Inside Tennis, January 2002, Matthew Cronin, "Pro Players of the Year; From Bryan Boyz 2 Men"

"It seems like just a few years ago that Camarillo twins Bob and Mike Bryan were sitting in the stands enthusiastically waving flags at a La Costa Davis cup tie and having their pictures snapped because of their unique likeness, garb and boundless energy."

"After winning four titles in 2001, reaching the Wimbledon semis and finishing the year ranked No.7, the Bryans officially left their cute boyhood games at home. They firmly established themselves as the U.S.’s second most formidable team and sent a message that they will be competing for Slam titles and a spot on the Davis Cup team for years to come."

"’We’re really happy with our year’ said Bob, the lefty and ad court half of the 23-year-old Bash Brothers. ‘We’ve become a lot more consistent and sure of ourselves.’"

"It was a year of transition for the brothers, who stopped traveling full-time with their personable father, Wayne, and hired a new coach, Craig Edwards."

" . . . . . The twins powdered up their games in ’01, as the pair started to hit with a lot more stick on the ball. Bob’s return improved and Mike’s serve grew more consistent."
