Leander Paes is one partner away from playing with 100 different teammates during his illustrious career. No. 99 is making a strong case to prevent Paes from ever getting there. The newly-formed duo of Paes and Raven Klaasen began their partnership at the start of this season and promptly finished runner-up in Chennai.
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.
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.
The ITF has announced the latest results for the 2014 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Final between France and Switzerland in Lille on 21-23 November. On Saturday, the International Tennis Hall of Fame and ITF also honoured Guy Forget and Henri Leconte with the 2014 Davis Cup Award of Excellence.

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.

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.
This week in London got off to an inauspicious start for Bob and Mike Bryan. They lost their opening round-robin doubles match in Group A competition at the World Tour Finals 7-6(3), 6-3 to Lukasz Kubot and Robert Lindstedt. Recovering from an 0-1 record--especially after losing in straight sets--is a challenging endeavor. Just ask this year's other participants.
David Ferrer played London after all. Briefly. As you may have read in World News, on Thursday morning, Milos Raonic pulled out of London with a quadriceps injury. Of course, the fact that he was 0-2 no doubt played a role as well! So Ferrer got his spot for his match against Kei Nishikori.
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.
