LONDON -- Canada's Daniel Nestor and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus won the ATP World Tour Finals doubles title on Sunday .
The pair won the ATP World Tour Finals doubles title on Sunday with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Poland's Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski.
Nestor, from Toronto, and Mirnyi only slipped up once in the match. They went down a break in the third game of the opening set on Mirnyi's serve but got it back a game later.
Nestor smashed an overhead to set up two points, with Mirnyi returning the ball to their opponent's feet to earn the set.
Mirnyi and Nestor broke 4-2 in the second set as they built momentum. Nestor set up three match points with a serve winner that left Fyrstenberg and Matkowski swinging at air.
A point later, Mirnyi smashed home the match-winner.
Nestor has won the ATP World Tour doubles title four times. He claimed the season-ending trophy with Mark Knowles in 2007 and Nenad Zimonjic in 2008 and 2010.
It is Nestor's 75th doubles title.
Nestor's team swept the week with five victories and foreshadowed the win over Fyrstenberg and Matkowski with a group victory against the No. 8-ranked Europeans.
Nestor and Mirnyi also beat the pair in an Australian Open quarter-final in January.
The title was the second for Mirnyi, who won the ATP World Tour Finals in 2006 with Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman.
