U.S. Davis Cup captain Jim Courier says that it’s a luxury to have the world No. 1 doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan on his team set to face France in Monte Carlo in this weekend's Davis Cup quarterfinals. Rookie Ryan Harrison will open against top French No. 1 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and then American John Isner will face Gilles Simon. The Bryans are scheduled to play Michael Llodra and Julien Benneteau. The Bryans have won 19 of their 21 matches together in Davis Cup play with one of those two losses coming to Llodra and Arnaud Clement in 2008. "Their record is extremely strong," Courier told reporters. "I have the utmost confidence in them. As a captain, having them on your side, it feels like you're almost cheating, so it's great to have them on board. I'll explain: I don't have to do anything. They're a very self-sufficient organism."
