Bob Bryan & Mike Bryan to be inducted into International Tennis Hall of Fame

Doubles legends Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame next year, the organisation announced Thursday. They will join Maria Sharapova in the Class of 2025.

“It’s been a great ride, the career, doing it together,” Bob said in a virtual call with former WTA star Kim Clijsters, President of the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

“There were a lot of people that were involved in our career,” Mike added. “Obviously our parents, who made tennis fun for us, supported us along the way with unconditional love and support.”

The American twins redefined success with their storied careers, combining for 119 tour-level titles and 1,109 match wins. They spent 438 weeks at No. 1 in the PIF ATP Doubles Teams Rankings, won 16 Grand Slam titles, went 15 consecutive years making a Grand Slam final and made an astonishing 178 tour-level finals.

The brothers proudly represented the United States, helping their country to Davis Cup glory in 2007 and claiming the men’s doubles gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012. 

“I am honoured to welcome Maria Sharapova and Bob and Mike Bryan as the International Tennis Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025,” Clijsters said. “Beyond each of their historic accomplishments on the court, the Class of 2025 have had such a profound impact on the game of tennis and have inspired multiple generations of fans across the world. We look forward to celebrating them in Newport next year.”

The Class of 2025’s induction will take place during the Induction Celebration from 21-23 August 2025.

Mike concluded: "After we’re done we’re going to do a chest bump in here if we could find enough room."
