Bob and Mike Bryan
Bryans Honored for Career Grand Slam

MASON - August 16, 2006 - The World No. 1 doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan were recognized for achieving the career Grand Slam during a Center Court presentation Wednesday evening at the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters.

Andreas Swick of Adidas, the sports clothing brand sponsoring the Bryans, presented Mike with a Fender guitar and Bob with a Korg keyboard in commemoration of their achievement. The customized instruments, sporting Adidas' trademark three-stripes, were personalized with the dates and titles from the four Grand Slam triumphs: 2003 Roland Garros, 2005 US Open, 2006 Australian Open and 2006 Wimbledon.

Following the presentation, the 28-year-old Californians tested out the instruments for the Cincinnati crowd. Bob and Mike, off-court musicians in the Bryan Bros. Band, recently recorded a new song called "Revolution" for the Doubles Revolution commercial.

The Bryans become just the third doubles team (Eltingh/Haarhuis and Woodbridge/Woodforde) in the Open Era to win all four major titles and the first team of brothers in more than 100 years to win Wimbledon. Appearing in an Open Era-record seventh consecutive Grand Slam final, the Bryans won their third major title (2006 Australian Open, 2005 US Open) from their past four outings.
