A copy of Bob and Mike Bryan's new CD, Let it Rip is a perfect gift for the tennis music lover on your Christmas list.
The new album contains five songs that feature Bob Bryan playing the bass and keyboards, Mike Bryan on the drums and David Baron as the lead vocalist also plying piano and guitar. During this year's US Open, the music-loving Bryan brothers worked their magic to convince fellow tennis players Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic to lend their “talents” to a song called, "Autograph." The track is about the attention famous sportsmen receive from autograph hunters.
The Bryan Brothers have been playing musical instruments as long as they've been playing tennis, often performing for family, friends and charity events. In 2009, they performed at four different ATP World Tour events including San Jose, Delray Beach, Houston, Wimbledon and Arthur Ashe Kids Day.
But just to prove their new foray into the music business isn't taking anything away from their tennis, the brothers finished the year by clinching the World Tour Doubles Title and the #1 world doubles ranking.
Both on and off the court, the Bryan Brothers "Let It Rip!"

Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. Never before has the inner game of tennis and the outer game of fame been so precisely limned. Alongside vivid portraits of rivals from several generations—Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer—Agassi gives unstinting accounts of his brief time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields. He reveals a shattering loss of confidence. And he recounts his spectacular resurrection, a comeback climaxing with his epic run at the 1999 French Open and his march to become the oldest man ever ranked number one.
In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf. Inspired by her quiet strength, he fights through crippling pain from a deteriorating spine to remain a dangerous opponent in the twenty-first and final year of his career. Entering his last tournament in 2006, he’s hailed for completing a stunning metamorphosis, from nonconformist to elder statesman, from dropout to education advocate. And still he’s not done. At a U.S. Open for the ages, he makes a courageous last stand, then delivers one of the most stirring farewells ever heard in a sporting arena.There's lots to choose from — some of our favorites included:
The Official 2009 US Open Ty "Beanie Baby" Bear, exclusive to the US Open. This little bear will be enjoyed by all.
Tennis players will love the Court Blu premium "cashmere" silicone iPhone case. It is ultra slim and allows easy access to all of your phone's ports and controls. A microfiber cleaning cloth and durable screen protector are included.
Or, how about an official men's or women's player towel. These towels aren't dated and can be used for years to come.
For the the ladies of the court —there's a handy carry-all, made from recycled materials featuring a graphic of the opening night fireworks. This bag will let you help clean up the environment in style. To sweeten the pot even more, the USTA is offering free shipping on orders over $75 and an additional 10% off for USTA members.
Anybody will tell you that having the proper set of tools in your hand certainly makes a job easier — it's no different with Roger Federer.
His tool of choice?
