“We have tons of respect for those guys, they are legends, they are marquee, they can only make our game better,” Bob Bryan said. “It was just great to have the ‘Indian Express’ back on the doubles court. It was an extra-special feeling out there.”

Paes was amazed at the Bryans ability to play perfectly on the court.

“If they had not served 83 percent first serves, but maybe 76 percent, it could have maybe been a different story,” Paes said. “Today we lost to the best team on the planet.”

The Bryans have held the No. 1 ranking in doubles for the past eight years. They have also won the U.S Open three times and the French Open and Wimbledon once.

Reynolds had won a tiebreak over Witten, 7-4, to extend the match to overtime.

Abigail Spears won a singles event and teamed with Robert Kendrick to win mixed doubles to pace the Sportimes.

After the Kastles took two of the first three events (sets), Spears defeated Angela Haynes, 5-1, in the fourth frame, putting the Sportimes ahead, 16-13.

Reynolds then won the fifth event, 5-4, to set up the tiebreak and decisive super-tiebreak.

Spears and Kendrick began the night by upsetting reigning Wimbledon mixed doubles champion and former world doubles No. 1 Leander Paes and former women’s world No. 1 Rennae Stubbs, 5-2.

New York (1-0) travels to Albany on Tuesday to face the New York Buzz, then returns home to take on James Blake and the Boston Lobsters on Wednesday on Randall’s Island.

As fate had it, that turned out to be a good omen as it allowed him to text Carly Gullickson who was looking for a partner two days before the tournament. So much for needing practice as the unlikely unseeded American pair got a wildcard and rode it all the way to the mixed doubles crown capping off a great run by upsetting defending champs Cara Black and Leander Paes 6-2, 6-4.

Usually, Black and Paes are as tough as it comes. But the underdogs caught them by surprise to pull it off. Up two breaks in the second after crusing through the opening set, they dropped serve making things tight.

But both remained poised winning on Parrott’s serve when Gullickson putaway a forehand volley into an open court, screaming in joy before hugging her victorious partner.

“I was super-relaxed because I felt no pressure on the court, because it was just fun,” the exhilerated Gullickson said.

The daughter of former MLB pitcher Bill Gullickson played the early hero during their amazing run with her volleying skills besting one of doubles’ best in Max Mirnyi back in Round One, saving match point in their comeback win over Mirnyi and Nadia Petrova.

“Then, you walk into that second round, and you’re just all of a sudden, just happy to be in the tournament,” a pleased Parrott noted. “It’s a whole new mind frame.”

“If she’ll play with me,” Parrott said as Gullickson fittingly replied:

“Yeah, for sure.”

Perfect conclusion from an unlikely duo took them all the way. One neither will ever forget.
