For once, the Bryan brothers weren't celebrating or commiserating together following a Wimbledon doubles final.
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 that 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. The unseeded pair of Bryan-Stosur broke once in each set and won in near darkness.

BULGARIAN CHAMPION: Grigor Dimitrov became the first Bulgarian to win a title at Wimbledon when he took the boys' singles title by beating Henri Kontinen of Finland.
The 17-year-old Dimitrov was broken just once by Kontinen and won 7-5, 6-3.
They entered the boys' doubles tournament at the All England Club as a team, but withdrew from their second-round match.
Although he was troubled by a shoulder injury, the No. 9-seeded Dimitrov did not lose a set during the singles event.
"When I was serving, the pain was incredible," Dimitrov said.
The 18-year-old Kontinen committed nine double-faults to Dimitrov's one, with 22 unforced errors _ 16 more than the champion.
Dimitrov hopes to get a wild-card entry into the main draw at Wimbledon in 2009.
"Everything is nice in here," Dimitrov said. "Especially the weather."

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

TARTAN TENNIS: Judy Murray, the mother of Britain's Andy and Jamie Murray, is building an academy in Scotland to unearth future stars.
"I want to establish a top-quality coaching environment for Scotland where there is a real shortage of tennis training facilities," Murray said. "We will offer our own coaching program for all ages and abilities. We will try to create a club atmosphere to encourage players to fulfill their potential as well as attract some of the best coaches in the country."
And Murray is in a good position to judge.
Jamie Murray won Wimbledon's mixed doubles title last year with Jelena Jankovic, and Andy Murray is ranked No. 11 in the world.
