Houdet/Sanada vs. Miki/Oda Extended Highlights | 2023 US Open Final

we're going to see some eye-popping tennis here today on Armstrong thank you not a little let Court winner we've set quite the bar by the way first point of the match an epic struggle is understanding that Hey listen I might be the young kid here but I'm the guy and I'm gonna get in this mix all right [Applause] that's so good look at Oda moving quickly forward I can let everybody get comfortable right here comes in sticks that Folly gets it right onto the wheels of Sonata well executed I don't know what was up uh conditions uh just took him by storm I think that there hasn't been a a big track record of matches against Stefan hude who is a Wily veteran just to be cliche but he is what he is and he's got immense amount of talent that he can access to disrupt a young kid [Applause] I don't know I just missed and Mickey and Oda okay no no [Applause] it's just magnificent from who Day Magic from the Frenchman ill advised to test today too much up there got away with that one that Ball's got to go back Cross Court and get away from that guys ability to do that right there what's up [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] serving with the 2-1 lead oh yeah [Applause] and they continue to roll to the team of hude and Sonata to go at that guy when he comes forward in the court I mean he's proven it with touch now angle he's got power you might want to avoid him who's that young American that had a good run here Ben Shelton oh that guy yeah yeah oh that's a great serve but it's good for him to press forward like that and at least make them have to counter-attack him [Music] oh almost an amazing get from Sonata fast twitch Dynamic yeah Dynamic is a great way that's Oda for sure yeah and he's got that same kind of quiet I mean Goodness Me did he just tee you up for that one or what sir look at the looseness look at the loose set and then there it is there's the dynamic whip that you're talking about good wow gorgeous that time it was Mickey moving forward in sonata's experience and positioning in the hierarchy of things in the Japanese program it's like interesting oh wow that is incredible from Stefan hude day there's a different sound [Applause] [Applause] absolutely God you'd love to see that from a player just total commitment like I give up for nothing the ball three games all amazing and it is three all we are in quite the tussle right now here on Armstrong in this championship match look out knowing that he's okay [Applause] oh it's a miscommunication there Oda started to make the move with the ill-advised attack on hude you know again I don't know at what point do you say that's not the choice you know stay away from who they go back [Applause] and again some miscommunication you can kind of see one of the things that helps OTA be so good at Singles what's that behind him oh what beautiful hands will they get there oh oh he can't quite get there who day magnificent touch at the net that was a great Point yeah I think Stefan got it just he wanted to go behind him here but just too much Mickey making a great play to just go forward have that forward momentum which was the difference in that ball coming over foreign [Music] [Applause] play can come in to split them if they're together and United tough to go through those two once you get them separated takita odo's skill can really shine maybe what oda's starting to learn is that he needs Mikey just that hude is also the more dangerous server give them the best chance to serve out the set that's a good first serve there love his enthusiasm [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] what a great gun from Sonata oh point of the match and the exaltation from Oda classic men's doubles scrambling all over the court players just running balls down big time getting it back to deuce [Applause] oh [Applause] my God [Music] [Applause] this is now the second Deuce point of this game [Music] [Applause] what's up [Applause] [Applause] come on [Applause] ladies and gentlemen wheelchair doubles at the highest level just phenomenal Cross Court backhand passer right here coming on the end of an extraordinary rally wow and what a finish [Applause] [Applause] and a penetrating backhand from Mickey on Lewis Armstrong stadium and that's the world number one 17 year old Poquito Oda serving [Applause] foreign oh my goodness it was so skilled at just covering court but he can only just sit there and watch whoa that is good that was a tight tight call oh [Music] [Applause] it's gonna be too good takuyamiki's starting to really look like one of the top players on the court right now strong to set things up and then of course right here really just a rock at the net with a great finish out wide yeah it's almost that that's the point that relieves the pressure wasn't the long one that missed it let everything go [Applause] and a double haven't been able to consolidate but if they can now it's the set a beautiful touch Again by Mickey [Applause] a lot of variety in his game sets it up himself finishes himself oh yeah [Applause] yeah and again playing towards who day team of Mickey and Oda I mean once is enough but twice three times four how many times are you going to continue to go back at that guy say easily over 50 something balls in that Exchange [Applause] they're looking for their first chance to consolidate a break as well [Applause] come on and back to Deuce we go Russ Taylor and Paul Walker on the call in Lewis Armstrong Stadium serving to Oda 17th in the men's doubles championship match [Applause] and it's Takashi Sonata getting the nod from his partner as they earn another set point today was the first man to complete the calendar Slam in doubles back in 2014. there it is [Applause] [Music] didn't go their way down the stretch and that's the difference small margin oh yep [Applause] great job by Takashi Sonata there took the pressure off sets it up and then hude cleans it up that team has really got some good communication going on inopportune time yeah correct it's hard to do when two guys are in the right positions on the court which have been time and time again oh that caught the line from Mickey and they seem to have gotten away with one Mickey and Oda I was a little shocked at that had that ball just been that much more wide and they lost that ultimately it goes to Mickey and Oda and here they are with a chance to break settle things down again early game and there is the break for one all back to back breaks the second set oh what a beautiful drop shot from chiffon today times the day he's got it it's not a one-trick pony right there he owns that high to low heavy action angle that ball checkup it's like a pitching wedge going into number 17. [Music] [Applause] it's a beauty from set out up moving forward again just getting those so much deserved words of encouragement and praise for his partner you can really see how he feeds off that lets it out and then looks gets the nod from the partner chance for a third straight break to open up set number two [Music] and Stefan who day is heat seeking out there is a two on lead in the second set the day went to the blue Sonata went to the white ones right they flipped it get up that's well done good to see some people in Armstrong enjoying this outstanding men's doubles final really nice looking little crowd up Stadium's big so it looks like there's not but there's a lot of people in the stands [Music] that is power and touch it's a superior job sitting right there in the driver's seat Center Court commanding that position [Applause] second double by Sonata and uh there hadn't been many throughout the match but he just threw in two in this game alone and that's gonna cost them a little bit her phone had to pull out yesterday with illness in the women's semi-finals and couldn't make the final today yeah glad to see that she was out there to be able to acknowledge the title for kamiji and monjani but I'm fortunate that she couldn't compete [Applause] Stefan today [Applause] saw Mickey set things up for himself earlier on a particular Point who they doing all the action all the work in that one we'll let the young man beat his head against The Rock takes us back to a little bit of what happened in the first set when Oda would lose patience quickly and that's no knock on him that's just going to be a learning curve over a little bit of time so talented he just wants desperately to get in the fight [Music] thank you yay two days tonight you hear who they sang every point every game desperately would love to extend this lead put a little bit of space between themselves and Mickey and Oda and also maybe more doubt in the team across the net they have the chance here you hear the balls opening they'll get to do it with new balls I mean he's the guy that knows there can be no lapses it has to be through the only going for her third straight calendar slam that's all she's doing hey it doesn't even sound right to say that doesn't make any sense at all whatever it's out of the reach of who day that ball got on him a little quicker than he anticipated I think he expected quite that much from Mickey was able to hit enough of a ball that Uday couldn't respond and now two points for a break [Applause] we got it but just too much Ramona or Oda with the driver a great hustle from your day and it ends up being the number one delivering the final blow there to finish it off [Applause] foreign [Applause] oh yes sir you could just hear the cut on that one as he just carved that thing feather touch they just not getting the depth on that lob you know and he knew it too he was frustrated with himself have to stay in this fight and force the breaker wait [Music] [Applause] I don't know Brand New Day finds the same and look at him dance around this court on Armstrong and he wants to dance his way into the record books here on Armstrong yeah he knows exactly what he's doing there gets to the wheels of Oda knows that the only option Oda has is to pop that up short on a new day and Sonata made their move with a break and hold [Applause] let's get the sense that Mickey and Oda right now don't have a clearly defined game plan as to how to get through the end of this set possibly Force the tiger and there's still work to be done [Music] [Applause] and there it is [Applause] break serve all right [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] oh man [Applause] o with a Tom spin live winner to become a major Champion for the first time ever Sonata and Savannah are you 2023 U.S open Champions you can see that it means the world and the fact that he produced it so much deserved right there Takashi Sonata your first ever Grand Slam title you earned it your partner got you the opportunity and you delivered what a job Indeed Moss [Applause] Louis Armstrong Stadium those are a happy couple of guys right there Happy Gilmore doing the bowl dance feeling the flow oh it's just living man just another title for Mr huday but I don't think so his 20th yeah you know maybe at some point he starts to think I don't know am I ever gonna get another one or but here he is with another partner bringing them across the Finish Line one more time just an epic performance here
