Tennis Magazine, Sylvia R. Moss, Fall 1993: "Dynamic
Duo"
"New ambidextrous court strategies? Think again. The 15-year-old
Bryan twins from Camarillo, California, are more that mere look-alikes.
They are mirror-image twins because they are identical, only opposite.
That is, bob is a natural right-hander while Mike is a lefty. Ranked
No. 1 in the nation as doubles partners for two straight years, these
two could be the best duo since Tom and Tim Gullikson."
"Although they are great friends and love practicing together,
they can definitely handle the court independently. Last year, Bob
was No. 3 and Mike was No. 4 in the U.S. Boys 14."
"Both have classic one-handed strokes and are developing attacking
all-court games. Their mother and father, Kathy and Wayne, are tennis
professionals and do offer the twins some guidance. However, all agree
that bringing in outside coaching provides a variety of technique."
"Bob and Mike have worked closely with Nick Saviano and Stan
Smith as part of the USTAs player assistance program. Recently,
they have begun to work with Steve Stefanki . . . . . Both boys have
excellent balance and timing, and all of their coaches are working
to build upon these strengths."
"Along with excelling in tennis, Bob and Mike are honor students
and, if that isnt enough, they are both accomplished musicians.
Mike, who plays drums, and bob, who plays the piano, occasionally
sit in with their fathers band. Whether its tennis, school,
or music, this duo always seems to be right in tune." |
