Nestor nails big career win

Canada's Daniel Nestor hit a milestone on the ATP Tour on Monday by earning the 1,000 match victory of his pro career.

Nestor, along with partner Marcelo Melo of Brazil, beat France's Jeremy Chardy and India's Leander Paes 6-4, 6-4 in men's doubles action at the Apia International Sydney to reach the mark.

The 43-year-old Nestor, who turned pro in 1991, has won 88 men's doubles titles on the ATP Tour and a gold medal for Canada at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

Nestor won the Apia International Sydney tournament in 2015 for the fifth time, giving him at least one men's doubles title per year for 22 straight years.
