Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, the twins who are far and away the most successful American men in professional tennis over the past two decades, announced Wednesday that they planned to end their careers at next year’s United States Open.
Starting at the 2003 French Open, the Bryans have won 16 Grand Slam doubles titles together, most recently at the 2014 U.S. Open. They also won Olympic gold together in 2012. An American man has not won a Grand Slam singles title since Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S. Open.
The Bryans, 41, have not competed on tour since the U.
