Although the Bryan brothers are as much the face of men’s doubles, they know they play second fiddle to the big show, the first meeting between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in a year. This overshadowed a record-tying accomplishment. The Bryan brothers, who beat their rivals Zimonjic and Nestor, won their 61st title together.
This ties them with the “Woodies”, the Australian team of Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge. The Bryan brothers have an opportunity to break the record at Roland Garros which would be nice, given their recent success on clay.
Most notably, they also won the finals in Rome making them, next to Rafael Nadal, the kings of clay, whatever that might mean for doubles, which is still played serve-and-volley regardless of surface.
