Daniel Nestor

Biography
Daniel Nestor (born September 4, 1972 in Belgrade, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Canadian former professional tennis player. He reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 58 on August 23, 1999 and a career-high ATP doubles ranking of No. 1 on August 19, 2002.

Nestor became the world No. 1 ranked doubles player in the world for the first time on August 19, 2002 and the last time on August 27, 2012, for a total of 108 weeks. Over his career spanning almost 30 years, he has won 91 men's doubles titles (with 11 different partners), including a Gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics, four ATP World Tour Finals, and eight Grand Slam men's doubles titles attained with three different partners. In addition, Nestor has won four Grand Slam mixed doubles titles : the 2007 Australian Open with Elena Likhovtseva, the 2011 Australian Open with Katarina Srebotnik, and the 2013 Wimbledon and 2014 Australian Open with Kristina Mladenovic. His 91 men's doubles titles make him the third most decorated champion among doubles players and he is currently 10th for most men's ATP titles in Open Era history. He was the first player in doubles tennis history to win every Grand Slam and Masters Series event, the Year-End Championships and Olympic gold medal at least once in his career, an achievement that has since been matched by the Bryan brothers. In 2013, Nestor became the first player in ATP history to score 900 career doubles wins. In January 2016, Nestor became the first doubles player in ATP history to win 1000 matches. Also in 2016, Nestor and Radek Štěpánek became the oldest team to reach a Grand Slam men's doubles final at the Australian Open, losing in three sets to Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares. From 1994 to 2016, he had a streak of 23 consecutive years with at least one men's doubles title. He was continuously ranked in the top 100 in doubles from April 1994 to April 2018, a total of 1134 consecutive weeks. He was named ATP Doubles Team of the Year in 2002 and 2004 (with Mark Knowles) and 2008 (with Nenad Zimonjić), and the ITF World Champion in doubles in 2002 (with Knowles) and in 2008 (with Zimonjić). Nestor was also named Tennis Canada male player of the year ten times (1997, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) and received the Davis Cup Commitment Award in 2012. He retired in September 2018 after the Davis Cup.

Nestor's Serbian parents moved to Canada short of his fourth birthday in 1976 and settled in Toronto, where he attended Earl Haig Secondary School for a special sports program known as APGA (Academic Program for Gifted Athletes). In July 2005, Nestor married Nataša Gavrilović, his girlfriend of two years. They welcomed their first daughter, Tiana Alexis, on December 15, 2008, only two weeks after his doubles partner Zimonjić and his wife had twins. Their second daughter, Bianca Willow, was born on March 2, 2013. The couple now resides in the Bahamas with their two children. Nestor was appointed to the Order of Canada in November 2010. In 2011, he received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame and was inducted on October 1 at Elgin Theatre in Toronto. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by York University in August 2012. Nestor was inducted into the Canadian Tennis Hall of Fame in August 2018.
