American doubles specialist Mike Bryan kept it humble after winning a record 18th Grand Slam men's doubles title. Bryan, 40, and fellow compatriot Jack Sock demolished No. 7 seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo in the US Open final 6-3 6-1.

Bryan and 25-year-old Sock, the 2018 Wimbledon champions, have never lost a Grand Slam match together as they now have a 12-0 record at the Grand Slams. Bryan captured his first 16 Grand Slam men's doubles titles with his brother Bob Bryan -- who hasn't played since May due to a hip injury.

Third-seeded Bryan and Sock lost just one set in six matches played on their way to capturing the US Open title. "This is not just about me. There are lot of people behind the scenes working to get this 40-year-old body on the court," Bryan said after claiming a record 18th Grand Slam title.

"This has been a magical run. I am going to soak this one in and enjoy it. It was a lot of fun today." Bryan needed a proper replacement for his brother Bob -- so he turned to Sock. "When I got the call from Mike right before Wimbledon to play, it was a very quick yes to play with one half of the greatest team of all time," Sock recalled.

Bryan and Sock fired 36 winners in a dominant 6-3 6-1 win over 2017 Wimbledon champions Kubot and Melo. The majority of those winner shots came from Sock's racket. "I need to thank Jack. He brought the youth and the big guns to the table today," Bryan said.
