Men's doubles final set at Wimbledon

---

Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Canada's Daniel Nestor and Serbian Nenad Zimonjic reached Saturday's men's doubles final at Wimbledon.

The second-seeded tandem of Nestor-Zimonjic outlasted a ninth-seeded pairing of Czech Lukas Dlouhy and Indian Leander Paes, over two days, 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 6-1, 4-6, 8-6. The match was suspended because of darkness here on Thursday, with Nestor-Ziminjic leading two-sets-to-one and tied at 3-3 in the fourth set.

Saturday's final will pit Nestor and Zimonjic against an eighth-seeded duo of Swede Jonas Bjorkman and Zimbabwe's Kevin Ullyett, who toppled the top-seeded American twin Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, in four sets here on Thursday.

Nestor and Zimonjic were the French Open runners-up last month.

Saturday's winning doubles team will split $450,000.
