Talking Doubles Tennis with Daniel; we dive into what it takes to be one of the greatest doubles players in the history of the game. What makes a player great; how do you pick your partners, and how is mixed doubles different from doubles? Enjoy:) Uros BIO: Daniel Nestor is a Canadian retired professional tennis player. He is one of the foremost doubles players in tennis history due to his longevity and continued success at the top of the men's game. As of March 2018, he is 10th for most men's ATP titles in Open Era history . In January 2016, Nestor became the first doubles player in ATP history to win 1000 matches. He was continuously ranked in the top 100 in doubles from April 1994 to April 2018, a total of 1134 consecutive weeks. He 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 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. 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 . He was named ATP Doubles Team of the Year in 2002 and 2004 (with Mark Knowles ) and 2008 (with Nenad Zimonjić ). He became the world No. 1 ranked doubles player in the world in August 2002. Nestor's career-high singles ranking was world No. 58, which he reached in August 1999.
