Can someone specify if they are fraternal or identical twins? Achen00 04:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
The lead to this article currently states "who form the most successful doubles team of brothers of the Open era." I don't know much about doubles tennis but I know enough to know that this is obviously incorrect. " The Woodies" were far more successful for one, and I guess there may well have been others. For now I'm going to remove/correct the sentence. If anyone has any good sources saying otherwise they'd be interesting to read. aLii 19:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
As I see it there is no need for individual pages for the members of a doubles team unless they also have singles careers. These two don't do they? aLii 19:37, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I think this page should be merged into Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan. They are notable as individuals, not just a team, and having in essence three pages for two people is overkill. Kolindigo 19:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Image:1993-1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

They are both individually notable. Furthermore, they do not compete only with each other, so this is not a case of dealing with people who are only notable with each other. Right now, there are three pages to discuss two athletes. There should be a page for Bob Bryan and a page for Mike Bryan. Kolindigo ( talk) 02:09, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

The Davis cup section in the 3rd paragraph lists a "20–3 record in doubles matches" and "Their three losses" ... then says they lost once in 2005, once in 2008, and twice in 2013. It's probably not necessary to list all of their losses individually in the first place, but if they're going to be there, they should add up. Inukshuk8 ( talk) 17:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
At the moment it says that the Bryan Brothers hold the record of 6 Year–End No. 1 for individual players' ranking between 2005-2011. I believe that this is no longer true as Mike Bryan alone actually holds the record of 7 after 2012- I've put a note by the record for now explaining this. However, I think that this particular record should be removed as it is now held by Mike Bryan and not by both brothers. Any thoughts? MiniFats01 ( talk) 12:23, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Holding all Slam tournaments at the same time is not a Grand Slam. Nobody considers Novak Djokovic to have achieved the Grand Slam - rather he is 'the third man to hold all four major titles at once'. This should be consistent for the Bryan Brothers.
I think we need to clarify a distinction between a "DNQ" and an "Absent" for the performance timeline. In 2018, the Bryan brothers did not qualify for the ATP Finals. The reason for this is Mike Bryan and Jack Sock were ranked higher in the race than Bob and Mike Bryan, and by going down the standings, the Bryan brothers were ineligible to qualify because Mike Bryan was already in the tournament. Contrast this with the 2019 ATP Finals, where the Bryan brothers were in a qualifying (top 8) position but elected to withdraw. In 2018, the Bryans did not have the option of competing and could not have done so even if they wanted to. That is a "DNQ". In 2019, the Bryans had the option to play and chose not to. That is an "Absent". 2605:E000:1309:CD88:F8FC:73A:DB46:C5D4 ( talk) 23:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
