The American twins were on opposite sides of the net for Sunday's mixed doubles championship match. Bob Bryan teamed with Samantha Stosur of Australia to beat top-seeded Mike Bryan and Katarina Srebotnik of Slovenia 7-5, 6-4.

It was the second time the brothers, who are ranked No. 1 in men's doubles and have won five Grand Slam titles together, have faced off in a major final. Six years ago, Mike paired with Lisa Raymond to defeat Bob and Srebotnik for the U.S. Open title.

Sunday's match didn't start until after 8 p.m., when it was switched from Centre Court to Court 1 because of rain delays and the five-set men's singles final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

The mixed doubles lasted only 61 minutes, though.

LEAVE ME ALONE: Winning Wimbledon is likely to have one downside for Rafael Nadal: The media attention will increase.

Nadal said he was "persecuted" by photographers while dining in the village of Wimbledon on Friday. Writing on his personal Web site, Nadal said eight paparazzi turned up at a restaurant where he was celebrating 2002 French Open champion Albert Costa's 33rd birthday.

"I didn't tell anyone I was going out, and when I arrived, they sort of attacked me," Nadal wrote. "I don't know if this is the right word, but believe me it was strange. Too much."

Nadal was angered by the intrusion, particularly since he was trying to relax during a crucial stage of the tournament.

"I don't find it fair that when I have a few hours free, with my family, simply going for dinner, they persecute me and get those pictures that they sell," he wrote. "I am a public figure, I understand, but I don't live off publicity. I live off what I do on court. I work there."
