Bob and Mike Bryan have won the U.S. Open men's doubles, defeating Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi 7-6(5), 7-6(4).

The Bryans came from a mini-break down in each tie break to win what Bob Bryan called the "best match" of their careers.

The pair broke the all-time team record by winning their 62nd title at Los Angeles earlier this summer and have not lost a match since.

"It's just been a crazy summer," said Bob. "There was so much emotion in LA after we won there. You know, there was a lot of pressure building, and breaking the record in front of our whole family actually just released a lot of tension, I guess, that had been building.

"Maybe we were playing safe up to that point, but the flood gates have kind of opened since and we've played the best tennis we've ever played.  This is the craziest summer we've ever had.  To win Toronto, Cincinnati and the Open is a dream come true."

They now have nine Grand Slam men's doubles titles, two behind the record set by Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge.

The Bryans also paid tribute to their opponents, whose cross-border partnership attracted publicity during their run to the final. Pakistan's Qureshi has been vocal about the political significance of his partnership with India's Bopanna and his desire to encourage peace between their neighbouring countries.

"It's a game, you know, when it comes down to it -- a lot of people in Pakistan who don't have homes and are out on the street," said Mike. "I mean, what they're doing to bring India and Pakistan together is pretty special."
