Bryan Brothers are the most successful doubles players in the history of tennis. Mike and Bob won 16 Grand Slam titles together and also triumphed at the ATP Tour Finals 4 times. The two spent more than 20 years on the ATP Tour together, and now they spoke about their special twin relationship.

“This doesn’t last unless we have the same DNA, the same blood. Our teeth are the same, we’ve got our braces on and off the same day. His retainer fit my mouth, it was just weird,” Bob Bryan said. “We’ve been connected at the hip since birth. I think twins are weird. It’s not normal to be this close to someone that’s not your spouse. It’s an unbreakable bond. It had to be a twin relationship for this to last this many years. You play doubles with a guy for a couple of years and he starts to get on your nerves and you’re looking for someone new”

“You have to be able to be around them all day with the practice, eating lunch. You’re a package deal. It is like a marriage and then you’re going through ups and downs weekly,” Mike said. “When stress gets involved, things could be said and if you lose matches you never want to look in the mirror and say, ‘I could have done this.’ We never had that vibe. You’ve got to be crazy to be around someone like this for this long”
