Bjorkman, Woodbridge win men's doubles
Top seeds and defending champions Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Todd Woodbridge of Australia won the Wimbledon men's doubles title on Sunday.
Top seeds and defending champions Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Todd Woodbridge of Australia won the Wimbledon men's doubles title on Sunday defeating Julian Knowle of Austria and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia and Montenegro 6-1, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4
It was 33-year-old Woodbridge's ninth men's doubles title at Wimbledon breaking the 100-year-old record of the Doherty brothers, Laurie and Reggie.
Woodbridge won his first six titles at Wimbledon with long-term playing partner Mark Woodforde in 1993 and the last two with Bjorkman.
During that time, he lost only one final playing with Woodforde in 1998.
That gives Woodbridge 10 men's doubles final appearances equalling the number of finals that Laurie Doherty reached in the early years of the 20th century, but is one short of Reggie's total of 11.
