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.
