(Sports Network) - The world No. 1 twin Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, came up semifinal losers Thursday at Wimbledon.
An eighth-seeded doubles team of Swede Jonas Bjorkman and Zimbabwe's Kevin Ullyett upended the top-seeded Bryans 7-6 (7-3), 5-7, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (11-9) at the All England Club.
The Bryans captured the Wimbledon title in 2006 and were the runners-up here last year and in 2005.
Bjorkman and Ullyett will play in the men's doubles final on Saturday against either a second-seeded tandem of Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic or a ninth- seeded pairing of Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes. Nestor and Zimonjic were leading 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 6-1, 3-3 when play was suspended on Thursday.
