I was lucky enough to see one of their matches, literally courtside on the outer courts at Wimbledon, in 2006.  I managed to get in at the end of the day when people leaving often gave their tickets to others waiting to get in.  I was one of about 5 people watching their match.  Those outer courts had bleachers on the side and I sat front row right at the service line.  They do talk to each other constantly, Mike was like a QB calling audibles at the line.  But I could never make out what they were saying because it was "twin-ese" code that obviously only they understood.  And the way they played together was marvelous, never out of sync.  I think it took them about 45-50 mins to demolish their opponents in straight sets.  Bob's big serve and overhead were dominant and Mike put away every volley chance he had.  I'm not a big doubles fan but the Bryans were something to behold.
