Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic have beaten defending champions Leander Paes and Lukas Dlouhy 7-5, 6-2 to win the men's doubles title at the French Open.

This was their third Grand Slam title together; they won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2009.

"I'd like to first of all congratulate Leander and Lukas," Nestor said. "These guys have an unbelievable Grand Slam record. They win pretty much one out of every two they play, so we got them today, but I'm sure they're going to come back strong at Wimbledon."

Zimonjic, who also won the mixed doubles title Thursday with Katarina Srebotnik, turned 34 a day before the doubles final.

"He doesn't look a day over 40," Nestor joked. "I think he looks great for 40."


Nestor also thanked the fans.

"We appreciate when you guys stick around and watch us," he said. "It makes the atmosphere that much better."

Their title winning run in Paris sees Nestor and Zimonjic reclaim the No. 1 spot in both the 2010 ATP Doubles Team Rankings and the individual ATP Doubles Rankings.

Paes, who won the title in 1999 and 2001 (both with Mahesh Bhupathi) and then with Dlouhy in 2009, said: "It has been a great two weeks and I'm happy to be in the finals for the second successive time. I would like to thank Lukas for making it happen and sticking with me."

Dlouhy, on his part, credited the opponents for playing terrific tennis and said hopefully next year they would regain the title.

"They were just too good today. Hopefully me and Leander will play some more tournament in the future and regain the title next year," Dlouhy said.
