This is one match where the extended highlights are a must to watch. So many magical points, so many fierce battles between exceptional competitors all the way to that insane match point.

Insane match by the best doubles players around. Hsieh & Mertens worked their magic!! ✨

That half volley dig for an inside-out winner by Hsieh was absolutely sick. You could see the thought in Mertens' eyes ... 'Man, I thought I got you killed! '😂

we don't call her the magician for nothing.

Hsieh played effortlessly. She is so calm. Most of the time she played with both hands.

Wow. 4-0, 30-0 down and then they turned it on. This one was so fun to watch!

Hunter and Siniakova were an aggressive team with powerful serves, accurate overheads, and deadly volleys. But it was 38 years old Hsieh’s lobs, passing shots at the baseline, and quick hands at the net together with Mertens’ relentless and consistent rally at the baseline that showed who was the better team in the end after a grueling, edge-of-the-seat, and two hours and forty minutes battle.

Hsieh- what a friggin' legend.

so far the best double show! What a match point! Period. omg

This was just an incredible tennis match. Congrats to all the ladies. Hsieh was at her legendary best in the 3rd set. The force was strong with her and it was mind blowing to see some of the key shots she made and how she was able to read the play 2-3 shots before. Its effin super natural. She even played a big part in Mertens amazing match point. They are a great team and hope to see them pair up regularly in 24.

This was the true final. Amazing match!

I both cackled and cheered for Mertens hitting that awesome wicked angle pass for a winner. Great to hear that scream from her!

Outrageous... Simply stunning match by both couples... Breathtaking... Hsieh/Mertens at their best!

Brilliant match! Hsieh and Mertens are both tennis geniuses.

Shieh lacks power & speed but her ability to be consistent in getting the ball (if she gets to it) back to your half of the court is next level, by her patented, 2-handed "flipping" skills from her hip, using 2 hands, on both sides. You will have to over-power Hsieh, with speed and/or with sharp angle shots, if you want to win a point against her.

This match was the final….what a match rollercoster high level from all of them.. just amazing points all over the place

Amazing performance by both the teams. It is so cruel that one of them had to lose.

Hsieh and Mertens are best partners in women doubles! 👍🏻👍🏻

Tbh this is definitely not the best performance by Hsieh Mertens pair (if you watched the full match). Hsieh made so many UE at the net, unlike other times. But the pair adjusted themselves and slowed down the pace in the first set, literally just returned the shots with the opponents pace, and the opponents finally made even more UE and lost the first set. The pair only really picked it up in the third set. Good luck for the final. Please bring the slam home (Hsieh is incredible, she won 2 slams in a row, and a semi final, and now another final, with all different partners. If you want a good result in double, find Hsieh)

1ST! What a match! Love you Hsieh!

@@MadmanGoneMad2012 I don't think you really understand how the doubles game is played. Hsieh was often a key factor without even touching the ball, just by positioning herself and taking options away that allowed Mertens to receive weaker shots. She got the break point in set 3 and made a great defensive volley of a wicked attempted passing shot that set up Mertens brilliant match point. Both ladies played great and got their jobs done when it mattered,

Mertens was better here to be honest. When Hsieh was at the baseline, they all tried to hammer her instead of Mertens - of course Hsieh was much more breakable at the baseline than at net. Mertens hit less flashy shots as one would do at the baseline but she basically was the foundation of such. She also had a rather solid net play when needed

​@@pirate123166 Sorry, this will be a long reply. Hsieh was with Mertens in 2021 to early 2022. Hsieh wanted to take a break from tennis in 2022, she and Mertens ended their partnership on good terms. In 2023 (French Open), Hsieh wanted to return to tennis, she asked Wang because no one she partnered with before was free or interested, and she is on good terms with most Chinese tennis players. Strycova wanted to end her career 'on her own terms', not because she got pregnant. So, her way of doing that was by making a 'small comeback.’ Strycova didn’t have any intentions of returning full-time, she just wanted to dictate her own career ending. Strycova wanted Wimbledon to be her last tournament, so she asked Hsieh like during the French Open to be her partner for Wimbledon, because they are good friends. Wang didn’t mind because she’s more singles focused, not doubles focused. Wang and Hsieh played 2023 US Open together, and they do pretty well. Around mid-November 2023, Siniakova and Krejcikova split, it was reported (by an ex-czech player) there had been tension between the two for a while and it was Siniakova who initiated the split. Other pairs were also splitting, such as Fernandez/Townsend, Siegemund/Zvonareva, Hunter/Mertens. To be clear, I have no idea clear evidence why Hunter and Mertens split. I’m guessing because Siniakova was planning on splitting, she was also scouting for a new partner for when she finally asked for the split. Maybe she wanted Hunter because she was the doubles number 1, and maybe Hunter also thought Siniakova would be a fantastic partner because of her past successes with Krejicikova (in 2022, Krejicova and Siniakova won Aus, Wimbledon and US Open). I feel like Mertens wouldn’t end the partnership and if she did it would have been on good terms, because she has good relations with ex-partners like Sabalenka, Schurrs and Hsieh. Additionally, Mertens has good locker-room rapport. Mertens and Kudtermetova weren’t on good terms when they split, but it was reported that Kudermetova was the one who ended it with Mertens. So, I’m guessing it’s the same situation. Hunter ended it with Mertens which is why they’re not on good terms.

@@pirate123166 Hsieh was with Strycova during Wimbledon because that was Stycova's final tournament and she asked Hsieh because they're good friends. Both Hunter and Mertens said they parted with no issues, but clearly there's something. I'm not 100% sure, but I think Hunter ended their partnership because Siniakova was on the market. This is just a guess though. Because if Mertens was gonna leave Hunter why not do it before or at the US Open?
