Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan - the Bryan Brothers retired this past week and they are now the first ATP Tour players to automatically qualify for inclusion on the International Tennis Hall of Fame ballot.
Policy amendments were made in 2018 which mean that the most accomplished team in doubles history will be on the Class of 2025 ballot. This is due to a five year retirement policy on entrants.
The following criteria is used to dictate entrants into the ballot - Singles: Must have won three major singles titles and have been ranked World No. 1 for a minimum of 13 weeks; Or, have won five major singles titles.
Doubles: Must have won 12 major doubles titles and have been ranked World No. 1 for a minimum of 52 weeks; Or, have won 15 major doubles titles.
The Bryan Brothers have previously lifted a team record 16 major doubles titles and spent 438 weeks as World No.1's. They will still need to be voted in but their impact is already seen.
