Bryans Capture Second U.S. Open Doubles Title

Friday, September 5, 2008

(Sports Network) - The American twin Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, won Friday's men's doubles final at the 2008 U.S. Open.

The second-seeded Bryans defeated a seventh-seeded tandem of Czech Lukas Dlouhy and Indian veteran Leander Paes 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (12-10) on Day 12 at the USTA National Tennis Center. Paes captured the mixed doubles title, alongside Zimbabwe's Cara Black, here on Thursday.

The Bryans, who now return to the top of the doubles rankings, also captured the U.S. Open title in 2005 and have now won six Grand Slam doubles championships, going 6-7 in their 13 major finals.

The 30-year-old Bryans also reached the U.S. Open final back in 2003, but lost that one.

Bob and Mike Bryan will split $420,000, while Dlouhy and Paes will split $210,000.
