			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HOUSTON – The record-setting, four-time champion Bryan Brothers and 2010 singles finalist Sam Querrey will join top-ranked American Mardy Fish at the 2012 US Men’s Clay Court Championship, April 9-15, at River Oaks Country Club.</p>
<p>Twins Bob and Mike Bryan have rewritten the doubles history books. Among the records they hold are most career team titles (75) as well as most years as No. 1 team (7), and they are tied with each other for most weeks ranked No. 1 individually (271).</p>
<p>The Bryans also have won a tournament-record four titles at the US Men’s Clay Court Championship, including the last three in a row, and they own a 16-match winning streak in Houston (did not play 2008 event). Overall, they are 24-6 at the tournament.</p>
<p>Last year the Bryans defeated Querrey and John Isner in the doubles final. Querrey has also been a singles finalist in Houston, falling to Juan Ignacio Chela in the 2010 title match. In his career, Querrey owns six ATP titles.</p>
<p>Querrey joins Fish in the singles field. Fish finished the 2011 season ranked No. 8 with a title and two other finals. He was champion at the 2006 US Men’s Clay Court Championship.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a USTA national championship, it’s certainly important to us to have top American players in the tournament,&#8221; said Tournament Director Van Barry. &#8220;The Bryans, Sam and Mardy are not only great players but good ambassadors for the game. We look forward to hosting them all at River Oaks in April.&#8221;</p>
<p>It’s not too late to purchase individual-session tickets and the very popular &#8220;Champ Pass&#8221; for the 2012 US Men’s Clay Court Championship as a holiday gift! The Champ Pass includes a ticket to the Friday, Saturday and Sunday sessions, which are usually sold out before the tournament begins. Information on tickets can be found at www.mensclaycourt.com or by calling 713-874-6294</p>
