While there were no American entrants into the ATP tournament over in France this weekend there were a couple in the doubles field. The big one is of course the brothers-duo of Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan. The brothers are seeded fifth and have a bye to the second round. Not seeded and playing in the first round on Wednesday will be Rajeev Ram who is teaming up with South African Raven Klaasen. They are taking on Henri Kontinen of Finland and John Peers of Australia. The winner will take on the #1 seed in the second round so it’s going to be a challenge to advance far in this one.

The American women are gearing up for a Fed Cup World Group Playoff match at Australia at the end of the week to try and get back into the top group for next year’s competition.
