   Northern California fans will have only one chance to see the Bryan brothers at home this summer.
   Bob and Mike Bryan, the No. 1 men's doubles team in the world, will play in just three of the new California Dream's 14 regular-season matches during World TeamTennis' 40th season.
   The Bryans' lone home match is scheduled for Thursday, July 23, at 7:30 p.m. against San Diego at Sunrise Mall in the Sacramento suburb of Citrus Heights. They also are set to play at Boston on July 25 and Philadelphia on July 26.
   The Bryan twins, who will turn 37 on April 29, have won a record 16 Grand Slam singles titles.
   The Sacramento area will return to WTT after a one-year absence. The Dream, which replaces the defunct Sacramento Capitals, will play its inaugural match on July 12 at San Diego.
   Playing full-time for California will be Aisam Qureshi of Pakistan, Tennys Sandgren of Wesley Chapel, Fla., Jarmila Gajdosova of Australia and Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain.
