Tennis : the first fruit of passion.

After a shaky honeymoon, newlyweds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic are happy to announce their first double title, at the Saint-Petersburg Open.

Both players had already experienced the good fortunes of the Russian Venice, though with different mates : Nestor in 2001 with Zimbabwean Kevin Ullyet, Zimonjic in 2003, with Austrian Julian Knowle, not to be mistaken for Bahamian Mark Knowles, Nestor’s long time partner with whom he won 39 tournaments.

A recently terminated exception in a world where double couples last the time of Hollywood marriages.

The recomposed couple is now playing in another city of romance : Paris. Will love triumph again ? (P.M.)
