- Bob and Mike Bryan (born 29 April 1978 in Wesley Chapel, Florida, United States) joined the professional tour in 1998 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 1 in doubles in September 2003. During the 2000s and the 2010s, the Bryan brothers, generally playing together, became the most successful doubles team in tennis history. Between 2003 and 2019, they spent a total of 438 weeks together at the No. 1 spot, with Bob spending an additional week alone at the top for a personal total of 439 weeks and Mike 68 more weeks alone (while Bob was sidelined due to injury) for a record total of 506 weeks. The Bryans also hold the record for most seasons ended together at No. 1, with 10 top finishes between 2003 and 2014. They hold the record for most doubles Grand Slam titles as a team, with 16 titles out of 30 finals: 6 Australian Opens (2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013), 2 French Opens (2003, 2013) 3 Wimbledons (2006, 2011, 2013) and 5 US Opens (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014). After Bob was injured in 2018, Mike won 2 more Grand Slam titles with Jack Sock (the 2018 Wimbledon Championships and 2018 US Open) to hold alone the record for most doubles major titles with 18. The Bryans also won 4 year-end championships together (2003, 2004, 2009, 2014), with Mike winning one more alongside Sock (2018). They picked up 2 medals for the United States at the Summer Olympic Games, the bronze in Beijing (2008) and the gold in London (2012). With different partners, they won a total of 11 major mixed doubles titles (7 for Bob, 4 for Mike). On the ATP Tour, the Bryans collected a record of 118 titles together between 1999 and 2019 (with Mike winning an additional 5), including 39 ATP Masters 1000 titles. They were part of the United States Davis Cup team from 2003 to 2018, winning the tournament once (2007). In November 2019, both of them announced their plans to retire after the 2020 US Open.
