Todd Andrew Woodbridge , OAM (born April 2, 1971 in Sydney ) is a retired Australian tennis player .

Career

He won 83 double titles on the ATP World Tour in his career , making him one of the most successful double players in tennis history. He won 61 tournaments with his compatriot Mark Woodforde - everyone called the duo The Woodies . Woodbridge won a total of 16 Grand Slam titles in doubles, including nine Wimbledons (record). After Woodforde ended his career in 2000, Woodbridge played with Jonas Björkman until the end of 2004 . From 2005 he formed a double team with Mahesh Bhupathi .

After early retirement with Bhupathi at Wimbledon in 2005 , the Australian announced his retirement from professional sport. As a reason for his resignation, he stated the changes to the rules of the ATP for doubles competitions from September 2005, which provided for smaller playing fields and a new way of counting.

For his Olympic victory in 1996, he received the Order of Australia on January 26, 1997 . In 2010 Woodbridge was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame along with longtime doubles partner Mark Woodforde . Woodbridge has been married since 1995 and has two children.
