Reuters Tony O'Brien USA's Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan during a press conference
Mike, on the other hand, said that the duo has given over 20 years to the ATP tour and believes that it's now the right time to walk away and focus on the next chapter of their lives.
One of India's most successful tennis players and former Davis Cup team captain Mahesh Bhupathi congratulated the Bryan Brothers for their brilliant career and even joked that he would have been a lot more successful if not for them.
"We love to play, but we don't love preparing our bodies to go out and compete".
Let us tell you that the California-born Brian brothers had already said that the year 2020 will be their last season on the ATP Tour. We want to quit now that we say goodbye with good tennis, "added Mike".
The US Open is to start on Monday.
The Bryans have won 119 titles in all along with the 2007 Davis Cup and the 2012 London Olympics doubles gold medal for the United States. They finish their well-known careers with a 1,108-359 team win-loss record.

The malware was aimed at extracting data from the network and then to threaten the company for ransom money, the statement said. Kriuchkov meet with the employee numerous times in early August, before inviting them to help with a "special project".
"We are most proud of the way we devoted ourselves completely to the game and gave our full effort every day", ATPtour.com quoted Bob Bryan as saying of their decision to retire. "We will also miss the excitement of gearing up for a big match and playing for the roar of the fans". "We were down a break of serve and smiling, and not one bit of negativity drifted into our game". Their goodbye from the slopes is bittersweet, as they haven't been able to compete for most of the year. Bob racked up a total of 439 weeks by undergoing hip surgery in August 2018. While he was off the tour, Mike won two extra Grand Slam titles with Jack Sock as his partner.
The legendary tennis pair of America's Bob and Mike Bryan bid farewell to the game on Thursday. They have had a career of 30 years in which they had won innumerable matches together.
In March, just before tennis shut down because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Bryans clinched a Davis Cup best-of-five series by giving the USA a 3-0 lead against Uzbekistan in Hawaii.
Under new guidelines established in 2018, the twins are the first ATP players whose certifications qualify them for programmed posting on the ballot for the International Tennis Hall of Fame, bypassing the standard nomination process.
They will be qualified for the class of 2025.
