The American duo of Bob & Mike Bryan received two ATP World Tour awards on Friday at the 2013 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, the ATP World Tour Number One Doubles Team, presented by Emirates; and the ATPWorldTour.com Fans' Favorite, presented by Moët & Chandon at The O2 Arena in London. The Bryans finished as the number one duo in the Emirates ATP Doubles Team Rankings for a fifth successive year and record ninth time overall (2003, 2005-2007, 2009-2013).
“This is our biggest goal at the start of the year,” said Mike Bryan. “We have had the best season of our careers and we would like to thank the best coach in the world [David Macpherson] and the support of our wives.”
The Bryans won 11 titles in 2013, including three major championships and five ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crowns. They received 43 percent of votes to be named the ATPWorldTour.com Fans’ Favorite presented by Moët & Chandon for a record ninth time.
“We have the best job, traveling around the world,” said Bob Bryan.
