Nestor in doubles finals

We haven't really shone over these years with canadian athletes doing well in tennis - but Daniel nestor is our star.
He's done so well over the years, with different partners (his current partner is Serbian Nenad Zimonjic) and now he is in the Wimbledon finals.
He made the finals back in 02 with longterm partner Mark Knowles of Barbadoes but they lost to Bjorkman and Todd Woodbridge.
Go Nestor!

Re: Nestor in doubles finals

He wins - or they win. Canadian Daniel Nestor and Serbian Nenad Zimonjic defeated Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman and Kevin Ullyett of Zimbabwe 7-6 (12), 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-3 in the doubles final at Wimbledon.
Nestor, 35, won the 2002 Australian Open, 2004 U.S. Open and 2007 French Open with previous partner Mark Knowles.
The win was the 10th in a row for this team.
Nestor becomes he first Canadian to ever win at Wimbledon.

Re: Nestor in doubles finals

Wow, that's amazing! In all the years this tournament's been held, no one from Canada has ever won a title before? Heck of an accomplishment for Nestor!

Re: Nestor in doubles finals

we just don't seem to be able to support tennis and churn out international players. That's why greg rusedski left canada and decided to play for Great Britain back in 1995 - he was so disappointed with our lack of money etc to support tennis.
So nestor is a major boost for tennis here.
