Latest on US Open: Bryan Twins Lament 'Stars Didn't Align'
NEW YORK — The latest on the U.S. Open (all times local):
11:20 p.m.
Here's the way Bob Bryan summed up the first-round loss at the U.S. Open that means he and twin brother Mike will finish a season without a Grand Slam doubles title for the first time in a decade: "It was bound to happen at some point."
From 2005 to 2014, the Bryans won at least one major title every year, and they own a record total of 16.
But they lost Wednesday to another American duo, Steve Johnson and Sam Querrey.
"Unfortunately," Bob said, "the stars didn't align at the majors this year."
Johnson still thinks the Bryans are the best in the business.
