The Memphis Commercial Appeal, Don Wade, Feb. 18, 2000: "Bryan Twins Double Close On, Off Courts; Baby Faces Hide Dangerous Pair" "So, you meet twins Mike and Bob Bryan Thursday at The Racquet Club." "They’re nice." "They’re identical." "And it’s all you can do not to hit ‘em up for a pack of Doublemint gum." "These guys don’t look the least bit dangerous." "These guys look like what they are - - - young, clean-cut, and raised without the corruptive influences of television and video games because dad and mom wouldn’t allow those evils in the house." "’We look a little younger than we are,’ said Mike, 21, who is about two minutes older than Bob, a fact he still explains to his brother by saying, ‘I boxed you out.’" " . . . . . Ah, but it’s just the start of the story, and the main theme has it that the Bryan Boys are America’s next great doubles team, potential Davis Cup material." "They’re to be considered armed and dangerous when there’s a racket in Bob’s left hand, a racket in Mike’s right." " . . . . Just last week in (San Jose) California, they knocked off the second-place Woodies - - - ark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge. And last year’s big wins included a victory over Patrick Rafter and Jonas Bjorkman, and the upset of Ellis Ferreira and Rick Leach at Wimbledon."
