Bahamian wins French Open 2007 Doubles Title - Bahamas

In their penultimate Grand Slam appearance together, Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor won the men’s doubles title on Saturday. The Bahamian and Canadian beat the Czech pairing of Lukas Dlouhy and Pavel Vizner 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 to add the French Open to their 2002 Australian Open and 2004 US Open titles.

It was a case of third time lucky for Knowles and Nestor, who lost here in the 1998 and 2002 finals, both times to the Dutch pairing of Jacco Eltingh et Paul Haarhuis.
