Mike and Bob Bryan, the most successful doubles tennis team of all time, paid a visit to the Dave Marshall Tennis facility at Plantations July 21 for a fantasy clinic with Dr. Dave Marshall, former Milford and Washington College player and pro coach.

The clinic raised funds for the Big Fish Charitable Foundation, Big Fish Cares, to continue to offer after-school tennis clinics for youth in need in Sussex County. The program helps deserving kids learn the importance of teamwork, determination and sportsmanship, making sure they have the opportunities they need to succeed.

The Bryans have won 45 Grand Slam trophies, 119 doubles titles together and were ranked No. 1 in the world for a record 11 years. They have garnered Olympic Gold, dozens of Davis Cup match wins and an NCAA doubles championship.
