Martina Navratilova gives Bob Bryan a hand

Robert ("Bob") Charles Bryan was born on April 29, 1978, in Camarillo, California and is an American male professional tennis player. With his twin brother Mike, he has been a World No. 1 doubles player for the last several years. He has won eleven Grand Slam titles, including six in men's doubles and five in mixed doubles. He turned professional in 1998.

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.

World Team Tennis

The Bryan brothers played for the Idaho Sneakers early in their career. They currently play for the St. Louis Aces.

ATP Tour

With his twin brother Mike (who is the younger by two minutes at birth), Bob has won 48 doubles titles, including six 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. In 2006, the Bryan brothers won Wimbledon and the Australian Open and completed a Career Grand Slam. They repeated their Australian Open victory in 2007. The Bryan brothers are currently ranked World No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals. Twice they were the year-ending top-ranked team, in 2004 and 2005.

Davis Cup

The Bryan brothers have been stalwart supporters of U.S. Davis Cup tennis, supporting their country around the world. The United States sealed its 32nd title at the 2007 Davis Cup.
