Mike Bryan Quotations

We didn't want to lose all the Slams. It's more kind of a relief. But to do it here at the U.S. Open, it's worth giving up five in a row.

We didn't want to go down as one of the only teams to lose all four slams.

If we hold ... and it goes to a tiebreaker, anything could happen.

The only thing left that we could fight was the new scoring system. We're going to give it a shot for a year. If it's not working, we're going to go back to the old system.

James has been playing unbelievable in practice. The movement is key to him and he's feeling more confident, but he hasn't played much on grass and it's to be determined. Andy has a lot more confidence because he's won a lot of matches on grass.

It hurts. It doesn't feel good to let your team down when you are staring down the barrel of giving yourself a two-set lead.

I thought we were fairly sharp. We haven't been practicing too much this week because we've been resting...This bodes well for Indian Wells.

Our backs are against the wall right now. If we don't unite, there might not be a game of doubles.

It feels good to get this notch, the last two years we came up short. There's nothing more special than to win with your brother.

We could have been off that court in 11/2 hours, ... Well, next time.

We were heading to a cruising altitude of 40,000 feet, so we were lucky the pilot caught the problem early on.

We got off to a slow start, broken right away.

We were a little bitter. They took a medal from us. They're a tough team. I consider this one of our toughest Davis Cup matches.

We like playing those guys. When the singles field is so tough they're usually playing so many matches, then they have to come out and play doubles, it's tough for them. Sometimes they end up just pulling out of the doubles.

We're truly part of the tour now, not just second-class citizens.

The players have a lot of confidence in him. We just agreed, 'Let's try something new.' We'll repackage doubles.

We knew if we got to the finals enough times, we'd eventually crack it loose. I thought we played one of our best matches of the year, maybe of our career. We went out there and just went for it and just let everything go. Didn't worry about winning or losing, stayed in the moment and it happened, which feels pretty good.

Andy's got an unbelievable record on grass so he wants it on grass. I think he knows he can blow those guys off the court (on grass).

Everything is going our way at the moment. I think we're playing the best tennis of our careers and we're going to try to keep riding the wave. We made the final here in 2003 and it would be great to win the title this time around.

There's no more (doubles) qualifying -- once we retire, the doubles (only) players will be pretty much gone. They can't break through in the smaller tournaments like we did.

The Tour just doesn't seem to give (doubles) enough respect because tournament directors are trying to save money. But we're just going to keep fighting.

It keeps 90 percent of it out. This is fun.

That (second) set point was on our minds. It was kind of a match point for us because we're pretty good frontrunners,

My mom fed us a million balls. Dad took us to tournaments. Couldn't have done it without them. We had a happy tennis family.

I want to feel better. My wife says she likes me not drinking, not so many highs, so many lows, I don't lose temper, I'm more patient.

You've got to be clutch. The fans are getting behind it.

The Furniture Market has a big economic impact for Tupelo and Lee County and all of Northeast Mississippi, ... It creates jobs, creates tax revenues. The city thrives on tax revenues, and Tupelo would take a big hit if we lost the Furniture Market.
