Bob and Mike Bryan, the most successful doubles pair in the history of tennis, were not on the entry list for the US Open released on Wednesday, raising the prospect that the 42-year-old twins may have chosen to end their professional careers.
The Californian pair, famous for their trademark chest-bump celebration, had previously announced they would bid farewell after this year’s tournament at Flushing Meadows, scene of their Grand Slam debut in 1995.
In an interview last month after a World Tennis Tour event at the Greenbrier in West Virginia, they said they had not yet decided whether they were finished competing.
