Canada's Daniel Nestor and partner Mark Knowles of the Bahamas completed a gruelling two-day tennis marathon Sunday in London, capturing a second title in as many weeks with a victory at Queen's Club.

The French Open champions claimed their first win in more than a year over Americans Bob and Mike Bryan with a 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 victory.

The win came after Nestor, from Toronto, and Knowles completed four winning matches in less than 24 hours in the grass-court tuneup for Wimbledon.

Due to rain this week in west London, the doubles schedule got heavily backed up, with Nestor and Knowles finishing a second-round match and then winning a quarter-final on Saturday night over Britain's Tim Henman and Lleyton Hewitt of Australia.

"It all worked out very well for us, even if it was a little frustrating as the week went on without playing," said Nestor. "We had a lot of time sitting around the players' lounge.

"But once we got on court Saturday night, was played great in both matches."

On Sunday morning, the fourth seeds came back and reached the final with a 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) win against Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Max Mirnyi of Belarus.

That pitted them against arch-rival Bryans, who had won the previous six meetings between the teams.

But momentum from last weekend's Roland Garros triumph carried Nestor and Knowles to victory on the grass in a match that was over in 70 minutes.

"It may not have been a great match for the fans," said Nestor. "We all served well and there were not many returns made and not many rallies.

"That was a role reversal for us against the Bryans. Everyone was hot on serve."

The Bryans hadn't lost to Nestor and Knowles since 2006 Hamburg semifinals just over a year.

The Americans had also beaten Nestor and Knowles when they last played at Queen's in the 2004 final.

The recent success casts even more questions on the Nestor-Knowles split, originally set to take place after Wimbledon, which begins on June 25.

Nestor had planned to end the 13-year partnership at the close of the British grass-court Grand Slam, but revealed this week that he now might wait until the end of the year, if that works for his new partner Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia.

"Our sights are set on Wimbledon now," Nestor said. "This is a tough situation. We will see what happens [to the team] after that.

"It might not be the best thing to split up two of the top teams in doubles [Nestor-Knowles and Zimojic-Fabrice Santoro]."
