So happy for Anna.. She's got a killer give it all fire and works really hard.. Zane is is inzane and awesome.. Rohrabracher seems realy nice . Daescue is great and not and ahole like crybaby Alshon and Riley role eye.. Feel bad for the Kawamoto girls ...
I get the vibe that it would be hard to be teammates with Riley Newman. I’m thinking low emotional IQ. Something about him wanting that gold has sort of cursed him to be second. I used to root for him but his tantrums just aren’t a good look. Absolutely EPIC finals! It really seems like they all take their game to a whole new level in this format.
Egregious foot fault called against R. Newman at a pivotal moment in the game. R. Newman then let it affect his next shot which was unforced and went into the net. Excellent match to watch otherwise. On a different note, I am not sure why people feel like they need to give their negative opinion of someone...especially since they are hiding/cowering under an unknown alias. I've guess it's tough to see what you construe as defects by others when you have no flaws of your own...or does it make you feel like a better person by degrading others?
SPOILER ALERT! DON"T READ UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN THE MATCH. Great match! So glad to see Anna's team win. She and Zane are two of my favorite players, and the more I see of Andrei and Rachel, the more I like them.
i think they held them back cause they knew the squeeze would have to put their best team first to make sure it goes to four games. Then theyd have a better chance if it did go to four. But that didnt exactly work out. I would have never guessed the squeeze would win that last mixed game. GOod for them!
Michelle “mute button” McMahon??? She knows even less about announcing (or the English language, for that matter) than the game she’s trying to call. “Eight AM this morning”? Really? Bring in Dave Fleming and let Adam continue with his fine color work.
Adam Stone is an excellent commentator, extremely knowledgeable of the game and the players, Cameron does a nice job as well. Michelle McMahon has improved about 200% from when she started. She still gets me tempted to hit the mute button with her skills of a B-student from a community college sportscasting class, ESPN-wannabe style. At least she learned a little bit about the sport about which she is commenting, unlike her early days when she was simply an ignoramus. And maybe this criticism is an unfair one as perhaps it is a characteristic over which she has no more control than her height or eyecolor, but I find the sound of any female with a gravelly, cigarette voice like McMahon’s to be the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard. I vastly prefer Lauren McLaughlin, who is much more knowledgeable, has a more smooth delivery, and avoids the exaggerated tough clipped- alternating thrilled, delivery style like a caricature of a European soccer announcer. Too bad McLaughlin is stuck with the B-list APP Tour.
I think he doesn't actually touch the line, no fault, especially when you zoom in on the reply from the net, his foot was over perhaps which tricked the ref, but never actually touched, can't blame her, they should've challenged
At the start of the fourth match, I predict Kawamoto and Newman will be throwing up a lot of offensive lobs. Zane doesn’t quite get to 5’8” and he’s quite a bit taller than his partner. Too bad the rules changed to prohibit effective spins serves, which allowed a shorter player, like Zane to have a bit more competitiveness related only to the player’s skill, not physical attributes. Having taken one of Zane’s clinics (excellent, highly recommended) and received one of his old spin serves, I can tell you that it was like trying to hit a Nolan Ryan fastball or take a Mike Tyson punch. Edit: well, I was wrong, I don’t recall seeing a single lob in that one, although I skipped ahead a few points. Youth and athleticism reduce the effectiveness of a lob. Really good match.

Agree
That was some of the best doubles I have ever seen!
Zane was cheated out of the MVP award. I'd even say Rachel was #2
The best Final match!

You can always count on the Newman choke 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoyable tournament.
The "BEST" PB!!!!!!!!
@Zane Navaratil and Team great games
ANNA B was not to be denied!!

Unbelievable 🎉
Andrei got a big squeeze on Rachel at the end.

Great match! So glad to see Anna's team win. She and Zane are two of my favorite players, and the more I see of Andrei and Rachel, the more I like them.
Go Squeeze
“He literally threw the book at them.”-Camryn Irwin. 😢
I don't know why they didn't put Riley and Jade up first to try to seal the deal - do you guys think that would have changed the results?

A-MEN! Not to be rude, but she needs to find another line of work.
37:15 sheesh
I wish they would be quiet during the points- or just quiet period.
1:18:38 I don’t see the foot fault… bad call?
No, his left (our right) toe drags on the line when he hits the volley. Was a great call. It's really difficult to see unless you go .25 speed.
I think he doesn't actually touch the line, no fault, especially when you zoom in on the reply from the net, his foot was over perhaps which tricked the ref, but never actually touched, can't blame her, they should've challenged
I like the serving rule in the mlp doubles. I think this must be an official rule for all the competitions
At the start of the fourth match, I predict Kawamoto and Newman will be throwing up a lot of offensive lobs. Zane doesn’t quite get to 5’8” and he’s quite a bit taller than his partner.

A couple of bad line calls from Riley Newman. Seems like he’s been watching too many of Salome Devidze’s matches. I can’t stand hookers.
i just now heard of this sport...this is YET another variation of tennis we got like 5 sports like this already wtf
Dc should have won lol
I haven't watched this... and this is the first comment I see... DAMN IT!
Screw you for this comment. My god.
@YourYugiohTrades I feel for you bro. I tried to not get spoiled myself but found out yesterday
First thing popped up in my Facebook yesterday and it was too late to look away 😂
There should be a law that says no spoilers for 72 hours!
