Bob and Mike Bryan are now the all-time leaders in doubles titles won as a team after defeating Eric Butorac and Jean-Julien Rojer 6-7(8), 6-2, (10-7) to win Los Angeles.
Their previous attempts to set the record at the French Open and Wimbledon were unsucessful. But on Sunday, playing their 100th final, the Bryans won their 62nd title to move ahead of the previous mark of 61, set by Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde.
"It feels great. This is our home court," Mike said in an interview with ESPN. "It's a record we never thought we were going to get."
"This record looked like Mount Everest when we started our career," added Bob. "Now here we are, 12 years into our career."
The twins came from a set down against their unseeded opponents. "We were nervous. My arm was jelly," said Mike.
