BRYAN BROTHERS WIN MONTE CARLO, ONLY AMERICANS IN THE DRAW, THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT

The Bryan’s win another Masters tourney. For Mike it was his 100th. title. For Bob his 98th! They beat Melo and Dodig 6-3,3-6,10-8! Wow. Unreal feat. This record breaking duo are Amazeballs. For real what a nice Easter present from the Tennis Channel. They actually televised the doubles. Please always televise doubles. Don’t make us wait for Easter. Or a masters event. Or a record breaker. Give the worldwide television audience doubles all the time. We are seeing the greatest doubles team in the history of the sport. Every game , match and every win is a battle and struggle. We have sat in the players box with the family and friends since the boys were starting on tour. We have known them since 1984 when they used the newly built tennis center and stadium @ucla as their jungle gym.We sat with the team @ Indian wells this year for both the semis and the finals. There wasn’t a dry eye in the box. Tears started to well up for everyone near the end of the match. (Coach and agent included.)

 

Tennis is a great sport. Singles and doubles are totally different. To see a dynamic duo like Bob and Mike is such a treat as they move in tandem ! Thanks David Egdes for always fighting for doubles.

 

Ok. So who is this “Booty” guy ? That would be grinder Eric Butorac from Minnesota a div 4 college player whose on the ATP board. Is his travel to the slams and the masters paid for by ATP ? The hotel and airfare ? Is their and expense account ? We are just asking ? Tennis is a great game but it’s a clannish game. And a sport that doesn’t really have a commissioner or a real governing body to look out for the players interest ? Where are bonus points ? Even better where are double bonus points? It’s a Great way to have upward mobility and extra excitement. Please bring them back. And we need more wild cards for both singles and doubles. Double the number. Give the tourney directors more flexibility ability to sell seats. Interesting concept. ?

 

They won today’s match on a double fault @10-8 in the third set breaker. Then the boys wrote the number 100 in the clay. Bravo Bryan Brothers. You are great ambassadors for the sport. Prince Albert was beaming seeing his friends win. Thank you ROLEX. Thank you ATP for the televised rights. Thank you always to Tennis Channel.

 

Editors Note : the nickname “Booty” came about when Eric was playing with Jamie Murray who everyone called “Stretch”. And FYI. We like Butorac and admire his journeyman fortitude. We are just asking ?
