Star Free Press, Bob Buttitta, July 24, 2001: "Success is a State of Mind; Camarillo Twins Have Developed the Mental Strength Needed to Contend at a High Level" " The mark of a great athlete is being able to prevail even when he or she doesn’t have their ‘A’ game." "Having been dominant tennis players on both the junior and collegiate levels, there is no doubt about the skills that Camarillo’s Bob and Mike Bryan possess." "But despite their natural abilities, during their first few years on the ATP Tour, the Bryan twins knew if they weren’t at their best, they weren’t going to win. They lacked the mental strength needed to grind out a victory when the breaks were going against them." "That’s not the case in this, their third season on tour, a season that has seen them breakthrough and start reaching heights pre predicted of them after leaving Stanford in 1998." "This season the 23-year-old Bryans have won three doubles titles . . . . . Their win at the Hall of Fame tournament came following the brothers dramatic run at Wimbledon, a run that saw them reach the doubles semifinal." "’It’s our best title of the three because we were expected to win,’ Bob Bryan said of their win at Newport. ‘We were the favorites. We were coming off Wimbledon, where we played well and beat the top doubles teams in the world.’" "’It was hard going from Centre court at Wimbledon to Court 1 at Newport . . . . . It was a big test for us because we were tired and coming off a big tournament.’" "’We won without our A game. We didn’t just let it slip away, we stayed mentally strong and focused and that allowed us to get through. It was a great test for us, and we passed it.’" "The Bryans next big test comes this week at the Mercedes Benz cup, being played today through Sunday at UCLA." "The brothers are ranked No. 1 heading into the competition . . . . ."
