Tennis wasn't the only thing played at the 20th BNP Paribas Paris Bercy Master Series indoor tennis tournament October 28 - November 5, 2006. While Nikolay Davydenko impressed spectators with his title-winning performances (his first ever Master Series victory) on the court, Gibson Guitar offered an alternative performance environment at its Gibson booth where everyone was welcome to take an adrenalin break with his or her favorite Gibson or Epiphone guitar model.

Among those trading a racket for a guitar was tennis star Mike Bryan (photo) who, with twin and tennis doubles partner Bob Bryan, competed in the BNP Paribas Bercy Master Series tournament. Mike stopped by the Gibson booth to spend some quality time with an acoustic-electric Epiphone guitar.
