[@Vanessa-pe2xs]

Very satisfying to watch...can't wait for a new number one in pickleball. I was proud of AL taking the loss like a mature human and not sulking and storming off.

[@everyprophet1]

Dude is a beast and quickly rising. I like this duo’s chemistry

[@jimmychafins]

Sorry James sit this one out…lol

[@zachcarmichael699]

@@jimmychafins She and James used to have separate partners...I think she wanted him to play with her since they were a couple. Probably prevented some arguments if he beat her on the other side.

[@Vanessa-pe2xs]

Shhh... James doesn't wanna hear about his girls' "chemistry" with another dude. Especially while he's laid up sidelined. Haha JK

[@mariar4624]

So good. Happy for Anna and Andrei. Class act duo.

[@Squaredot01]

Amazing how consistent AB and Daescu were in the wind. They hardly missed a shot.

[@Starry737]

So happy for Daescu and Bright! Well done!

[@kcarwen5262]

I’ve never seen Ben make so many unforced errors

[@htt68]

Anna Bright been working hard all these years! Love her!

[@Dmocification]

The hyper Aggressive play Of Andrei is changing the game.

[@TheGrimReaper13Seconds]

He’s the king of the counter. He’s a pretty conservative player until the opportunity presents itself

[@lebronsinclair8012]

@@TheGrimReaper13Secondsexactly I wouldn’t describe him as hyper aggressive. His defense is top notch.

[@judymckee5992]

The best mixed double combination against the top seed. Wow congrats, cool and steady.

[@JustinPowellConsulting]

Andrei's get at 9:45 is insane. His defense gave them a couple of points...all the difference at that level.

[@THEspindoctor84]

saw this comment first, then watched the match...wow, you are totally right. what a point from Andrei

[@sallad2645]

The point at 9:40 is a perfect example of why Anna Bright is winning with Daescu and not James. Andrei and Anna are SO GOOD at digging out of points they're losing.

[@jetaimefidelis]

It is great to see different players winning the gold. It so so refreshing!

[@richardsheets7380]

Daescu and Bright really locked down with their defense and leveled up their play. They utilized the third player on the court very well. (The Wind). More exposure to wind during practice can help reactions and play.

[@cbvoicenotes267]

Great match ladies and gents! AB and Andrei Daescu with some match winning points...the wind definitely played a HUGE rule on this tournament day. ALW and BJ just weren't at the races this time. Congrats on the dub!

[@utsavmathur1478]

Very satisfying match!!

[@THEspindoctor84]

great game. Commentators were obsessed with the wind - not every thing that happens in a windy game is because of the wind. It effects each team equally!

[@Goofymonkey11]

Yeah, I agree. These are the best players in the world who have played in wind many hours. The other team didn’t make errors that ALW and Ben were consistently making.

[@Ramona0827]

Congratulations 🎉🎉!

[@rmonsipapa]

Love to see more of this team up Anna/Andrei, well deserved...

[@deanmarty5956]

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Mr.Martini549]

Not sure how Ben and AL let that game 2 get away. Andrei just took over in game 3. Dude is a beast.

[@karanadon137]

I like the color of the court, but it does make it seem like I'm watching a partially gray-scaled video. :)

[@Anonymous-bx9xt]

Finally, someone beat them! :)

[@TheBham54]

Yeah, finals were getting a little boring. Great to see some new blood at the top.

[@ralphwilliams2208]

When this comment is the top comment, it's a spoiler. 😢

[@maisiehendrix4138]

Bro you literally spoiled it

[@shayshay5412]

Congratulations

[@lucyli1742]

Wind played as the 5th player on court.

[@jimmychafins]

That was all Daescu!! He’s on fire right now

[@donaldedwards3997]

Might be a problem when james comes back lol . Her and andri dominated this match

[@williamdowling7718]

Please include a replay when theres a challenge... Its frustrating to hear a challenge called, then the video cuts straight to the ref making the call. It would be nice to see the shot again, especially in slow mo.

[@Simplentertainments]

What was the wind speed on that day? Seems that the wind plays a huge factor here for both sides. 😮

[@grantharrispb]

Andrei was so dominant, and you could tell it messed with AL.

[@ejude6513]

Wow Andre...you are a force to be reckoned with at APP, and now PPA too? Good job big guy! Big Papa Jimmy 's game is power, Andre is more finesse and consistency. No offense to James but Andre compliments Anna's game better. They should team up more.

[@cwarner5909]

Wow, that wasn't a win it was a beat down. After the comeback in game two you just sensed that it was over.

[@dagma3437]

Finally!

[@jmeib]

Hopefully this one doesn't have amateur production quality issues 🙄

[@khgriffi]

exactly! here we go…

[@LegacyLou]

Don't talk over the referee! Great match to watch!

[@UltraAnt_]

Good to see them take an L and a new winner crowned.

[@user-pq3js6px5h]

Andrei played better than Ben. Too many errors from both top seeds.

[@thomaswilliams6155]

How about this for a great idea; when ben is not having a good day let AL become the alpha so been can watch her shine, as we all know she can. Go ben and anna

[@kushbd]

She was more off than Ben, at least in the first half of the match.

[@kevinang5836]

look after yr own court, Waters can hold her own very well...lol

[@Willy_MS1]

1:23 might be a foot fault by daescu

[@josephplayspickleball]

very close but it does look like he got his foot back down before contact.

[@technicaltrader7413]

So wonderful to see another great team get the gold

[@jeremymarble6172]

swept!

[@jamesdacus7367]

Andrei Daescu HARD carried

[@davidmoore9102]

Not discrediting this team for winning but I’m seeing the back ground this weather just sucks

[@DannyBPlays]

Can't blame the wind for losing because they would've taken the trophy for winning with the wind

[@VividTape]

Gotta love how Andre is now caught cheating, wonder how long that has been going on for?

[@khgriffi]

how p*ssed is James right now? 😅

[@lucyli1742]

Andrei thanked his wife and kids during the interview… lol .

[@lucyli1742]

James is making way too many mistakes… plus, jumping too much on court… consistently.

[@tessan.7476]

What's funny about that? 🤔​@@lucyli1742

[@ImportantComment]

Andrei > James

[@phyllisrosen7637]

Stop talking Fleming!

[@tessan.7476]

At 35:01 walked back onto the court and gave a wave. It's almost as though she forgot she just lost 🤷🏾

[@dschwarz6069]

She was waving at the other referee to thank them. She does this every match.

[@kayakair1]

I bet that was the hardest thing she has done in years! She is growing up!? 🤔

[@GoldenPickled]

I don’t know what went wrong. A lot of errors and Ben just doesn’t seem to play well against daescu

[@dururururuuuu]

Daescu deserves a lot of credit; it's not just Ben having off days. Daescu has great patience, fundamentals, defense, soft game and counters. That style of play completely neutralizes any opponent. Go rewatch Daescu/Tardio beating the Johns to see. And you also need a great partner to hold up their side of the court. BJ and ALW are excellent, but imo have been playing sub-par competition for a long time. New wave of better players coming for them.
