the Super Bryan Bros. are 35, which on the singles tour would make you an ancient reanimated mummy. but in doubles you can look like a spring chicken forever. how long did Navratilova keep winning doubles trophies before finally calling it quits?
that's why singles tennis is so lonely and cruel. when you start to slip, there's nowhere to hide, no smaller role you can take on the 3rd line to make yourself look good while younger teammates pick up the slack. I felt really bad for Blake as he got choked up knowing he should have won last night but...most of the time, sports doesn't care about your fairytale ending.
