Bryans have pulled out of Dubs, anyone know why? The #1 seeds on the Draw are Bogomolov/Lipsky

[teentodiefows]

Bryans have pulled out of Dubs, anyone know why? The #1 seeds on the Draw are Bogomolov/Lipsky

They're pleading fatigue:

"In talking to the guys after their match this morning, they were both very tired and had not slept well all week and had not adjusted to the (seven-hour) time (difference)," wrote Wayne Bryan, who will again serve as the Clay Courts' emcee. "They thought of having to come back across the Atlantic to adjust to U.S. time and perhaps getting all the way to the finals (in Houston) on Saturday, then getting in yet another yet and fly right back to Monte Carlo was just too daunting." http://www.chron.com/sports/article/...ks-3466401.php

Would not be surprised if Isner withdrew also as he has scheduled Monte Carlo

[Adimonnna]

Would not be surprised if Isner withdrew also as he has scheduled Monte Carlo

Isner said he will decide what he will do after the Davis Cup but I will be surprised if he plays both events.

[jagxj12]

Early evidence indicates that Isner is top 5 on clay! If my advice were asked, I would say stay in Monte Carlo for some rest and extra training next week and then try to do some damage to the real clay courters in the same place a week after.

[CorpoRasion]

He is playing Houston after all

Of course he is. Because he's not on my TSIP team. And he'll win, of course.
