Mike Bryan: “This is a Wimbledon title. This is as special as it gets"

On Saturday American twins Bob and Mike Bryan equalled Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge’s record of 11 grand slam men’s doubles titles, when he took over his second Wimbledon crown.

The Bryans clinched a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 win over Sweden’s Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau, of Romania, to add to their victory in 2006. The All England Club had lost three previous finals.

Grand slam haul also added five Australian Opens, three US Open and one at Roland Garros.

However, this year he captured the Wimbledon title the hard way, five off the third round at Simon Aspelin and Paul Hanley and Michael Llodra in five other semi-final seat needed to subdue and Nenad Zimonjic.

Mike Bryan said, “This is a Wimbledon title. This is as special as it gets. I always thought we’d play our best at Wimbledon, and we’ve lost three heartbreaking finals”.

“To get on that board again, to have two Wimbledon titles, is really special. And then to equal the Woodies, a team that we idolised, the greatest team in our mind, is unbelievable.

"We’d love to try to get to 12 and do that at the US Open, but those guys have been really gracious. They’re the first to come up to us and congratulate us.”
