It was an electric atmosphere on Stadium two, something that was not lost on the Bryans, who spoke about the thrill of playing before an A-list crowd.

“A bunch of A-list celebrities out there,” Mike Bryan said. “It was pretty cool. We were watching the big screen when we were sitting down on changeovers and see Mike Tyson, Larry Ellison, Hillary Swank. Our friend Kaley Cuoco was out there. She's considered an A-lister. It was a great atmosphere just right from when we walked out. It's kind of a special court.”

The Bryans will next face Roberto Bautista Agut and Viktor Troicki in second-round action.

Nadal will face Gilles Muller in his first match at the BNP Paribas Open this evening.
