Bryans fall from No. 1 after 90-week run

   Because of a fluke in the schedule, former Stanford All-Americans Bob and Mike Bryan lost their No. 1 world ranking in doubles Monday after 90 consecutive weeks.
   Replacing the 34-year-old Bryan twins, who now share third, were Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Daniel Nestor of Canada. At 39 years, eight months, Nestor is the oldest player to be ranked No. 1 in doubles. Mirnyi is 34.
   "I was not really aware of the points count this week," Mirnyi told atpworldtour.com, "but I am certainly conscious of our consistency and the good work that we've been able to put in during the last year and a half." 
   The Bryans, who won the 1998 NCAA doubles title, dropped because of a calendar shift. Their points from winning last year's Mutua Madrid Open fell off the computer one week early. Last December, they  broke John McEnroe's record of 270 total weeks at No. 1.
   Both Mirnyi, 6-foot-5, and Nestor, 6-foot-3, have Sacramento connections. Mirnyi was tutored by Sacramento State men's coach Slava Konikov, a Belarus native, and Nestor was named the World TeamTennis Male Rookie of the Year in 2003 as a member of the Sacramento Capitals.
   Nestor and former partner Nenad Zimonjic were the last players to knock the Bryans from the top, surpassing them in August 2010.
   Nestor ranks fifth all-time with 116 weeks at No. 1 in doubles, and Mirnyi is tied for 16th at 40 weeks. Mirnyi was last ranked No. 1 in April 2007.
   The pair has won six titles, including the French Open and the ATP World Tour Finals, since joining forces at the beginning of last year.
