PARIS -- Canada's Daniel Nestor has done it again at Roland Garros.
The Toronto native and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus downed Colombia's Juan Sebastian Cabal and Argentina's Eduardo Schwank 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-4 on Saturday to win the doubles title at the French Open.
Nestor also won the doubles in Paris a year ago alongside former partner Nenad Zimonjic before the pair split at the end of 2010.
The player with the most match victories on the ATP after winning his 800th in the first round last week, Nestor lifted the 2007 trophy with longtime partner Mark Knowles and lost final with Knowles in 1998, 2002 and 2008.
The victory marks the first Grand Slam title for Nestor and Mirnyi.
It was also Nestor's seventh major title in men's doubles and Mirnyi's fifth, all with different partners.
Cabal and Schwank were playing in their first tournament together. Cabal was making his Grand Slam debut while Schwank had already reached the Wimbledon and U.S. Open semifinals.
