) that I've seen on UA-cam.
That last point was some amazing defense!
Wow what a match! That was great!
Saw this match....One of the best at the Open!!! Go Steve and Moira!!!
Lady in white best player on the court.
I agree!!!
She has fast hands and the ability to reset from anywhere on the court.
This was a great match!! Enjoyed it!
what a good match and a good come back from behind

I agree. I find the guys often try to dominate. The women are as skilled.
Nice game for both teams!
The lady in the white on the last point... WOW!
wow what a match! fantastic touch
Great game ! Old people rule.
"experienced" people :-)
60 is not old. I am there and I feel (in my mind) like I was 16.😉
As they should.,,
Great play
Played on this court today, although not a game close to the skill level in this video. Great game.
that was incredible.....
Sweeet game.
Great commentator.
Thanks!
Interesting game. Ping Pong/badminton.
Hitting around 1.5 on the enthusiasm meter.
No kidding. Show some life or go take a nap.
and the fun meter
Good play 4.5 plus I would guess
Girl in the black shirt is good
15:44 ....sooooo satisfying to watch! LOL I mean why doesn't dude just play singles? LMAO. Probably her husband and can you even imagine her poor life at home with this guy?
What a horrible thing to say. You have no idea about their home life. You don’t know them. Your comment is sad
@@timsalive how do you know I don't know them? Are you "offended"? Lol. Settle down, Karen!

I didn't watch all the game but does blue shorts guy suppose to hit the ball if he" closer and it's his for hand

Love how the guys run into their female partners court to hit the ball.
@4:20 why does the guy in the blue shorts start the serve at 3-2-1? His partner had been the first server up til then. Very confusing.
The gentleman in the black hat just keeps poaching.
Consistent players...the last point was super fu to watch

4.0+ rating?
The "age" bracket is made up of players 4.0-5.0 level. Presumably, all players in the gold medal match are high 5.0.
5.0 + level, the black shirt, his name is Steve Cole seniors pro
i have'nt got any sound
Gee, another poacher in mixed doubles.
it's just ping pong on a tennis court...
They couldn't hit it to the guy, just to his wife. Funny to watch.
