Bob (left) and Mike Bryan swept aside Russians Nikolay Davydenko and Igor Andreev in Saturday's doubles to earn the United States an unbeatable 3-0 lead and a record 32nd Davis Cup.

The Americans, who won the opening singles matches at Memorial Coliseum, had not claimed the team title for 12 years, their last success also coming against Russia on the clay of Moscow in 1995.

The dominant Bryan brothers, winners of five grand slam titles together, crushed their opponents 7-6 6-4 6-2 in just under two hours to secure their 13th doubles triumph in 14 Davis Cup appearances.

"We will remember this for the rest of our lives," a beaming Mike Bryan said in a courtside television interview.

"It's difficult to explain how we feel right now. It was a dream for us to win the final match."
