Wimbledon-Bryans complete career slam in doubles

LONDON, July 8 (Reuters) Americans Bob and Mike Bryan today completed a career doubles grand slam when they beat Frenchman Fabrice Santoro and Serb partner Nenad Zimonjic to win their first Wimbledon title.

The twins' 6-3 4-6 6-4 6-2 victory means they are only the third doubles team to win all four grand slam titles in the professional era.

They join Dutch duo Jacco Eltingh and Paul Haarhuis and Australian pair Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge.

''This was the last one to get and the one we've dreamed about,'' said Mike Bryan.

''There's some legends on that board. Until now we could only say we lost in the final so it's gonna be sweet to say we're Wimbledon champions.'' The Bryans were surprisingly beaten in last year's final by qualifiers Wesley Moodie and Stephen Huss.

They were also competing in their seventh successive grand slam final, having become the first men's doubles team in the professional era to reach six at this year's French Open.
