Daniel Nestor is fourth on the list of all-time doubles match wins leaders, behind Todd Woodbridge (782), Sherwood Stewart (723) and Jonas Bjorkman (709).
Having won 701 today to get into the semis, he should catch Bjorkman no later than the US Open and if the the team keeps rolling he should pass Stewart by year end. That would realistically give him a shot at passing Woodbridge next year.

Jankovic takes scalp of Safina« Previous « PreviousNext » Next »View GalleryPublished Date: 18 August 2009 JELENA Jankovic is "happy to be back" after beating world No1 Dinara Safina 6-4, 6-2 in the Cincinnati Open final on Sunday. The Serbian ended last year ranked No1 despite struggling in the first half of 2009, but outplayed the Russian to claim her second title of the year. "It's a good win for me, I'm happy that I'm back," said Jankovic, who has climbed to No4 in the world rankings after her efforts in Cincinnati. They almost look like sisters. Jankovic is 100% Turkic. She might be a descendant of the Cumans.

^ Gavrilo, not Turkish but Turkic. You have a lot to learn my friend. Anyway I thought of the Cumans because of Stefan Prvovencani receiving an army of Cumans from the Bulgars to help defeat his brother.

Djokovic into Beijing final, claims number 3 rank
BEIJING — Serbia's Novak Djokovic powered into the final at the China Open on Saturday with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Sweden's Robin Soderling, ensuring that he will claim the number three ATP ranking next week.
Djokovic, the second seed here, improved his record over French Open finalist Soderling to 4-0 and maintained pace as the top winner on the men's circuit with 62 victories in 2009.
Rival Andy Murray, who will surrender his number three ranking to Djokovic, has not played on the ATP World Tour since the US Open, missing the Asian swing due to complications from a wrist injury.
Djokovic, who won bronze at last year's Beijing Olympics, awaits a potential showdown in the final with top seed and world number two Rafael Nadal, who was facing Croatia's Marin Cilic at the 6.6-million-dollar ATP-WTA event.
The 22-year-old Serb needed less than 90 minutes to see off sixth seeded Soderling, who beat Nadal in Paris and then lost the final at Roland Garros to Roger Federer.
Djokovic fired six aces and broke Soderling four times on his way to the comfortable victory at the Olympic venue in the Chinese capital.
The Serb, who won titles at Dubai and Belgrade this season, stands 62-17 on the season and was playing in his 12th semi-final in 18 events in 2009.
Nadal will be looking to maintain his perfect record in Beijing, standing 14-0 after winning the 2005 China Open and claiming the Olympic gold medal in 2008.
The Spaniard is playing here for the first time since the US Open after healing an abdominal muscle pull. He and Cilic have never met.

8. novembar 2009. | 14:28 | Izvor: B92 Zimonjić i Nestor osvojili Bazel!Srpski teniser Nenad Zimonjić i Kanađanin Danijel Nestor osvojili su titulu u dublu na turniru u Bazelu savladavši u finalu braću Boba i Majka Brajana sa 2:0. Rezultat po setovima bio je 6:2, 6:3 za srpsko-kanadski par koji je bio postavljen za prve nosioce. Zimonjiću i Nestoru je to osma titula ove sezone, a pobedom u Bazelu osvojili su 500 ATP bodova i 71.500 evra. Zimonjić i Nestor su do pobede nad Bobom i Majkom Brajanom došli lakše nego što se očekivalo. Srpsko-kanadski dubl je već u prvom gemu napravio brejk, što je odredilo dalji tok meča. Do kraja prvog seta oba dubla su uspešno čuvala svoj servis, sve do sedmog gema kada su Zimonjić i Nestor napravili novi brejk za 5:2, a zatim rutinski priveli set kraju. U drugom setu Zimonjić i Nestor su napravili brejk u trećem gemu i poveli sa 2:1, ali su braća Brajan odmah uzvratili, a zatim i poveli sa 3:2. Ipak, srpski i kanadski teniser su u sedmom gemu napravili brejk za vođstvo od 4:3, a nakon toga su u devetom gemu ponovo oduzeli servis protivniku i došli do zaslužene pobede.

Superb Djokovic thrashes Nadal
World number three Novak Djokovic of Serbia will play home favourite Gael Monfils in the final of the Paris Masters.
Djokovic turned in a superb display to overpower Rafael Nadal 6-2, 6-3 in the semi-finals, before Monfils treated the partisan Parisian crowd with a thrilling 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic.
Djokovic was elated after hitting top form to demolish world number two Nadal, saying: "There's not much to say about that performance, except that it was perfect.
"It went exactly the way I wanted. Tactically, I did everything I wanted to do before the match. I was very aggressive, took early control of the match and it paid off.
"Today was one of those days when you feel everything is going right, everything is working for you."

Sport Đoković pobedio Monfisa u dramatičnom finalu – 6:2, 5:7, 7:6 (3) Novak osvojio Pariz posle trilera!Autor: Blic online | Foto:Reuters, AFP | 15.11.2009. - 18:01 Novak Đoković je osvojio Masters u Parizu posle jednog perfektnog seta i mnogo teže borbe u nastavku protiv Gaela Monfisa – 6:2, 5:7, 7:6 (3), za dva sata i 43 minuta igre. Najboljem srpskom teniseru je ovo druga uzastopna titula (posle Bazela), peta ove godine i 16. u karijeri. Ranije danas, pehare su podigli i Nenad Zimonjić i Danijel Nestor. Đoković je finale otvorio u istom, brutalnom ritmu koji je juče oduvao Rafaela Nadala sa terena, pa je posle 1:0 u setovima i 3:0 u gemovima izgledalo da francuska publika neće imati nimalo razloga za radost. Ipak, polovinom drugog dela situacija na terenu se drastično promenila, pa je srpski teniser do svog prvog Mastersa u 2009. godini morao da ide kroz tri seta, puno lepih poena, ali i grešaka sa obe strane, kao i očigledne borbe sa umorom. Meč su otvorili Novakov servis osvojen "sa nulom", demonstracija nemilosrdnog forhenda, a onda i prvi brejk, što je u paketu vrlo brzo na semafor upisalo rezultat 3:1. Đoković je cementirao prednost novim sigurnim servisom, usput kažnjavajući bukvalno svaku, makar i milimetar pliću loptu. Tada, na drugoj strani mreže nije postojao ni milimetar prostora za nekakav odgovor. Monfis je za razliku od Nadala još i grešio, pa je i on vrlo brzo širenjem ruku pokazao da protiv tako raspoloženog Novaka nema šta da traži. Đoković je duplom servis greškom rivala spakovao prvi set za nešto više od pola sata (6:2), a svoju seriju osvojenih gemova je ekspresno nastavio do pet i rezultata 3:0 u drugom setu. Međutim, tu nije bio kraj. Publika u Bersiju je konačno ovacijama ispratila nekoliko poteza Monfisa, koji je prilično neočekivano odgovorio svojom serijom od tri vezana gema i načinio finale mnogo uzbudljivijim – 3:3. Novakov period slabije igre je potrajao, a posle dva servis gema na ivici, treći je ispustio za potpuni preokret na 6:5. Monfis je ubrzo iskoristio i svoju prvu šansu da izjednači u setovima na 1:1. Na Đokovićev odgovor se čekalo još neko vreme, do drugog gema odlučujućeg seta i dve brejk lopte. Na prvoj je Novak propustio "zicer" na mreži, a onda je to nadoknadio na drugoj, posle iscrpljujuće razmene od čak 43 udarca - 2:0. Ipak, greške i oscilacije na obe strane su se nastavile, kao i serija ispuštenih servisa. Đoković je iz nje nekako izašao kao bolji zahvaljujući četiri (!) Monfisove vezane servis greške i činjenice da posle pet gemova nije dopustio Francuzu da ga napadne - 4:1 na početku trećeg sata igre. Petnaestak minuta kasnije, rezultat je bio 4:4 i bilo je sasvim jasno da sve nervozniji i umorniji Novak neće pre taj-brejka moći da reši susret. Poslednji deo uzbudljivog pariskog finala je prelomljen mini-brejkom za 4:2. To je konačno bilo dovoljno. Novak je osvojio vredan pehar Mastersa, prvi posle četiri ovogodišnja finala u seriji "hiljadarki"! Takođe, Novakov put u London gde će za šest dana započeti odbranu titule biće mnogo prijatniji... Zasluženo. Ranije danas, titulu u dublu su osvojili Nenad Zimonjić i Danijel Nestor, koji su savladali Tomija Robreda i Marsela Granoljersa sa 6:3, 6:4. Prvom dublu sveta su za prvi set bila potrebna dva brejka, dok im je posle osam razmena u drugom delu pošlo za rukom da još jednom oduzmu servis rivalima i osvoje svoju novu titulu, drugu za poslednje dve nedelje. Turnir Masters serije 1000 u Parizu se igrao za nagradni fond od 2.750.000 evra, pobednicima je pripalo 1.000 ATP poena, novčana nagrada za pobednika u singlu je 450.000 evra, a u dublu 166.500 evra.

Zimonjic Celebrates 400th Doubles Match Win ATP World Tour 2010 - Week Two by ATP Staff | 14.01.2010 Serbian Nenad Zimonjic earned his 400th doubles match win, Thursday at the Medibank International Sydney, teaming up with Daniel Nestor to defeat Christopher Kas and Dick Norman 6-2, 4-6, 10-5 in quarter-final action at the ATP World Tour 250 tennis tournament. The 33-year-old Zimonjic became the ninth active doubles player to reach the 400 match wins plateau, joining Nestor, Mark Knowles, Mike Bryan, Bob Bryan, Mahesh Bhupathi, Martin Damm, Leander Paes and Max Mirnyi. Zimonjic’s partner, Nestor, is second on the list of all-time doubles match wins leaders with a 725-281 record, trailing just Todd Woodbridge with 782 match wins. Zimonjic posted 49 match wins in each of his past two seasons, playing alongside Nestor. They won a career-best nine titles in 11 finals last year, highlighted by their title defence at Wimbledon and five ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, to finish as the No. 2 tandem. In 2008, Nestor and Zimonjic were crowned ATP World Tour Champions after clinching the winner-take-all Tennis Masters Cup final against the Bryans. Both players are past Sydney champions. Nestor claimed his pair of titles in 1999 (w/Laureau) and 2001 (w/Stolle), while Zimonjic teamed up with French veteran Fabrice Santoro to the 2006 title. In the semi-finals, the top seeds will face Igor Andreev and Evgeny Korolev, who were leading 7-5, 1-0 when their opponents, Benjamin Becker and Scott Lipsky were forced to concede with Becker suffering from an arm injury. www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2010/01/2nd-Week/Doubles2-Thursday-Zimonjic-Posts-400th-Win.aspxwww.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2010/01/2nd-Week/Doubles2-Thursday-Zimonjic-Posts-400th-Win.aspx
