Bryan Bros Win 4th Rogers Cup, Qualify for London
By Tennis Now Staff
(August 12, 2012) --
The Bryan Brothers
worked double duty on Sunday to win their fourth
Rogers Cup
title in Toronto. With the title -- Bob and Mike’s 80th, which is good for most all-time among doubles tandems -- the Bryan Brothers also qualified for the
ATP World Tour Finals
in London.
The Bryans defeated fifth-seeded
Jurgen Melzer
and
Leander Paes
in the semifinals today, 6-3, 6-4. The twins saved the only break points they faced in the match, and won 40 of 46 points on serve.
In the final, the Bryans were tested after blowing a set and a break lead against the eighth-seeded Spanish pairing of
Marcel Granollers
and
Marc Lopez
. The Olympic gold medalists also let a 7-4 lead in the match tiebreak slip away but saved a match point and eventually prevailed 6-1, 4-6, 12-10.
The title is the 21st Masters crown for the Bryans, and their fifth title of 2012.
The Bryans are the second team to qualify for the World Tour Finals this season.
Max Mirnyi
and
Daniel Nestor
qualified earlier in the week when they reached the Rogers Cup quarterfinals.
