Waters/Bright vs Kawamoto/Kawamoto at the Zimmer Biomet Cape Coral Open

And a bright against her partner. You gotta get it in and get it done. Point. The Kawamoto side, so talk about those wind conditions. Kaitlin Christian affirms what you have been talking about all day. Good shot. So good with Jade. Protecting the middle. Jade and Jackie love to lob on that side into the wind. I still think it's a viable shot. You just gotta put more into it. So we'll see if they do do that. It's been a very effective part of their game plan. Second serve. Zero, one, two. Side out. This should work from Waters and Bright. One, zero, one. So good. Second serve. And they are just as good as anybody. You wanna know why the pros dink and why when you come in person, watch the Kawamoto's move the ball around the kitchen. Side out. And Bright hits an out ball. Natalie nods. Yes, you did. Sure did. Never, never three in the same spot unless they just own a person. Zero, one, one. That is obviously not the case today. Point. So the ladies play off the line more, so you don't get as many of those, but Bright just must have just had a tiptoe. Oh, I mean, full swing and a miss and it was out. The set up though from Annaleigh. Two, one, one. It's tough to get Jade off balance. Three, one, one. Annaleigh said, do you wanna switch out of this? Anna Bright said no. Oh, ATP. The wide dink set up from Anna Bright. Three, one, two. Jade was in pretty good position there. Side out. Watch her smoke behind the panel of Anna Bright for that ball. Now they go back and do stack. Annaleigh as they serve on the left. One, three, one. Second serve. One, three, two. Point. Two, three, two. Just so beautiful from Jackie. So if you can't hit it through him, hit it softly. Exactly, because Annaleigh had two or three great digs in the middle of that rally, and that's just so smart from Jackie. Three, two, one. Second serve. Three, two, two. So Annaleigh has redlined a couple directly into the net. Four, two, two. Right. Timeout. Timeout receivers. Five, two, two. Biggest lead so far in the match. Instant timeout for your prediction of Annaleigh Waters. Five, two, two. Point. Another one. Six, two, two. Side out. Two, six, one. It's tough to find Jade's feet when they've done it two rallies in a row. That was wide. There was a break turning up the Jets a little bit. Yeah, three misses from Jade, which sounds like a whole match, let alone half a game. Four, six, two. Side out. Move your feet indeed, Anna Bright. Always good advice. Six, four, one. Second serve. In the back of Jade a couple of times. Ann on it, but not making it. Running forward and sending it at the first human she sees. She does it again. She did that twice in a mix. Patrick Lynn. I've tried that shot at home before, Dave, and it doesn't work as well for me. Four, six, two. I'm sure your friends love it. Turn up the baseline. That is a really tough ball with the wind at your back to judge that just right. There's the lead. Six off. But the difficulty of making that lob, man, that was really nice from Anna Lee Walters. Time in. Six, six, two. Nine or nine out of 10, Jade, and we're closer to six here today. The sound effects from Anna Bright. Mic her up. Spectacular. Screaming at her partner to get to the ball at the net, and then perfect shot on the opening. He's feeling for Jade there in the middle. Comes from out of nowhere. I mean, despite a rough seven, eight minutes, down two, go do something with the ball right here. Oh boy. Still going. Out of there somehow. After a few of the rally stands, the ball was out. Loss of challenge, no free challenge remaining. One free challenge remaining. We'll resume play at six, eight, two. There was a lot of Anna Lee and Anna Bright kawamotoing the kawamotos theirs. They were the ones kind of behind in the rallies. Six, eight, two. Side out. Eight, six, one. Point. Took it just out of strike zone for Jackie. Nine, six, one. Second serve. Nine, six, two. Shots from Jackie. Fabulous. She started and it was ready with the next one. Just make it look easy. Six, nine, one. Kawamoto magic continues. Wow. I mean, kawabunga on that one. That was spectacular. And I mean, that's a clean winner against a great player. All she can do is watch. Nine, quarters. Raise the favor back. Second serve here for the kawamotos. Seven, nine, two. Point. Huge swing. Timeout, A.L. Dumb. Okay. Free challenge, timeout receiver. Eight, nine, two. 45 seconds. Watch from that close, too. Point. Ooh, nice deep serve. Gets Anna Bright in trouble. Tie game. Nine, nine, two. Sequence, Anna Bright saves her team from going down game point. And that is a heartbreaker for the kawamotos because Jade came in there firing and an unbelievable dip from Anna Bright and then she is the one that gets to put it away. One is on the brink of eruption. Now game point. Swings the other way. Ten, nine, one. Oh. Second serve. Ten, nine, two. Game point number two. Jade ready and able to weaponize the speed up from Waters. She ever. Peacock power right there. Nine, ten, one. Second serve. Nine, ten, two. Side out. Not sharp from Jade on that reset opportunity. Couldn't get it to bounce. Ten, nine, one. Game point number three. Second serve. One of the attack. Game point four now. Waters trying to close out. Ten, nine, two. The kawamotos. I mean, they won't give it to you. They'll outweigh you too. Nine, ten, one. In putting the ball away is in question but they can keep the ball alive forever. Second serve. And they are here with a Jade that has three more levels above this too. Nine, ten, two. So, stealing this game and then finding Jade's best. It's just a penalty in the face. Lava's dropping in and Anna Bright pops her paddle in seeing the same thing. Game point five. Ten, nine, one. That's the classic inside out Jade attack that was beautiful right there. Okay. Ten, nine, two. For six. Side out. Third. Nine, ten, one. Second serve. Jackie looks really frustrated after that miss. Her hands in the air, come on. Nine, ten, two. As only sisters can do. Side out. I didn't listen the first time. Annalie Moore sternly. Yes. Told her to bounce it. Ten, nine, one. Seven game points here in game one. Denied. Anna Bright is there on the counter attack. 11, nine. Took 20 minutes to close it out at the same score line. It felt like. Game two coming up next. Best three out of five in women's doubles. And if she does, we could have a longer match here. If she doesn't, it'll be a threeer. Through the final. What a shot. Jade must've heard ya. Good. Do it again. That was awesome. Held it. Just ripped it through there. That's nice. One, zero, two. Point. Call is deep. Water's looking. Whether or not it's worth it to challenge. Anna Bright said it is not. Two, zero, two. Side out. Making a dynamic point across the board. Indeed. That's what it takes. And those are the types of points we see when all four are on their best level. So excellent rally. Good start for the Kalamotos. Point. One, two, one. Come on! Down it goes. That's the margin. So on the, with that extra little wind at your back, it's hard to be as fine with the dinks and Anna Lee makes her pay. Two, two, one. Anna Bright on her counter attacks to save the lead. Still a one point lead with it. Yes, and using that new pro five with the kinetic frame. Watch out, everybody. Little more flexible there for that new pro five series from Yola. That was nice. Second serve. Right back at ya. Three, two, two. So good from Jackie. I think Jackie's been very good in this match. So let's just get the Wonder Twin powers activated here. Big gust. Ooh, that one catches. But yeah, in Cincinnati, they were so in sync. The Kalamotos, to your point. Each one playing their best brand. Double back. Side out. That's going to have the wind pull that drop shot away from Jackie approaching. So that's perfectly played from A.L. Dunn there. Three, two, one. Second serve. Three, two, two. Side out. Wow, two missed thirds from Anna Lee right there. Two, three, one. Oh, what a shot. I mean, now both of them have had just a ridiculous roll from the aviary. You got the flamingo in one hand and the peacock in the other. Bumble from Anna Bright and the Kalamotos. Four, three, one. The MLP's got that summer to himself, and that'll be fun. Yeah. Designated season makes it a little more clear. Nice. Finishing touch from Waters. What do you think they discussed at the break? Waters in break. I mean, clean this up. Let's not let Jade get back into this and going. And let's get Anna Lee to the left. Jackie is trying to get her going. Three, four, one. Full ascent three times from Waters to tie it at four. Had off the tape there to sort of set the table. Four, four, one. Point. It's back in. So pretty from Waters. Yeah, that whoopsie is from Jackie's paddle. Yeah. Five, four, one. Point. Another big rip. Another miss. And the Kalamotos will take a time out of their own there from Cape Coral. Six, four, one. Second serve. Six, four, two. Point. She's like, okay, okay. Settled down over there. I got it. Seven, four, two. Wow, Anna Lee calling in a bright off the leg forward that is on the other side of the net. Wow. Now Jackie trying to do a little too much here. Eight, four, two. Has had a couple errors creep into her game. Yes! Just impressive. Yeah, cause you, they're doing a great job of being patient for the most part with the pulls that they go after because the Kalamotos don't give you a lot. And sometimes you hit the nitro button on the controller by accident. Four, nine, one. Five, nine, one. Ooh, good dodge. Second serve. She almost ended up with the patrons getting out of the way there. Cause it's tricky when you're not sure which paddle is going to get it. Nine, five, one. Okay, she's going to stay and put backhands in the middle. Middle was there for the target. They did this briefly yesterday when they were struggling. It was actually Jackie, and then they were just dying to win after that. That has not been the case today so far. Nice return. Wanders and Bright, one game away from another crown. We'll be right back to see if they can clean sweep the twins after this. Okay. Going big are the brand new team. Love that. Well, it's the hotbed of where most of these pros are based out of. Ironically, not to him, but yeah. I know. Pretty for Bright. Not so pretty for the Kalamotos. What needs to happen on their side here to have a chance? I know they're not like the get energized team, but just a little positivity. Because in these conditions, Annalise is going to swing and barely touch the ball like that, so move the ball around, play your style, and try and lift each other up here a little bit. And Jackie, not try to do too much, because high-end Jade and Jackie together might be getting up the wind today just because of the wind. We just haven't seen it yet. Oh. That's exactly what they want. Got dad, Don's over there, older sister Lisa cheering on the Kalamotos. No mama Kalas at home watching. It's just usually not them popping up playing dinks or missing. Yeah, you found my left foot, big deal. Lots of teams try to do that. We put it in dangerous spots after that happens. Well, if you're both yelling at each other in a single-file format on the wrong half of the court, that was hilarious. Single-file format. 2-0-2. You wanted to play the left. Point. So, so good. Hide it, so you hide it. Kind of turn your shoulder just a little and hide it, and then Jade's not sure where that's going. Almost zero lobs into the wind from that side, too, from the Cosmi. Throw one of those in here, let's see that. I mean, they're so good at it. Just don't have any room to breathe now. Timeout receivers, 4-0-2. No, and the body language, which I said was gonna be important to fix, has actually gotten worse as the scoreboard has gotten worse, yes. 4-0-2. Point. Ball to cover for Jade. 5-0-2. Every shot now from Waters. Collapsing into missed shots that we don't typically see, and to the infinite credit on the other side, they have played very clean until that. Side out. And they had the advantage of two hours in these elements, which definitely helps, no question about it here. 0-6-1. Second serve. 0-6-2. Golly. Side out. Can out from Aurelius. That's coming out, too. All these new paddles are coming out here soon. Second serve. Barely touched it. One for two on an almost impossible side to lob on. 6-0-2. Now Jackie's level, unfortunately, has dipped a bit, and the scoreboard tells the table. 8-0-2. Wind out of the sails. Pickle territory here. Tough to see in a final. Your feet! Side out. Missed third from Anna Bright. The diagnosis is footwork. Dr. Bright, I agree with you. Oh, I love the support from the crowd. 0-8-1. Point. 1-8-1. Annaleigh don't care what the score is and where they are in the match. T-0 time. Yeah, big. 2-8-1. 1,000 here in Cape Coral. Yep, one round a day. Progressive draws at everything, so we'll start with R-64 on Tuesday. Second serve. And these are the patterns and the looks that we saw yesterday that they just destroyed. 2-8-2. Side out. 8-2-1. Midnight. Nice timeout taken. At a point. 9-2-1. Second serve. 9-2-2. Oh, god! What a way to earn match points. Bright sticking her nose in the fight as she always does. 10-2-2. There it goes. Annaleigh Waters and Anna Bright grab another title. Monstrous milestone accomplished too for Anna Bright. 30 golds, 30 silvers, and 30 bronze medals in her career. Just her and CP have that honor. Annaleigh has too many stinking golds to join that club. She doesn't have near enough silvers or bronzes and she's okay with that. But again, great run for the Kawamotos. We love seeing them. Not their best today, but a very well-earned silver medal. We'll be right back to put a bow on it and crown these two the champions of Cape Coral. Stay with us. Annaleigh Waters and Anna Bright. You know what they did? They won it again. They're in Coral, in Cape Coral, and it is looking good. And gold is theirs again. Take it away, Michelle. Yes, thank you, Dave. And there's finally one thing that Anna Bright has that Annaleigh Waters doesn't. 30 career golds, 30 career silvers, and 30 career bronze medals. Anna, I know this is a big milestone as you were joking ahead of the break too. Yeah, I don't know if Annaleigh's ever gonna join this club. I might have to lock in and mix doubles a little bit if she's ever gonna join me here. But yeah, I really thank you to everyone for watching and supporting all this week. It's been really, really amazing and happy to accomplish something in front of all of you guys. And Annaleigh, for you, what's the significance of a win like this? Tough conditions, but great crowd in your home state. Yeah, I mean, you said it. Basically, I told Anna, like the way we handled the conditions today, the wind, yep, getting your hair, it was pretty tough. And I felt like today it was just who could mentally lock in and sometimes the wind's gonna blow a ball and you might do something stupid, but it's who in the long run can handle it. And I felt like Anna and I did a great job today, especially against the Kalamotos. They're so tough. They get everything back. And in the wind, that can be pretty frustrating. And we were just trying to kind of keep our heads together. And like Anna said, thank you guys so much for coming out all week. It's been packed pretty much every day. So it means a lot, especially like you said, in Florida, it's been so amazing. So thank you. Well said, yes. Give it up for Annaleigh and Anna Bright winning in their current state of residence. You've been awesome, Cape Coral. And with that, we welcome Lisa Zook back to the stage, the general manager of the courts here in Cape Coral to deliver the trophy. I just wanted to thank, again, it's been an amazing week. And on behalf of the courts and sports facilities companies, wanted to thank the PPA, the city of Cape Coral, our wonderful staff and volunteers who have worked so hard this week. And of course, our great players. We're honored to have you all here. And last but not least, the wonderful fans. Thank you. It's been great. And excellent job today from Annaleigh and Anna. Congratulations. Lisa, thanks so much. Another crown for the queens of the court here in Cape Coral, Dave. Yes, indeed it was. And what a tournament. You guys are spectacular audience here and can't wait to come back here to Southwest Florida. Let's take a look at the YOLA recap and see who walked out of here with the gold medals. Ben Johns and Gabe Tardio got us started holding up that one by their name. And then on his birthday, Fetty, nine and 70, wasn't even gonna play singles. And then he takes the title. Waters and Johns stared down match point against in the fourth, but win it in five. KK, Kaitlin Christian lost game one, 15, 13, but then got her fourth gold. And then Annaleigh Waters and Anna Bright take out the twins. So we had a spectacular week here and there is only one day without live pro pickle this week. And that is tomorrow. Michelle and I will be finding flights on our way out to Mesa and look at all these happy faces. So for my great partner, Michelle McMahon, I'm Dave Fleming. Thanks so much for watching the Carvana PPA tour. We'll see you out in Mesa where it all started.
