The grand slam is the seventh of the Bryans' careers

Twins Bob and Mike Bryan swept to their third Australian Open doubles title after a 2-6 7-5 6-0 win over Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles.

Third seeds Bhupathi and Knowles broke their opponents in the fifth and seventh games to claim the first set.

But they squandered three break points in the seventh game of the second set, allowing the American duo to hit back and level the match.

And the Bryans took the title in style, winning all six games in the final set.

The pair regained their world number one status from Nenad Zimonjic and Daniel Nestor, after qualifying for the final.

The Australian Open title is their seventh career grand slam.
