WIMBLEDON, England -- Fourth-seeded Todd Woodbridge and Jonas Bjorkman won the Wimbledon men's doubles title Saturday, defeating top-seeded Mahesh Bhupathi and Max Mirnyi 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3.

It was Woodbridge's eighth men's doubles title at Wimbledon, which ties a century-old record held by brothers Hugh and Reggie Doherty. They won eight between 1897 and 1905.

Woodbridge won six Wimbledon titles with fellow Australian Mark Woodforde and now has two with Bjorkman.

It was the ninth overall men's doubles title for Woodbridge and Bjorkman. They also won the Australian Open in 2001.

Woodbridge now has 14 Grand Slam men's doubles titles, a record in the Open Era. Bjorkman has four in men's doubles. He also won the 1998 Australian Open with Jacco Eltingh.

Woodbridge is closing in on the record of 78 career doubles titles held by Tom Okker. Woodbridge has 76, one behind John McEnroe.
