Nestor and Zimonjic win Wimbledon doubles title

Second seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic defeated Jonas Bjorkman and Kevin Ullyett 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-3 to win their first Wimbledon doubles title on Saturday.

Bjorkman's hopes of lifting a fourth Wimbledon doubles title before retiring at the end of the season fizzled out in the third set, Nestor and Zimonjic getting a break of serve in the fourth game, rescuing a break point in the process.

Serbia's Zimonjic celebrates winning his first grand slam title having lost in the final at Wimbledon in 2004 and 2006, and the French Open earlier this year.
