Will American tennis legends Bob and Mike Bryan get send-off they deserve?
“We haven’t gotten that far,” Mike Bryan said. “We are just watching and waiting. If the whole summer was played, that might be enough to kind of wet our whistle and say our goodbyes to the American fans and if we played the U.S. Open, I think we’d prefer to go out that way. But if we don’t get any last matches or tournaments this year ... I think the discussion will be on the table. We just have to see how it shakes out.
It’s understandable. Mike, after all, has a baby coming in the next few days. Bob, who lives in Florida, drove to Camarillo with his family after Indian Wells was canceled and ended up staying because his wife, Michelle, began experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and went into self-isolation. By the time she got better — only to get notified more than a week later that her test was never processed — cross-country travel became a concern, so they ended up renting an AirBnB house.
Nevertheless, the Bryan Brothers are icons of American tennis and deserve a send-off fitting of their accomplishments: NCAA champions at Stanford, Davis Cup champions, jointly ranked No. 1 for 438 weeks, winners of another 11 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles between them.
