Tennis
USTA, October, 1994, Mark Winters, "Fashioning a Winning
Doubles Team"
"It was all in the family as twins Bob and Mike Bryan and brothers
Luke and Murphy Jensen took to the court for some abbreviated tie-break
action at the Los Angeles Open in August."
The Bryan boys nipped the Jensen pros four points to three but, as
you may have guessed, the playful Jensens didnt exactly have
their game faces on."
" . . . . . both Bryans were impressed with the rapport the fashion-conscious
Jensens created with the crowd - - - Luke wearing a Til Death
Do Us Part denim jacket and Murphy donning a Irish soccer jersey."
While the Jensens were impressed with how the Bryans hit the ball,
Luke offered some advice: They need to match better, he
said. Theyve got the Wilson racquet thing down, but their
shirts were another story. Brothers playing together is all about
coordination. The better you coordinate, the better you play."
"Is sibling tennis a good thing?"
"No question, Luke said. I think it really
helps when you have a good family foundation."
" . . . . . Did Luke consider the possible consequences his free
advice might have if the Bryans turn pro someday and theres
a Jensen vs. Bryan rematch? Well be waiting to see."
