Bryans win AO men’s doubles title
Here’s a bit from the post-match interview:
Q. You’ve won all four Grand Slam doubles titles. Have you any ambitions left?
BOB BRYAN: We always want to play well at these tournaments, these Grand Slams. I think it’s where you’re remembered in this game. We want to stack up against some of the great teams.
By winning all four, that put us in the history books. Davis Cup’s big for us. We always want to play well at Davis Cup. We lost in the finals to Spain that one year. I know James Blake and Andy Roddick are really ambitious about the Davis Cup. We want to help them win that.
Q. What makes you a great doubles team?
MIKE BRYAN: We’re twins. We’ve been playing together since we were five years old. We’re a lefty‑righty combination. Bob is a huge server; I’m a pretty good returner. If you play thousands of matches together, you’re going to flow well out there on the court.
We don’t use too many signals. We just wing it now. We’ve played so many matches that we kind of read each other’s minds out there. Australian Open Interviews
