Double Act
Twin brothers Bob and Mike Bryan can be considered the greatest tennis
doubles team in the history of the game. Together they have produced some
astonishing accomplishments racking up stats that serve as a testament to
their domination of the sport. Since winning the US Open title in 2012 they have won a Gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London and won every Grand Slam title since with wins in the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon to achieve a rarity in
the game of tennis known as a “Golden Slam”. Add to this the chance to achieve a “Calendar Slam” if they win this year’s US Open and it becomes apparent that the Bryan Bro’s have taken men’s doubles tennis to the next level where they’ll wait in anticipation for their
challengers to meet
them.Carl Leo spoke to the Bryan Bro’s to get their views on their achievements, the doubles game and how their famous chest bump celebration came into being.

Wimbledon? It is certainly something we dreamed of growing up playing tennis, but it didn’t become a goal of ours until a few years into our professional careers. It probably wasn’t until our had some extra nerves going into Wimbledon. I (Mike) whiffed a volley in think I have ever done. We got off to and the other team started hot. After were able to win a few games in a row and our nerves started to settle. The some time to get back into the match. We are now going for the calendar
team since Australia’s McGregor and major tournaments in the same year. Do you pay attention to the history books and target these kinds of things or is it a case of taking things game by game? We are both students of the game, and have idolized so many past are certainly one of the best doubles teams our sport has ever seen, so it would be incredible to join their company. We didn’t start thinking we won Wimbledon. It is now a goal of ours and hopefully we can add this to our resume.
