Bryan brothers win ninth Grand Slam doubles title
NEW YORK (AP)—The Bryan brothers have won their ninth Grand Slam title, beating India’s Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan’s Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi in the men’s doubles final at the U.S. Open.
Bob and Mike Bryan captured their third title at Flushing Meadows and 65th overall with a 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) victory Friday in a match in which neither team broke serve.
Ambassadors from India and Pakistan, neighboring countries with a decades-long history of tension, attended the match at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Bopanna and Qureshi have been playing together since 2003, though the story of their attempt to promote peace through sports has gathered pace in the past few months.
