USA is meeting Serbia in a Davis cup tie. Today Mike Bryan had to pull out of the doubles tie, due to food poisoning. This article was published today:
USA announced a change to its crack doubles combination of Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, the world number one team. Mike had come down with a dose of food poisoning and was being replaced by John Isner.
“Mike got room service, chicken curry, and at 3am he started to get the shakes and started to vomit, we put him on an IV, he came out to the stadium and tried to practise but shook his head as he knew he couldn’t finish a match,” Bob Bryan said. “I picked John because I wanted to back up that big serve and I think we combined pretty well.”
This was the first time that Bob had played doubles with someone other than his brother at tour level, while the withdrawal robbed Mike of the chance to equal John McEnroe’s streak of 21 consecutive Davis Cup ties.?
Was John McEnroe the man behind this? His brother Patrick is the Davis Cup captain. Did he instruct his brother to do this TO PREVENT BRYAN FROM TAKING HIS RECORD?
This is probably going to be a huge scandal.
