Southern California Twins Tie Record at Wimbledon

Bob and Mike Bryan, the 33-year-old identical Twins from Camarillo, Calif., won the Wimbledon doubles title for the second time.

Bob and Mike Bryan, the 33-year-old identical Twins from Camarillo, Calif., won the Wimbledon doubles title for the second time, beating Robert Lindstedt of Sweden and Horia Tecau of Romania 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (2) Saturday.

The No. 1-ranked twins also won at Wimbledon in 2006. This is their 11th Grand Slam title together, equaling the Open era record of Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge. The duo has also been runners-up at Wimbledon three times.

Tecau lost his serve early in each of the first two sets. The Bryan twins didn't face a break point in the match and came through the third-set tiebreaker easily.

Last year the Bryan twins won the Los Angeles tournament for their 62nd overall win, setting the all-time victory record, previously held by Woodbridge and Woodforde.

The brothers attended Rio Mesa High School in Oxnard before being awarded full-ride tennis scholarships to Stanford University in fall 1996. The brothers played two years at Stanford, helping the team to NCAA team title both years.
