LA Daily News, Jill Painter, August 26, 2001: "Double Doubles, U.S. Open Next Step in Blossoming Career of Camarillo’s Bryan Twins"

(Stanford Coach Dick Gould on the Bryans, said): ". . . . .’Their enthusiasm for the game, it’s purely a love for the game. I’d have to get them off the court, pull them off the court. I was afraid that they’d get stale or get hurt.’"

"’They just love tennis. It was a total exuberance. It’s really refreshing and that projects into their play. They have each other to build each other up. They work really well together.’"

"That’s because they know each other’s tendencies and reactions. Likes and dislikes. Strengths and weaknesses. They anticipate actions. It’s a powerful combination."

"They’ve been so good this year, they had to reset goals during the season. They’d already achieved everything they wanted to do by midsummer . . . ."

"They’re polite, popular and entertaining. They’re refreshing to watch. Flashy smiles, chest bumps and hop-skips are commonplace on the Bryans’ side of the court. If you didn’t know them you might consider it showboating. It’s who they are and tennis fans adore them."

"’They’ve been just tremendous with their fans,’ said Miki Singh, the ATP’s communication manager. ‘I think a lot of it has to do with how they interact with the fans. They do a lot of clinics with the kids. They’re very close and accessible to the fans. I think they get great support because of that.

"They’re very nice, gentlemanly and well-mannered. They’re terrific young kids.’"

Strike Up the Band - - -
"Together, they also make music in their bnad, appropriately named The Bryan Bros. Band. Sometimes (Andy) Roddick will rap with them at tournaments. At the Legg Mason Classic in Washington, D.C., the band played in front of 1,000 people (for the Washington Tennis and Education Foundation Charity)."

"Mike plays drums and Bob plays the keyboard . . . . . And wayne plays the guitar. Sometimes other players on the tour join in . . . . ."
