An ordered matching is an ordered graph which consists of vertex-disjoint edges (and have no isolated vertices). In this paper we focus on unavoidable patterns in such matchings. First, we investigate the size of canonical substructures in ordered matchings and generalize the Erdős-Szekeres theorem about monotone sequences. We also estimate the size of canonical substructures in a random ordered matching. Then we study twins, that is, pairs of order-isomorphic, disjoint sub-matchings. Among other results, we show that every ordered matching of size n contains twins of length Ω(n3 / 5), but the length of the longest twins in almost every ordered matching is O(n2 / 3).
