THIS WEEK IN AMERICAN DOUBLES
June 10, 2008

American Doubles continued to shine in the last week as Bob Bryan -- the last American standing at the French Open -- took the Mixed Doubles title there with Victoria Azarenka. On the USTA Pro Circuit Men's Pro Circuit, it was an all-American final at the $50K Yuba City Challenger when Nicholas Monroe and Michael Yani took the trophy over Jan Michael Gambill and Scott Oudsema. The American women also fared well at the Kaelin/Diadora USTA Women's $10K in Hilton Head Island, with Jennifer Elie and Nadja Gilchrest winning the top prize in the doubles draw there.
