Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic defeated Bob and Mike Bryan 6-4, 6-1 in just 48 minutes to capture their second ATP World Tour title of the 2009 ATP World Tour season at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. They won in Rotterdam in February.
“We were both on top of our game,” said Nestor. “Everything was working. Once we got ahead in the first set at 4-4, everything started clicking and I think it was the best we have played as a team. We’re happy to win here.
“We got off to a slow start [to the season] and I think the most important thing has been to get confidence by playing matches. Hopefully we can carry it through the next few weeks. It’s great to reach my 99th final, I’ve won a few and lost some too. It’s always nice to get a win.”
Zimonjic, who captured the 2004 Monte-Carlo title with Tim Henman, said: “It is a great feeling when you play finals like this, especially against the No. 1 team. Obviously everything went perfect for us. I have to say it was a perfect match, I don’t think we can play better than this. We took all our chances and didn’t face a break point. To do it against the Bryans in the final is a great achievement.
“We haven’t been playing great the last few weeks, I had some problems with my knee and I have to say the doctors and medical staff have really helped me a lot. Slowly my game has been improving this week. Hopefully we can continue to play well and build the rivalry with the Bryans that we had last year.”
