Bruno is another great doubles player from Belo Horizonte, as well as Melo and Sá. He has always been a promising player, but many injuries almost made him quit tennis. Fortunatelly he had the head to stay on it and now it's paying off, with several great runs at doubles, which has always been his strong. In 2009 he will be partnering Ullyett full time and we can expect them at London for the YEC. Also a great guy, which is always good to see.

Bruno got married with Bruna () a few weeks ago. Marcelo Melo was the best-man, showing that they are good friends. There are some pictures at Melo's blog (http://blogdagirafa.blog.uol.com.br/)

Best of luck in 2009 and hope you are happy in this new stage of your life, Bruno

Australian Open Draw - Bruno/Kevin quarter:

Soares & Ullyett [BRA/ZIM, 7] vs. Benneteau & Serra [FRA]
De Voest & Fisher [RSA/AUS] vs. Devilder & Mathieu [FRA]
Knowle & Melzer [AUT] vs. Fish & Isner [USA]
Ferrer & Gimeno-Traver [ESP] vs. Damm & Lindstedt [CZE/SWE, 11]

Parrott & Polasek [USA/SVK, 15] vs. Andreev & Stakhovsky [RUS/UKR]
R. Ram & Reynolds [USA] vs. Vemic & Zovko [SRB/CRO]
Cañas & Safin [ARG/RUS] vs. Feeney & Smeets [AUS, WC]
F. Gonzalez & Hood [CHI/ARG] vs. Bryan & Bryan [USA, 2]

They could go far here. Most likely a 3rd round against Damm/Lindstedt which would be a pretty hard match.

Vamos Bruninho and Kevin
