Doubles tennis doesn't usually make headlines, which is a shame, because it's just as much a part of the sport as singles (and more fun to watch, in my opinion).But semi-famous American doubles team Bob and Mike Bryan made the news at the French Open when they refused to shake their opponents' hands following a three-set loss in the quarterfinals.
Trailing 5-1 in the third set tiebreaker, the Bryans were miffed when opponent Pablo Cuevas celebrated by leaping over the net. In case you're wondering, the more orthodox and civilized way is to walk around the net post, taking a swig of your Evian water while you're at it.
The Bryans took umbrage: "He was really disrespectful," Mike said. "He jumped the net right in our face. It's classless." The brothers punished Cuevas the only way they knew how, by refusing to shake his hand after the match, and I'm guessing no hugs were exchanged, either. Cuevas seemed to be OK with that.
"Maybe I celebrated a little too much. But it's worth it," he said. "It's not every day you beat the No. 1 team."
Not very classy behavior by either doubles team, if you ask me. Hopping the net is juvenile and should be reserved for a Saturday morning practice session, but the Bryans could have easily risen above the fray by giving their excited opponent a pass.

Hours after the game, Cuevas got a phone call:
(caller): Pablo...it's Joba! Couldn't you have just done a fist pump? Net-jumping is just over the line!
