Mike Bryan

And some tennis news.

More than 150 men's doubles players, including British world number one Henry Patton and legendary twins Bob Ryan and Mike Bryan, have called on the ATP Tour to reconsider proposed reforms they believe could threaten the future of doubles tennis.

In an open letter signed by current players, former stars and national federations, The group proposed plans to reduce draw sizes and cut prize money from 2028.

The players warned that the changes could damage careers and limit opportunities within the discipline, arguing that doubles remains an important and historic part of the sport.

And so it did get me thinking what other brothers or sisters combinations have really worked together.

So sometimes brothers and sisters play against each other, but here's some, points where they really work together in tennis there's the clear superstars and there's two of them we all know about serena and venus williams two of the greatest tennis players ever but as doubles partners they might have even been better they won 14 brain slam doubles titles together they won four olympic gold medals and of course they both had amazing individual careers On the men's side, Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan won 16 Grand Slam titles, as well as Olympic gold in 2012.

One of the most successful doubles tennis teams ever.

Neither of them was great individual players.

Um, but from a full-time, you know, standpoint, I, I felt like I-- it was just hard, you know, being on the court with him all the time and then being home and, you know, still talking tennis when we're at home.

When we're at home, I wanted, you know, to play mini sticks in the basement with my brother, or I wanted to, you know, play video games with my little brother and hang out and, you know, just have a little bit of normalcy.

And I think, I, you don't see that with a lot of kids nowadays.

Like, when they're specializing in that one sport, they don't have that normalcy.

I'm not sure if you've talked to them or not, but was that intentional or was it just a product of the era?

I think it was a product of the era.

I think my parents just wanted my brother and I to be happy and play sports that we were most happy playing, and they saw how happy I was when I was getting ready for, you know, a soccer game or basketball camp and sports camps and everything.

You know, just, that was just my childhood.

Yeah.

Um, well, I can tell you about certain people and, uh, well, one of them is Mike Bryan, the, the tennis player.

He and-
