At
the
2000
Wimbledon
semi-finals,
when
Serena
lost
the
match
against
Venus,
she
was
brought
down
to
tears.
Their
father
said
that
losing
for
Serena
was
equivalent
to
dying.
The

have
been
paired
against
each

in
8
Grand
Slam
finals.
However,
when
paired
together,
the
Williams
sisters
who
also
play
in
the
doubles
draw
and
were
the
No.1
pair
once
upon
a
time
have
13

Bryan
brothers

off-court
liking
for
music.
They
are
both
part
of
a
rock

band
called
“The
Bryan
Brothers
Band”.
Together
these

have

Stanford
University
alumni,
at
the
age

are
still
playing
the
best
tennis
to

and

will
play
for
many
more
years
to
come.
The
Bryan
Brothers: Marat
Safin
and
Dinara
Safina
Both
former
World
No.1s
and
the
first
brother
sister
duo
to
have
achieved
this
milestone
sadly,
retired
from
the
tennis
world
quite
early
in
their
respective
careers.
Marat
Safin,
known
for
his
emotional
Mike
and
Bob
Bryan,
the
identical
twins,
the
first
of
their
kinds
in
tennis
are
legends
in
the
doubles
game.
Mike
is
the

is
shorter
of
the
two
by

of
giving
each

a
flying

style
of
play
was
regarded
as
the
most
talented
player
of
the
late
90s
and
the
early
2000s.
At
the
age
of
19,
when
Marat
defeated
Pete
Sampras
in
straight
sets
in
the
US
Open
final
at
Flushing
Meadows
in
200,
he
won
several
hearts
and
gained
a
heavy
fan
base
all
praising
his
uncharacteristic
style
of
play
and
an
even
more
uncharacteristic
display
