Bryans win record-tying 11th Slam title

WIMBLEDON, England - American twins Bob and Mike Bryan won a record-tying 11th Grand Slam men's doubles title together Saturday, beating Robert Lindstedt of Sweden and Horia Tecau of Romania 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (2) in the Wimbledon final. The Bryan brothers won at Wimbledon for the second time and matched Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge's Open era record of 11 major titles. "To equal the Woodies - a team that we idolized, the greatest team in our mind - is unbelievable," Mike Bryan said. "To get their title record and get the Grand Slam record, I mean, I'm trying to figure out what's left. We weren't even thinking about 11 until Mark Woodforde came up and said, 'Congrats on getting that 11th."'
