In 2005, the dominance of Mike Bryan and his twin brother, Bob, hit a new level on the tennis court.
The best doubles pair in tennis won the U.S. Open, captured five titles, reached the finals of all four Grand Slams and finished as the No. 1 team in the ATP doubles race for the second time in three years.
But the twins didn't come out of nowhere in 2005. The duo has dominated doubles since they turned professional in 1998. In 2004, they won an ATP-best seven titles and reached 11 finals. They also helped the United States reach its first Davis Cup final since 1997 and reached the quarterfinals in the Olympics.
In 2003, they won their first Grand Slam, the French Open, without dropping a set. They also broke Tim and Tom Gullikson's mark for most doubles titles by a brother duo with their 11th win.
