Bryans Bounce Back With 54-Minute Win
(Original Story: http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2012/05/20/Rome-Wednesday-Doubles-Bryans-Bounce-Back.aspx)
Second seeds and two-time former champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan bounced back from last week’s opening-round loss at the Mutua Madrid Open with a 6-3, 6-2 victory Wednesday over Santiago Gonzalez and Christopher Kas at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome.
The American twins dropped just 10 points on their serves and converted four of 10 break point opportunities for victory in just 54 minutes on Court 1. They are now 24-9 lifetime at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament.
Bob Bryan admitted to ATPWorldTour.com, “We were pretty eager to get out there as it was a tough loss last week [to Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer].
“We worked hard the past five days and played extremely well. We capitalised on our break points and served well. It was a good match.”
In the quarter-finals, they will next meet either fifth seeds Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek or Lukasz Kubot and Janko Tipsarevic. Paes and Stepanek beat the Bryans in the Australian Open final in January.
