• Fifth seed Kei Nishikori won his third ATP World Tour title and second at the ATP World Tour 500 level (Tokyo 2012).
• Nishikori did not drop a set during the tournament en route to becoming the first player from Japan to win the trophy in Memphis.
• Lopez was appearing in his first ATP World Tour final since May 2011, when he finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic in Belgrade.
• Bob and Mike Bryan won their 85th team title and third this season, adding to their triumphs in Sydney and the Australian Open.
• The doubles title match was the first all-American final in Memphis since 2001, when the Bryans defeated Alex O’Brien and Jonathan Stark to win their first career title.

WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID  

Kei Nishikori: “I’m very happy with the way I played today. To win this title is an amazing feeling. I tried to concentrate on all the important points. I served really well this week. I was practising a lot and it’s getting better. Hopefully I can win a couple more titles. It’s been a good start to the year.”

Feliciano Lopez: “I didn’t play a bad match. He was very aggressive from the beginning. I think he probably played his best. I have no regrets. I tried everything I could and he was just the better player today. I hope to keep playing like I did this week.”

Bob Bryan: “We played great tennis all week and were even better in the final, which is nice. We got out of a couple sticky moments early in the match and the momentum shifted our way. We haven't put up scores like this in a while. It was nice to get it done and not sweat through a match tie-break. It was fun playing against two of our friends, too.”

Mike Bryan: “It's incredible there hasn't been an all-American final here since 2001, but it was great to be back where we won our first title. Bob and I couldn't have played any better. We love coming back here. To have three titles in four tournaments so far this season is amazing.”
