Bryans Reach Fourth Wimbledon Final

POSTED: 4:39 pm EDT July 2, 2009

(Sports Network) - The top-seeded American twin Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, landed in their fourth Wimbledon final on Thursday.

The former champion Bryans handled a ninth-seeded tandem of Wesley Moodie and Dick Norman 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 at the All England Club. The South African Moodie and Belgian Norman were fresh off their surprise French Open title last month.

The Bryans, this year's Australian Open champs, titled here in 2006 and were the Wimbledon runners-up in 2005 and 2007.

The Bryans' opponent on Saturday will be the reigning champion duo of Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic. The second-seeded team snuck past an unseeded American pairing of James Blake and Mardy Fish 5-7, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3), 10-8 in Thursday's other semifinal.

The Canadian Nestor and Serbian Zimonjic defeated Jonas Bjorkman and Kevin Ullyett in last year's Wimbledon finale.

Saturday's winning squad will split $377,000.
