Known for his deft touch, expert volleying and split-second improvisational skills leading to jaw-dropping shots, Daniel Nestor has won multiple titles over the span of his career, including 73 ATP Tour doubles titles, of which seven were Grand Slam events, two mixed doubles Grand Slam titles and three Tennis Masters Cup doubles titles.
Nestor also represented Canada at the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games, bringing home gold at the Sydney Olympic Games. He is the only player in tennis history to win all four Grand Slams, all of the Masters Series events, the year-end Masters Cup and an Olympic gold medal in doubles. He has been a member of the Canadian Davis Cup team since 1992 and won his first doubles title way back in 1994. He was ranked #1 in the world in 2002, 2004 and 2008, and recorded his 800th career victory at the 2011 French Open, taking home the doubles title for the second consecutive year.
Nestor was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2010.
Since 2003, the Daniel Nestor Celebrity Charity Event has raised more than $700,000 for North York General Hospital in Toronto and Tennis Canada Go for Gold Fund charities.
