American brothers Bob and Mike Bryan won their fourth Australian Open doubles title on Saturday, beating Canada's Daniel Nestor and Serbia's Nenad Zimonjic 6-3, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3 in the final. The win follows their successes here in 2006, 2007 and 2009. It was their eighth Grand Slam title overall.

They trail only Australian pair Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge, who won 11 Grand Slam titles. After cruising through the first set, the top seeds stumbled in the second set tie-break as victory loomed, dropping the last five points after leading 5-2 to allow the second seeds, aiming for their third Grand Slam title, to level the match. However, an early service break in the third set was enough to secure the victory.
