Bryan Twins Meet the Plutt Twins
Bob and Mike Bryan are mirror image twins. Scott and Michael Plutt are mirror image twins.
Mirror image twins are identical twins with different dominant hands. In other words, one of them is right-handed and the other is left handed.
Bob Bryan is left-handed and Mike Bryan is right-handed.
Michael Plutt is left-handed and Scott Plutt is right-handed.

One of the Plutts dreams was to meet the Bryan Brothers. For their birthday, their coach, Bill Clark, arranged through Mark Bay, the Bryan's coach for the four boys to meet. "We went down to the Sony-Ericcson and watched the pre-match warm-up and then they all took pictures. It is probably the first time that I have ever seen Michael and Scott speechless," said Clark.
