Bryan Brothers Win 2013 Wimbledon Championship

The Bryan Brothers have achieved a historic win, winning their 15th Grand Slam Championship of their career. The twins, Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, defeated Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo in a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win on Saturday at The All England Lawn, Tennis & Croquet Club in Wimbledon, United Kingdom.

The 35 year-old-brothers have won the first three Grand Slams of the Year, The Australian Open in January, the French Open in June and now the Wimbledon Open, and are hoping to win all four including the US Open which begins in August.

“It’s hard to even dream that we’d have the slam, all four at one time,” said Mike Bryan. “It all started back after we won the gold. It just felt like a huge pressure was released. Went on to win the Open and had a great summer. This year we’ve been on an amazing tear. Never had a streak like this. Especially at 35, I feel like we’re hitting our peak.

“In the context of our career, it is probably up there at the top. I didn’t think anything could feel as sweet as the gold medal, but this one just feels like there’s a cap, a lid, or a ribbon around our career. It’s pretty cool. It’s something we never dreamed of, to try to win four in a row. It’s too hard to dominate in doubles. Maybe we had a little luck involved along the way. We just took one at a time. It just added up. Now we got to try to suit back up for the calendar slam.”

The Wimbledon win is the third time the Bryans have taken home the trophy having won in 2006 and in 2011.
