Daniel Nestor completed the full set of Grand Slam titles as he and Nenad Zimonjic claimed the Wimbledon men's doubles title.

Canadian Nestor and his Serbian partner denied Jonas Bjorkman a perfect end to his SW19 career, by winning in four sets.

Swedish veteran Bjorkman and Kevin Ullyett fought back from a set down to level the match but eventually slipped to a 7-6 (14/12) 6-7 (3/7) 6-3 6-3 defeat against the second seeds.

Serve dominated the first two sets with neither pairing able to break. Subsequently the two tie-breaks were shared.

Nestor and Zimonjic took control of the match by securing the first break of serve - against Bjorkman - in the fourth game of the third set.

Bjorkman and Ullyett had a chance to break back as Nestor served for the set but were unable to take it and that left them with an uphill task.

They were unable to fight back a second time.

Ullyett was broken twice in the fourth set with Zimonjic, arguably the best player in the final, sealing victory with a superb backhand crosscourt return.

He had twice been a losing finalist in the Wimbledon final - in 2004 and 2006 - so it was a case of third time lucky for him.

The winning pair had beaten Britain's Jamie Murray and his partner Max Mirnyi in straight sets in the third round.
