American brothers come from a set down to win men's doubles
Bob and Mike Bryan won their seventh Grand Slam doubles title Saturday when they bounced back to crush Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles 2-6, 7-5, 6-0 in the Australian Open final.
The American identical twins looked headed for defeat when the India and Bahamas pairing of Bhupathi and Knowles raced through the first set.
But after the Bryans won the hard-fought second, it was plain sailing in the third.
