Mike Bryan and Jack Sock triumph in doubles after a fantastic match.
The Americans had to defeat Raven Klaasen of South Africa and Michael Venus of New Zealand in 5 sets in the final after recovering from 1-2 sets deficit. The final result was 6-3, 6-7 (7), 6-3, 5-7, 7-5.
After this tournament, Mike Bryan becomes the oldest man to win the doubles title in Wimbledon at 40 years of age.
At these Championships, Mike didn’t play with his brother Bob that was injured to his hip to partner with Jack Sock that has already won this very title in 2014 with Vasek Pospisil after defeating the Bryans in the final.

I want to dedicate this to Bob. MIKE
Soon after the match, Mike commented: “I want to dedicate this title to him, because I’m sure he’s watching on TV.”
… and Sock…
Jack commented
“There was one guy I was going to play doubles with in this tournament, and it would be Mike Bryan, half of the greatest doubles team.”
