Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, coming off their record seventh finish as the ATP World Tour No. 1 Doubles Team, will return to the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships (ITC) for the 20th annual event that runs 24 February to 4 March 2012.

The Bryan Brothers won back-to-back ITC doubles title in 2009 and 2010, and will play in Delray Beach after a season of numerous achievements. Not only did the Bryans finish 2011 at No. 1, giving them three straight years with that distinction, but their Australian Open and Wimbledon titles gave them a record-tying 11 Grand Slam team trophies. The Bryans also hold the record for most career team titles with 75.

"The Bryans are favourites here in Delray Beach," said ITC tournament director Mark Baron. "They've got game beyond the court. When they come to town they jam on our music stage and have a good time with the fans."

On 12 December, the Bryans will hit another milestone when they break John McEnroe's longtime record of 270 weeks atop the individual doubles rankings.

The 33-year-old twins will join Andy Roddick and John Isner in headlining the ATP World Tour event at the Delray Beach Stadium and Tennis Center, while Ivan Lendl, Michael Chang, Mats Wilander and Pat Cash will highlight the 8-player ATP Champion's Tour round-robin tournament. The Delray Beach ITC is the only tournament in the world to host both Tours at the same venue in the same week.
