Bob and Mike Bryan say they will retire after the 2020 U.S. Open, closing a professional tennis partnership that includes a men’s doubles record of 16 Grand Slam championships.

The 41-year-old American twins announced their plans Wednesday in Los Angeles during the season-ending ATP Finals in London, which they qualified for but decided not to enter.

The Bryans have won 118 titles in all, including 39 at ATP Masters tournaments.

Their résumés also include winning the 2007 Davis Cup that was played in Portland and the 2012 London Olympics doubles gold medal for the United States, along with 10 year-end finishes as the No. 1 doubles team in the rankings.

Bob Bryan had hip surgery in 2018, but he rejoined his brother on tour this year, when they won two ATP titles.

They said Wednesday they intend to play all the Grand Slam events in 2020 as well as at Del Ray Beach, Fla., in February and the “Sunshine Double” at Indian Wells, Calif., and Miami in March. Other tournaments are still to be determined.
