American Jack Sock and Canadian Vasek Pospisil might have trouble topping their first tournament as a team after defeating Bob and Mike Bryan of the US 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in the Wimbledon doubles final on Saturday.
The winners broke the top-seeded Bryan brothers' service in the final game on their fifth match point, with Sock smashing the winning forehand on a Mike Bryan second serve.
Pospisil said they had a simple formula for beating the all-time best doubles pair in Grand Slam history: "Close your eyes and hope you play the best tennis of your life," the Canadian said, smiling.
