Placing one early for tomorrow , seeing how people were all over Bryans in their previous match taking anything from 1.10 down to 1.01 I have a feeling everybody and their grandma will be on them tomorrow too even tho their opponents will be better than the ones before .

H2H is 2-0 for Bryans , both matches played this year .
Sure old guys are very experienced and are still a force as a team but Bryan brother are just better than them . They have 44-8 record on grass and made Wimbledon finals 3 years in a row and this will be their 4th straight Wimbledon doubles event finals . They won it 2006 but finished as runners up in 2005 and 2007 .
Bjorkman is a legend when it comes to doubles and especially grass courts being 3 times doubles champion :
2002 J.L. Bjorkman SWE and T.A. Woodbridge AUS
2003 J.L. Bjorkman SWE and T.A. Woodbridge AUS
2004 J.L. Bjorkman SWE and T.A. Woodbridge AUS
However his partner Ullyett will be a weaker player out of the 4 on the court tomorrow , his best performance at Wimbledon was 1/2 finals and overall I dont rate him as high on grass courts as players like Bryans , Bjorkman , Nestor or Zimonjic . Dont get my wrong Ullyett has won 31 doubles titles in his career , 3 of them coming on grass but he doesnt have the serve like the Bryans . Bjorkman and his partner struggled in the previous round against Petzschner/Peya coming on top in the deciding 5th set . Bjorkman/Ullyett spent 220 minutes on the court in their win against Petzschner/Peya while Bryans only needed 97 minutes to beat their opponents .
Bryan brothers have advantage with their more powerful serve and overall almost perfect game for these courts .
