The upcoming Davis Cup tie between Britain and the United States in Glasgow could see a unique doubles confrontation with the Murray brothers taking on the Bryan twins on day two of competition. As always the Bryans will be an automatic part of American captain Jim Courier’s selection for the rubber between the two founding nations of this historic competition.
No. 1 seeds Bob and Mike Bryan “lost” in the first round of the Heineken Open on Tuesday. As replay confirms, they should have won. In face, they even chest-bumped to celebrate victory before chair umpire Kader Nouni had other ideas.
San Diego businessman Fred Luddy, along with Jack McGrory, have secured ownership of the Mylan WTT San Diego Aviators franchise to expand the foundation that was set in 2014. The San Diego Aviators had a tremendous inaugural season last year by reaching the Western Conference finals of the Mylan WTT season.
The ITF announced today that Serena Williams of the United States and Novak Djokovic of Serbia are the 2014 ITF World Champions. Williams is named Women’s World Champion for the fifth time, while this is the fourth occasion that Djokovic has received the honour.
One of the many reasons why Bob and Mike Bryan have been so dominant as a doubles duo is, of course, that they never split up. As their partnership remains a constant, other doubles players are consistently changing up their partners year in and year out. Next season will be no exception.
Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan have won their fourth season finale title in their sixth championship match at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

Doubles at the World Tour Finals stole the show all the week, aside from a Saturday night singles semifinal thriller between Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic claims his third straight Barclays ATP World Tour Finals title and fourth season finale crown overall (also 2008 in Shanghai). Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan claim their fourth season finale title in their sixth championship match at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.
Singles matches were not always the most dramatic at this week's World Tour Finals, but players delivered the goods in the press room (including Novak Djokovic's traditional handing out of chocolates) on a consistent basis. With the tournament over, let's enjoy some of the most memorable quotes from the press conferences.
Bob and Mike Bryan are looking to become the first team since...wait for it...themselves to lose an opening match at the World Tour Finals and then go on to capture the title. They did it 2009, when they dropped their first round-robin tilt to Max Mirnyi and Andy Ram before winning their next four matches--including over Mirnyi and Ram in the final.
Bob and Mike Bryan were three games away from falling to 0-2 in matches and 0-4 in sets at the World Tour Finals, a predicament that would almost certainly have been impossible to overcome. Instead, the Bryan Brothers stormed back from a set and 3-1 deficit to beat Jean-Julien Roger and Horia Tecau 6-7(4), 6-3, 10-6 on Wednesday afternoon.
Earlier in the week an Italian journalist went on a routine of asking all the players which one of the other players they'd most like to have dinner with and what question they'd ask that player. Four -- Nishikori, Cilic, Raonic, and Wawrinka -- chose Roger Federer, for differing reasons.
There are just 150 days until the first serve of the 2015 Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship, and the stars of the ATP World Tour are already committing to play the tournament. Five-time doubles champions Bob and Mike Bryan will return to defend their title while 2012 semifinalist Feliciano Lopez will return after compiling his career-best season in 2014.
Apart from a strange, brief and eventually irrelevant period midway through the first set when his opponent won eight consecutive points, Novak Djokovic was rarely troubled as he retained his BNP Paribas Masters title here at Bercy with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Milos Raonic.
The vote is in. It was too close to call. How difficult to be a celebrity with such a huge issue being disputed. Please understand the Murray Clan if you were in their position. Truly fits the expression of being between a rock and a hard place ...
