# 2006 Wimbledon Championships – Men's doubles

Bob and Mike Bryan defeated Fabrice Santoro and Nenad Zimonjić in the final, 6–3, 4–6, 6–4, 6–2 to win the gentlemen's doubles tennis title at the 2006 Wimbledon Championships. With the win, the Bryan brothers completed the career Grand Slam. It was their record seventh consecutive major final.
Stephen Huss and Wesley Moodie were the defending champions, but lost in the third round to Simon Aspelin and Todd Perry.
The quarterfinal match between Mark Knowles & Daniel Nestor and Aspelin & Perry became, at the time, the longest match ever played at Wimbledon, lasting 6 hours and 9 minutes, with Knowles & Nestor winning the match 5–7, 6–3, 6–7$^{(5–7)}$, 6–3, 23–21. This record was eventually broken at the 2010 Championships, in the first round men's singles match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut. It remains as of 2018 the longest doubles match played at any major.
