Cuevas/Horna beat the Bryans 6-3 5-7 7-6(1) in the QF of RG.
They´re not supposed to be great doubles players but they also beat Clement/Llodra and Dlouhy/Paes this week.
So they´re already in the SF, will probably play against Bjorkman/Ullyett.

poor nbc. who they gonna show now? ha

or the tennis channel, who have had corina chasing them down with a mike in her hand.
 
saw it, also the bryans shook Hornas hand, not Cuevas...

Very strange. Of course Cuevas is very young. Plays lots of doubles and is pretty good at it. His current ranking is only #50 but its the best for him so far. Horna is a good doubles player also. Ranked #43, which is also his highest. So they are both on their way up. Hope they play together some more.

My man Janko and Troicki are in QF :) Didn't expect that. Good run for Tipsarevic after first round loss in singles.

Did Cuevas make anything wrong?

Aparte de la lluvia, el partido terminó con una nota controversial, cuando los Bryan no saludaron a sus oponentes al final.
¿El motivo? Un gesto de Cuevas que los mellizos interpretaron como antideportivo. En el tiebreak del tercer set, al momento del cambio de lado y con la cuenta 6-1, Cuevas brincó sobre la red en vez de hacerlo por el costado.
"Fue una descortesía. Lo hizo en nuestra cara, fue un acto de poca caballerosidad", dijo Mike.
the twings got upset because Cuevas jumped over the net instead of walking bye during the tiebreak changeover

Horna was interviewed after the match on latin ESPN, he said he told Cuevas that they (Bryans) didnt have the right to get upsed about something like that, that he (Cuevas) shouldnt even think about that, cause of the way the Bryans constantly celebrate points, which, in Horna's oppinion, is OK, but just the same thing that Cuevas did, just celebrate a point...

Bryans..... what a couple of crybabies

Or maybe not. Bjorkman/Ullyett are losing to Vemic/Soares 7-5/3-2

So they skied over the net during a change over and the bryans get mad. the same Bryans who I have saw sky into each others chest on more than one occasion.

Its probably becasue they are using prince now instaed of Wilson :)

Bryan bros are a couple of smug *****s. Their chest thumping got old a log time ago, and yet they think they are still somehow 'cool'. Cuevas is a young player and this is a huge victory for him, he probably has a lot of respect for one of the top doubles teams. To refuse to shake his hand is very unprofessional and shows their true character, when they are not being profiled in US tennis mags.
 
Wow, that's huge! I didn't get to watch tennis earlier today butI always like to watch men's doubles if I can. This is really amazing. Opens things up considerably.

well, yeah he jumped over the net and ran to sit down on the changeover in the tiebreak . . . but you could tell he was just totally fired up. i mean, he had to get up from his chair two seconds later cos he wasn't supposed to be sitting in the first place. :wink:

i waited til the end to see if the brothers really dissed him. cuevas barely noticed, i think. he was so elated that they had won. but if that ain't the pot calling the kettle "black." they bryans ar the last team that should talk about other people's antics. how could they possibly get offended about such a spontaneous reaction by cuevas to winning the match of his life? especially when every other team (and the fans) have to endure their stupid high-flying chest bump . . . which, as noted, got stale a long time ago. HA!

bitter, party of two . . . bitter, party of two . . . your table is ready.
 
I found it crazy that they played throughout the entire rain delay, which would slow the balls down and favored the doubles giant killers of the tournmanet so far.

That is very, very, very poor sportsmanship. Hope the Bryans get royally bood the next time they do the chest thumping.

that's it..I remember seeing that but I didn't think anything of it. I mean to not shake someone's hand because of that is incredibily unacceptable. Give me a break, when they do that stupid bump chest isn't annoying?!
