Bryan Brothers Win Second Masters Series Title
Bob and Mike Bryan claimed their fourth title of the year and the 13th of
their careers when they defeated Australian duo Wayne Arthurs and Paul
Hanley 7-5, 7-6(5) to win the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters
doubles final. The Bryans, who also won their first Grand Slam title at
Roland Garros this year, extended their lead in the ATP Doubles Race and
are certain to qualify for Tennis Masters Cup Doubles in Houston. It is
their first title in Cincinnati.
The Bryans, who have won more titles than any other team of brothers, won
their first Masters Series doubles title in Toronto last year. The Bryans
have enjoyed an outstanding season at Masters Series level in 2003, reaching
the final in Indian Wells and the semifinals in Miami, Hamburg and Canada.
The Bryans have now won at least four titles a year for three consecutive
seasons. In addition to their Roland Garros and Cincinnati triumphs this
year, the Bryans also won titles in Barcelona and Nottingham. In the
Cincinnati semifinals the Bryans defeated 2002 ATP Doubles Race winners
Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor, who could have replaced the Bryans in first
place in the 2003 Race had they won the title.
Arthurs-Hanley were making their third final showing of the year, having
won titles in Rotterdam in February and Tennis Masters Series Roma in May.
They came in as the 8th team in the ATP Doubles Race. The Aussies advanced
to the final highlighted by three-set wins over No. 4 seeds Bjorkman-Woodb
ridge in the quarterfinals and top seeds Bhupathi-Mirnyi in the semifinals.
