Robert "Bob" Charles Bryan (born April 29, 1978) is an American former professional tennis player. Widely regarded as one of the greatest doubles tennis players of all time,[1] Bryan was ranked as the world No. 1 in men's doubles for 438 weeks (second-most of all time), and finished as the year-end No. 1 eight times. Bryan won 126 ATP Tour-level doubles titles, including 23 majors: 16 in men's doubles and seven in mixed doubles. Alongside his twin brother Mike, the Bryan brothers were one of the most successful doubles partnerships in tennis history. The pair were named the ATP Team of the Decade for the 2000s.[2] They became the second men's doubles team to complete the career Golden Slam at the 2012 London Olympics. The Bryan brothers retired from the sport together in August 2020.[3]

  • 30 Grand Slam men's doubles finals
  • 10-time ITF World Champions
  • 116 ATP Titles and 169 ATP Finals
  • 439 weeks at #1
  • 1000+ team match wins
  • 10 consecutive years of winning at least 1 Grand Slam
  • 11 time ATP Fans' Favorite Doubles Team and ATP Team of the Decade
  • "Bryan Golden Slam" (only team to simultaneously hold all Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal)
  • 7 consecutive Grand Slam finals (2005 Australian–2006 Wimbledon)
  • 39 Masters 1000 titles
  • "Career Golden Masters" (alongside Daniel Nestor only other players in history to win all nine Masters 1000 events)

Junior

He finished the year as the no. 1 ranked singles player in the nation in 1998 after winning the clay court nationals and reaching the finals of Kalamazoo. The brothers were back-to-back Kalamazoo doubles champions in 1995 and 1996 and won the US Open Junior doubles title in 1996.

College

He played for Stanford University in 1997 and 1998, where he helped the Cardinal win back-to-back NCAA team championships. In 1998, he won the "Triple Crown" by taking the NCAA singles, doubles (with his twin brother Mike), and team titles. He was the first man to accomplish this since Stanford's Alex O'Brien did it in 1992.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

ATP Tour

With his twin brother Mike (who is the older by two minutes), Bryan has won 116 doubles titles,[4] including sixteen Grand Slam titles. In 2005, the Bryan brothers made it to the finals of all four Grand Slam tournaments, only the second time a men's doubles team has done this during the open era.[5] In 2006, the Bryan brothers won Wimbledon and the Australian Open and completed a Career Grand Slam. Having won the 2012 US Open, they followed up by winning the first three majors of 2013, and thus held all four titles at once. They could not complete the calendar year Grand Slam, however, as they lost in the semi-finals of the 2013 US Open.

The twins have been the year-ending top-ranked team ten times: in 2003,[6] 2005,[7] 2006,[8] 2007,[9] and then each year from 2009 to 2014 inclusive.

The Bryan brothers have been frequent participants on U.S. Davis Cup teams. The United States sealed its 32nd title at the 2007 Davis Cup.

In the 2018 Madrid Masters 1000 final, Bryan injured his hip, and the pair had to retire down 3–5 in the first set. He underwent a hip relining and made a remarkable recovery, rejoining his brother less than a year later for the 2019 Australian Open and making it to the quarterfinals. They won their first title since his surgery in February 2019 at Delray Beach.

World TeamTennis

Both brothers kicked off their World TeamTennis careers back in 1999 for the Idaho Sneakers. They went on to play for the Newport Beach Breakers in 2004, the Kansas City Explorers from 2005 to 2012, the Texas Wild in 2013, the San Diego Aviators in 2014, the California Dream in 2015, the Washington Kastles from 2016 to 2018, and most recently the Vegas Rollers in 2019. They have two World TeamTennis titles, one from the Newport Beach Breakers in 2004, and another from the Kansas City Explorers in 2010. It was announced that Bryan, along with Mike, will be joining the Vegas Rollers during the 2020 WTT season set to begin July 12 at The Greenbrier.[10]

Personal life

Bryan married Florida attorney Michelle Alvarez in 2010; the couple have three children.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Davis Cup record (26–5)

Together with his twin brother Mike Bryan, the pair has won the most Davis Cup matches of any doubles team for the United States. Bryan holds the record for most years played (14) in the Davis Cup for the U.S.[11] He also holds a 4–2 career record in singles ties.
