Bryan Brothers on switching sides in Delray Beach Open win: "We just looked at each other and we just said, 'Why not?"

The Bryan Brothers (Bob and Mike) claimed the Delray Beach Open title for the sixth time as they came from a set down to clinch it.

For The Bryan Brothers they used a technique to gain an advantage and explained how a fan helped them out with that so they could come back and defeat Luke Bambridge and Ben McLachlan in the final of the Delray Beach Open.

They also teased that this could be a method that could be used in future if matches aren't going their way.

“A guy, a random fan in the crowd, yelled out, ‘Why don’t you switch to your old sides?’” Mike told ATPTour.com. “We just looked at each other and we just said, ‘Why not?’”

“We have [done it] both ways, so it’s nice to have that flexibility,” Mike said. “It’s something you might see us do this year if a match is going that way.”

“When you don’t get a sniff, and we didn’t have any chances, we didn’t win too many points the other way, we thought we had to do something different,” Bob said. “We’ve played over a thousand matches the other way, so we’re used to those patterns.”
