They are too good man, these Bryans. Good that yesterdya Bopanna/Qureshi won in finals.
two tournaments running in same time :omg: Bopanna-Qureshi win title Top seeds Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi lived up to their billing and won their first ATP title of the season, overcoming Robin Haase and Milos Raonic 7-6 (8) 3-6 11-9 in the summit clash of the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany today. It took the Indo-Pak pair one hour and 19 minutes to beat the Dutch-Canadian combination. The win would do a world of good to the confidence of the Indo-Pak pair in the run up to the Wimbledon Championships. It is Bopanna's third career ATP World Tour doubles title, having triumphed in Johannesburg with Qureshi last year and with American Eric Butorac in 2008 in Los Angeles

It's a wimbledon Series. Wimbledon is about to start. So all over England, there are different Grass court tournaments are going on for the build up of Wimbledon. It happens all the time. When it's US OPEN. There are different hard court tournaments going on all over USA before the start of US OPEN. It's called US OPEN SERIES.

There are only two big tournaments (still a 250) before Wimbledon-Queens and Halle. Halle is NOT in England. The ladies play at Eastbourne but I think they've changed that to both women and men recently. Nadal plays at Queens and Fed at Halle normally though Fed pulled out this year and hasn't played after the French Open. Do people seriously watch doubles/mixed doubles these days? Meh, courts at Wimbledon empty out after the Men's final since no one wants to watch it. It is filled with singles failures. What do you do if you're a crap tennis player? You play doubles. I can't wait for the day when we have a singles GS champion. That is the real deal.

Uk never does good in tennis, illiterate tennis fans they have. Come to US or Australia, you will see Doubles fans all over. Lot of people play here and watch it too. You should have seen Bryan Brothers vs Bopanna/Qureshi final last year in US Open. Best attended doubles match. Full crowd at Arthur Ashe. People have great passion for Doubles. I love watching it.

Doesn't change the fact that singles is the real deal and doubles is for failures. To be an ATG tennis player, you need to have won singles GS tournaments. FACT.

All depends. How you look at it. The great Australian pair "Woodies" were and stll are considered legends. If you talk about tennis to an Aussie, they would star talking about Rafter or Hewitt all the time,they will definately mention you Woodies. Bryans have been extrememely popular in U.S. and than we have Indian legends. There is Daniel Lestor, a legendary Canadian. I know what you mean. Singles is important, but to achieve something in Doubles, it's very important too.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THEY WIN THE TOURNAMENT.. Brilliant BRILLIANT BRILLIANT YES.. WELL DONE TO THE GOOD OLD PAIR OF LEANDER AND MAHESH. They started of the year well by reaching finals of Aussie Open. After that around about March time, they started to lose plenty of games easily. They just didn't show much fight in most of the games, but now rite before the big US OPEN, they have put a pretty good performance after coming back strongly against Bryans and now against a team which has a 11 match winning streak. WELL DONE TO THE PAIR OF BHUPATHI/PAES
