Robert Charles Bryan (born April 29, 1978) is an American professional tennis player. He has won twenty-three Grand Slam titles: 16 in men\'s doubles and 7 in mixed doubles. He turned professional in 1998. With his twin brother Mike, he has been the world No. 1 doubles player for much of the last several years, first achieving the top ranking in September 2003. The brothers were named ATP Team of the Decade for 2000–2009. The brothers became the second men\'s doubles team to complete the career Golden Slam at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Bob Bryan ended his 2018 season early with subsequent hip surgery in August 2018 due to an injury he sustained during his Madrid final retirement earlier in May 2018, which would have elevated the Bryan brothers as the oldest players back to the top of the men\'s doubles ranking if they were victorious. Bob Bryan\'s recovery is expected to take about 6 months, which has led to his brother Mike\'s rare and uncertain search for other partners to play with in his absence.\n', '

He finished the year as the no. 1 ranked singles player in the nation in 1998 after winning the clay court nationals and reaching the finals of Kalamazoo. The brothers were back-to-back Kalamazoo doubles champions in 1995 and 1996 and won the US Open Junior doubles title in 1996.\n', '

He played for Stanford University in 1997 and 1998, where he helped the Cardinal win back-to-back NCAA team championships. In 1998, he won the "Triple Crown" by taking the NCAA singles, doubles (with his twin brother Mike), and team titles. He was the first man to accomplish this since Stanford\'s Alex O\'Brien did it in 1992.[citation needed]\n', '
