美網混雙改跟 Mike Bryan 搭檔 - 威廉絲 Williams

有點複雜
總之 Navratilova 原本打算要和 Bob Bryan 搭檔
但 Bob Bryan 以為她跟 Leander Paes已經組好
可是 Leander Paes是跟 Samantha Stosur 搭檔

後來 Navratilova 邀 Bob Bryan 跟她在美網搭檔
結果打進混雙決賽後 大威表示希望美網再與 Bob Bryan 搭檔
可是 Bob Bryan 已經答應 Navratilova
所以決定讓 Mike Bryan 跟大威在美網搭檔


Q. How did Bob and Venus get together? When did that happen?

MIKE BRYAN: Uhm, right before the tournament, actually. Venus texted Bob.
I think Bob was set up with Martina but they weren't communicating too well.

Q. Martina?

MIKE BRYAN: Martina thought she was playing with Bob. Bob thought she was
playing with Leander. It kind of all get messed up. Bob committed to Venus and
Leander committed to Sam Stosur. So it was kind of messy there. I don't think
Martina was too happy for a few days. She just texted Bob last night and
scooped him up for the US Open. But then Venus asked Bob last night to play at
the US Open, so now he's already committed to Martina, so I might be playing
with Venus.

Q. So he's committed to Martina now?

MIKE BRYAN: Yeah, her last Slam.

Q. He's playing tonight's final with Venus?

MIKE BRYAN: With Venus, yeah.

Q. Without her knowing?

MIKE BRYAN: Yeah, Venus doesn't know that he's playing with Martina yet for the
US Open. I wouldn't tell her. They're going on pretty soon.

Q. Mike tried to explain to us how you and Venus got together. Can you explain,
and what's gonna happen at the Open?

MIKE BRYAN: I spilled the beans.

BOB BRYAN: Uh oh, jeez. Venus called me couple weeks ago and I jumped at the
opportunity to play with her. You know, she's an awesome player. You know,
Martina, me and Martina have been going back and forth with some text messages.
I've committed to play with her for her last Grand Slam at the Open. But, you
know, Venus asked me the other day to play the Open, too, and so they will
we'll probably have to slide her over to Mike.

Q. Slide Martina over?

BOB BRYAN: Slide Venus over to Mike. I owe it to Martina. We got in a little
miscommunication here over what we were going to do. She really wants to play
her last Slam with me. It's an honor to have that.

Q. Worse than prom dates, huh?

BOB BRYAN: Little bit.
