Bryan Brothers Back To Delray QF

Four-time champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan enjoyed a successful – albeit tight – return to the Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com on Wednesday night. The twin Americans ousted New York Open champions Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies of Germany 7-6(5), 7-6(3) to reach the quarter-finals of the ATP 250.

“They played well last week… They’re doing really well,” Mike Bryan said.

Both teams held throughout the opener, and they twice traded breaks in the second set before the Bryans sprinted to a 5/1 lead in the tie-break. They will next face Frenchmen Adrian Mannarino/Hugo Nys, who beat Americans Steve Johnson/Tennys Sandgren 6-1, 6-2.

Radu Albot and Yoshihito Nishioka eliminated Nick Kyrgios/Jackson Withrow 7-6(2), 6-1 and will meet the Ken Skupski/Neal Skupski of Great Britain in the semi-finals. The brothers beat Italians Paolo Lorenzi and Andreas Seppi 7-6(5), 7-6(3).
