Both men Adam is 23 and Jason 20 recently returned from overseas where they featured in 10 international future tournaments in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
They made seven quarter finals before reaching the final in Arlon, Belgium where they fell 6-2, 6-2 to their high ranked opponents.
As it was their first ever final, the Taylors are now ranked 1040 on the ATL World Tour.
Originally plying their trade in Port Macquarie with coach and father Steve, the dynamic duo have found a new home in Gosford where they train full time in preparation for a big season of summer tennis.
"It was a great adventure to travel around Europe to pursue our tennis dream and to share it with my brother is something we will never forget," Jason said.
"We gained experience that can only be learnt on the tour and it was something that money can't buy."
In their travels the pair slept in a car to save money, sacrificing a comfortable lifestyle on the way to chasing their dreams.
In the past, the brothers have been hitting partners for many of the top ranked tennis players at major Australian tournaments including their heroes, the Bryan brothers.
The Bryan brothers are identical twin brothers Robert and Michael and are regarded as one of the greatest doubles teams of all time.
"Were hitting with the Bryan brothers again when they arrive in Sydney early next year," Adam said.
"They are our biggest inspiration and who we aspire to be like and hopefully in the next few years we can match it with these pros." The Taylors are now hoping to secure more entries into major tournaments.
The brothers wished to thank Port Macquarie Travel Agency who aided them with their flights. They would also like to ask any local businesses who are willing to sponsor them.
