Injury bad luck has forced the doubles-dominating Bryan brothers to withdraw from the ATP South American debut due to an injury to Bob's left shoulder.
The 32-year-old twin is expected to be out of action for a month, putting him back on track for a return to tennis at the Indian Wells Masters in March.
The Bryans had been tweeting their excitement about travelling to Brazil for the Costa do Sauipe event on clay. Officials said the American played his last three doubles matches with his brother in Melbourne after "taking high doses of pain medication."
The Bryans won their fifth Australian Open title at the weekend, which marked their tenth Grand Slam trophy, a total which carries them to within one title of Australians Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge at the majors. The Californians have stood No. 1 in the doubles table for the past eight seasons.
