Mike and Bob Bryan defeated India's Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan's Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi 7-6 (7/5) 7-6 (7/4) to win their third US Open doubles title, their ninth Grand Slam title.

“This year’s been unbelievable,” said Mike Bryan. “It’s been a dream to win here on this court in front of all the fans; it was a magical atmosphere. This was probably our favourite match, in front of a packed house on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Right now, this is the pinnacle. Where do we go from here?”

Added Bob Bryan: “This has been the best two weeks of my life. This was the best match we’ve ever played. Bopanna and Qureshi played awesome. We just matched their energy and played incredible.

"The flood gates have kind of opened since (LA) 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."



Qureshi and Bopanna, who won their first ATP doubles crown last February at Johannesburg said:

“I know I gave 100 per cent, and Rohan gave 100 per cent also," said Qureshi. "We had opportunities. I think the Bryans played the big points really well, and they just proved why they are No. 1 in the world and definitely the best team in the history of tennis. I just see this Indo-Pak Express winning a long way, and in the future gonna win a lot of titles, as well.”

“It’s been a great run for us,” added Bopanna. “I’m really thankful that Aisam has played with me. It’s been a fantastic week. I’d like to congratulate the Bryans for being the best team out there.”
