The Latest: Dodig, Melo Win French Open Men's Doubles Title

PARIS — 8:25 p.m.

Third-seeded Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Marcelo Melo of Brazil won the French Open men's doubles final after beating top-seeded Americans Bob and Mike Bryan 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 7-5.

After hitting the winner with a cross-court volley at the net, Melo sank to his knees and put his hands on his face in apparent disbelief.

In the stands on center court, three-time French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten of Brazil took photos of Melo and Dodig as they celebrated.

The Bryan twins were looking to win the French Open for the third time and to extend their Grand Slam record to 17 titles.
