Paes-Damm lose doubles final

January 28, 2006 13:17 IST

Top seeds Mike and Bob Bryan of the U.S. came from a set down to beat Czech Republic's Martin Damm and India's Leander Paes 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the Australian Open men's doubles final on Saturday.

The 27-year-old twins, who became just the second pair in 50 years to make all four grand slam finals last year, were playing their third successive final at Melbourne Park.

They lost to Wayne Black and Kevin Ullyett in 2005 and to French pair Michael Llodra and Fabrice Santoro in 2004.

The Bryans have won two previous grand slam titles together -- the 2003 French Open and last year's U.S. Open.
