'Lucky win' say Bryan brothers

Bob and Mike Bryan won their seventh Grand Slam doubles title Saturday when they bounced back to crush Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles 2-6, 7-5, 6-0 in the Australian Open final.

The American identical twins looked headed for defeat when the India and Bahamas pairing of Bhupathi and Knowles raced through the first set.

But after the Bryans won the hard-fought second, it was plain sailing in the third.

"We were a little lucky to win today, but we really love coming here to play. It's a really special event," said Mike Bryan.

It was the second seeds' third Australian Open title with the win taking them back to number one in the world.
