Melbourne - Mike and Bob Bryan lost in the third round of men's doubles at the Australian Open on Monday, the second straight year the twin brothers have failed to reach the quarter-finals.
The top-seeded Bryans lost to 14th-seeded Dominic Inglot of Britain and Florin Mergea of Romania 7-6 (4), 6-3.
The Bryans have captured six of their 16 career Grand Slam doubles titles at the Australian Open - their most successful major. They fell in the third round last year, as well.
The Bryans finished with the No. 1 doubles ranking last season for a record 10th time in the last 12 years, capturing 10 titles and compiling a 64-12 record.
