Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic retained their men's doubles title with a four-set victory over top seeds Bob and Mike Bryan on Centre Court.

Second seeds Nestor and Zimonjic won two of three successive tie-breaks and then finally broke in the early stages of the fourth set to triumph 7-6 (9/7) 6-7 (3/7) 7-6 (7/3) 6-3.

It was a second Grand Slam title for the Canadian-Serbian partnership, who lost in the final of the French Open last month, and the duo become the first team to defend the title since Jonas Bjorkman and Todd Woodbridge in 2004.

Huge win

"It's just huge to win this with great champions surrounding me," Zimonjic said.

"It's an amazing feeling to defend the title and go home undefeated."

Nestor, who has won the other three grand slams with Mark Knowles, added: "We came together to play because we thought we had a greater chance of winning Grand Slams and we've won two already."

The Canadian also paid tribute to the Bryan twins, who have now lost three of their four Wimbledon finals and continue to trail Australian pair Mark Woodforde and Woodbridge by four slams in the all-time list.

"We feel fortunate to beat the Bryans," said Nestor. "They're great champions, they'll be around for a long time."
