Bryan twins lose in men’s final

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

PARIS – Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Max Mirnyi of Belarus beat twins Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States 6-7 (5), 6-4, 7-5 Saturday to win the French Open men’s doubles title for the second year in a row.

The same teams faced each other in the 2005 final at Roland Garros. They also met in the U.S. Open final in September, when the Bryan brothers won.

The Bryans are the first men’s doubles team to reach six consecutive Grand Slam finals, and they had a chance to tie the record for most major titles in a row at three.
