			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bryan brothers <a href="http://www.protennislive.com/frameset.asp?year=2009&amp;wkno=15&amp;lang=en&amp;tabno=1&amp;eventid=0410&amp;ref=www.atpworldtour.com" target="_blank">came up short</a> in Monte Carlo for their bid for their fifth tournament win in 2009, but they are having a stellar season nonetheless.  They were 4-0 in finals so far this year, including the Australian Open to start the year.  Turning 30 last year &#8212; they will turn 31 on April 29 &#8211; has not slowed the twins down.  The fate of American men&#8217;s tennis is often bemoaned (including by me, I confess &#8212; <a href="http://www.topspinblog.com/2009/04/monte-carlo-a-no-go-for-all-americans-except-the-bryan-brothers/" target="_blank">no one showed in Monte Carlo for singles</a>) but there has never been a better American doubles team &#8212; and with eight more tournament wins, they can tie the all-time record for doubles championships.  They will break the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woodies" target="_blank">Woodies&#8217;</a> record, and they deserve more recognition than they get (are you listening, Sports Illustrated?).  Here&#8217;s more below from their web site, <a href="http://www.bobandmike.com" target="_blank">http://www.bobandmike.com</a> (be sure to check out the score of the deciding tiebreaker): <span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><a href="http://www.bobandmike.com">Bob and Mike have advanced to the final in Monte Carlo.  They won a thrilling semifinal over Dlouhy/Paes 6-7(3), 6-2, 14-12 MTB.  The match lasted one hour and thirty-two minutes.  This brings the Bryans career head to head against them to 3-0.</a></span></span></p>
