  1. 3-6 - And there is the match! Zimonjic showed signs of nerves in that final game as he produced two double faults to make it 30-30 but then he clinched the match with two aces!

  2. 3-5 - And ace from Mike Bryan seals another hold to love. Nestor/Zimonjic have given up trying to break since getting their break it seems. Zimonjic now serving for the championship.

  3. 2-5 - Another hold to 15 - no signs of nerves as of yet from Nestor/Zimonjic - they move just one game away.

  4. 2-4 - Quick hold by the Bryans again but they only have two more chances to find the break that has eluded them all match.

  5. 1-4 - Zimonjic starts the game with a double fault but then they win four points in a row to move just two games away from victory.

  6. 1-3 - Bob Bryan with a hold to love - but the holds on their own are not good enough anymore - they need to find a break.

  7. 0-3 - Nestor has to save two breaks points to stay a break in front. But he finds four big serves in a row (two of them aces) to earn a hold.

  8. 0-2 - FIRST BREAK OF THE MATCH. Nestor/Zimonjic have caught fire and comes from 40-15 down to win four points in a row and break Mike Bryan's serve.

  9. 0-1 - Zimonjic starts the fourth set with hold to love and the pressure is really on the Bryan brothers now.

  10. 6-7 - They only need two though as they take the tie-break 7-3. Back in front.

  11. 6-6 - (2-6) Super pass from Nestor off a serve brings up FOUR SET POINTS.

  12. 6-6 - (2-4) Zimonjic with a great play makes it 4-2 at the changeover.

  13. 6-6 - A hold to 30 so here we go again - yet another tie-break.

  14. 6-5 - Nestor/Zimonjic get to deuece again but Mike powers another couple of good serves to secure another hold.

  15. 5-5 - Nestor hold to 15 - to the match is now two hours old and we still have had no break of serve.

  16. 5-4 - Bob Bryan with four quick bombs wraps up an easy hold.

  17. 4-4 - Zimonjic with a hold to 30. We could be heading to a third tie-break although at least there are signs of the servers are being put under pressure now.

  18. 4-3 - Nestor/Zimonjic earns their first break point of the match but a massive serve from Mark Bryan saves the point and the Americans then close out the game.

  19. 3-3 - Nestor looking the stronger server in his team - he has fired some more bombs on his way to another hold to 15.

  20. 3-2 - The Bryans not giving anything away though with a hold to love. Zimonjic has the trainer out at the moment - he has an upset stomach.

  21. 2-2 - Zimonjic digs out a very tough service game. He had to save the first break point of the match. It looked like it was going to another straightforward hold as the Serb went 40-0 in front but then he served two double faults in a row which is when the problems began.

  22. 2-1 - Another hold to love for the Bryans wrapped up with an ace.

  23. 1-1 - Nestor with yet another strong service game holds to 15. Will we have a service break at any stage in this match?? Both side look so strong on their serve.

  24. 1-0 - Zimonjic puts a volley into the net with the court at his mercy - that came at 30-30 and ruined Nestor/Zimonjic the first break point chance of the match. Bryans hold.

  25. 7-6 - Zimonjic fires a backhand into the net and the tie-break goes to the Bryans 7-3 - it is one set apiece.

  26. 6-6 - (6-3) The Bryans do a chest bump after winning a great point which included lots of great gets by both sides at the net. Three set points.

  27. 6-6 - (4-2) The Bryan brothers are a mini-break in front heading to the changeover.

  28. 6-6 - The Bryans are serving to the forehands of Nestor/Zimonjic - it has been working well for them but Nestor flukes a forehand lob which brings up the first deuce of the set. The Bryans hold firm though and we have a tie-break.

  29. 5-5 - A nice pass from Zimonjic brings up 40-30 on the Bryan serve (which represents a chance in this match) but Bob fires and ace to take the game.

  30. 4-4 - The pattern continues as both teams swap holds. Quick service games with few rallies the order of the day. Get ready for another tie-break.

  31. 3-3 - Not much to excite here because the Bryan brothers are just so on top. Second successive service game to love for the Bryans.

  32. 2-3 - Booming serving from Zimonjic - he ends a hold to 15 with an ace.

  33. 2-2 - Hold to love for the Bryans. Zimonjic missed a bad volley at the start of the game and they never recovered.

  34. 1-2 - Still no breaks but the Bryans do get to 30-30 this time helped by the first challenge of the match so far (which is successful). Are we heading towards another tie break?

  35. 1-1 - The Bryans respond with a hold to 15 themselves despite dropping the first point of the game.

  36. 0-1 - Zimonjic serves very well in the opening game of the second set to hold to 15.

  37. 6-7 - Nestor and Zimonjic take the opening set on the tie break 8-6, and they deserve it after being on top for most of the breaker. A fine serve from Zimonjic created the opening, and Bob Brian planted a backhand in the net to concede the advantage.

  38. TB6-6 - A stunning forehand volley from Mike Bryan saves a set point on the Zimonjic serve, and this tie break is now level at 6-6.

  39. 6-6 - A fine hold from Nestor, who showed all his experience in finding two body serves to cramp his opponents' space, and we are into a first set tie-break.

  40. 6-5 - Zimonjic keeps his nerve to level at 5-5 with two booming first serves down the T, and Nestor backs him up with a very good volley to close it out. Mike Brian then delivers a crunching ace outwide to allow he and his brother to keep their noses ahead.

  41. 5-4 - Nestor holds to love with real style, the Canadian finding a nice rhythm and thundering first serves out to the backhands of his opponents. Bob Bryan matches it, and we remain on terms.

  42. 4-3 - Mike Brian rattles through his service hold immaculately, holding to love and looking utterly convincing in the process.

  43. 3-3 - Zimonjic finds three first serves as he and Nestor remain on terms with their opponents. This opening set is nicely poised.

  44. 3-2 - Bob Bryan hammers a first serve down the T which his brother follows up with a crisp volley as the American pair hold serve to 15.

  45. 2-2 - Daniel Nestor holds to level the first set at 2-2 and, despite pressure from the Bryan brothers, the Canadian and his partner Zimonjic are settling well.

  46. 1-1 - Opening service holds are exchanged, with both partnerships functioning effectively to back up the serve on each occasion. The crowd has thinned out slightly on Centre Court, but there is still healthy support.

  47. 0-0 - Bob and Mike Bryan win the toss and elect to serve first in this opening set on Centre Court.

  48. - - The men's doubles final at Wimbledon sees American brothers Bob and Mike Bryan take on Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic on Centre Court.

  11. Nestor has competed for Canada in the Olympics and at­ every pro tournament he has played in. They should have­ 2 flags for them.

    From nzzj7k, on Sat 4 Jul 4:47PM

  12. nestor and zimonjic arent from canada,nestor plays for­ canada but is a serbian born player and zimonjic is a­ serb playing for serbia so instead of that canadian­ flag you should have the more appropriate serbian­ flag!!
