Daily News, Jill Painter, August 26, 2001: "Double Doubles,
U.S. Open Next Step in Blossoming Career of Camarillos Bryan
Twins"
(Stanford Coach Dick Gould on the Bryans, said): ". . . . .Their
enthusiasm for the game, its purely a love for the game. Id
have to get them off the court, pull them off the court. I was afraid
that theyd get stale or get hurt."
"They just love tennis. It was a total exuberance. Its
really refreshing and that projects into their play. They have each
other to build each other up. They work really well together."
"Thats because they know each others tendencies and
reactions. Likes and dislikes. Strengths and weaknesses. They anticipate
actions. Its a powerful combination."
"Theyve been so good this year, they had to reset goals
during the season. Theyd already achieved everything they wanted
to do by midsummer . . . ."
Fan Favorites - - -
"Theyre polite, popular and entertaining. Theyre
refreshing to watch. Flashy smiles, chest bumps and hop-skips are
commonplace on the Bryans side of the court. If you didnt
know them you might consider it showboating. Its who they are
and tennis fans adore them."
"Theyve been just tremendous with their fans,
said Miki Singh, the ATPs 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. Theyre very close and accessible
to the fans. I think they get great support because of that.
"Theyre very nice, gentlemanly and well-mannered. Theyre
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 . .
. . ."
