Competing this week as the top seeds at the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship in Houston, legendary doubles pairing Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan revealed their first memorable moment on the ATP World Tour, first concert and their unusual pet they had growing up. First moment I realised I loved tennis Mike: Probably the first tournament we went to Indian Wells when we were seven years old.

Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan remain in the hunt for a fifth Miami Open presented by Itau title following a dramatic 6-7(4), 6-4, 11-9 win over Croatians Marin Cilic and Nikola Mektic in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.

You're looking out at the water every time you wake up. You can basically hit a ball into the ocean. So beautiful. We know the prince [Albert II]. He's invited us to his castle up on the hill. It's tough to beat that scenery. If you could win only...
