Mike Bryan

Bull
Mike is a good doubles player but Bob is sensational

Mike broken again at a key point.  3rd break today?

i'd agree with 46years. still a class doubs player, bob is just incredible. everyone knows mike's serve isn't as big or as good

They're identical twins, aren't they?

I'm no expert on advanced twinology, but shouldn't that mean both should be naturally left- or right-handed at the same time? So is Mike maybe playing with his otherwise not dominant hand?

i have no idea on that edy but what i do know was that lipsky just choked

There's plenty of better doubles players out there than Mike

Lipsky indeed did.

I just thought it was some brain stuff which is developed very very early that is connected to handedness. Having the exact same genes I would've thought they'd develop that skill equally. During the match the commentator said Bob is naturally left-handed, though maybe he just said that because he plays tennis left-handed. I don't know.

I think it would be interesting to know if they both have the same natural handedness, but for whatever reason decided as kids to use different hands to play tennis. Either because they just deemed it fun at that age, or they had seen a really cool doubles pairing that had a left- and a right-hander, or it was simply a means to tell them apart on the tennis court.

That reminds me there's a similar pair on the WTA tour coming up. The Pliskova twins are also identical, but they use different hands as well.

Identical twin in english does refer to being an exact copy genes-wise, doesn't it? It's not some funky term that's also used if you have normal twins that don't have the exact same genes, but just look alike, is it?

What would I do without wikipedia?

In monozygotic twins (MZ), there is no big difference in the frequency of left-handed individuals compared to the normal population. The frequency of right-handed and left-handed pairs of MZ twins is about 21%, while twins with both individuals displaying left-handedness is less than 4%.

It is believed that this correlation between handedness in twins mirror imaging is due to MZ twins sharing the same placental blood supply, and being surrounded by the same chorionic membrane. The zygosity and chorion type do not influence twins handedness. [1] It is hard to think that discordant handedness in MZ twins demonstrated mirror imaging.

irrelevant, doubles players don't play by themselves. no other doubs player could form the partnership mike does with bob. extraordinary pairing

interesting stuff edy

That's complete nonsense

so this Mike is bad, right?

gonna do all in on Paes/Vesnina.
