Bryans break McEnroe record; new rankings released

   Bob and Mike Bryan achieved another milestone Monday.
   The former Stanford All-Americans are ranked No. 1 for the 271st week, breaking John McEnroe's record.
   "To achieve this record and surpass John McEnroe, who we've always looked up to, is awesome," Mike said on the ATP World Tour's Web site. "This ranks up with our record of most team titles (75). It shows we were consistent throughout our whole career and we didn't want to relinquish the top spot."
   Bob, whose first wedding anniversary is Tuesday, had a different perspective on the record than his 33-year-old twin, who's still single.
   "It is number two, right below getting married, and will soon be number three, after my wife gives birth to our daughter in January," he said.
   The Bryans, Southern California-born sons of longtime Sacramento Capitals coach Wayne Bryan, are tied with Australians Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde for the most Grand Slam men's doubles titles in the Open Era (11).
   Pete Sampras holds the mark for the most weeks at No. 1 in singles at 286. Roger Federer, ranked No. 3 behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, trails by one.
