Daniel Nestor Received Honor From Canadian University   |

Canadian doubles king Daniel Nestor has dipped his toes into academia, with the 39-year-old receiving an honorary degree from a Toronto university during his home ATP event. As it turns out, the school is located just a few steps from the tournament venue, meaning little disruption to his training schedule.

Nestor looked well out of his element wearing a jacket, tie and mortarboard as he received his Doctor of Laws gong. He is set for some ribbing at home from wife Natasha, an actual graduate as compared to her husband who has spent his life making millions in the school of hard knocks.

“Natasha graduated from York and she’s a bit jealous,” he confessed. “She had to spend four years studying while I can get an honorary degree just for being a good tennis player. But I really appreciate this.”

Nestor and London Olympic gold-medal partner max Mirnyi of Belarus are competing this week in Toronto. But the Canadian was unsure if he would have a partner after Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka beat Andy Murray and Laura Robson for the mixed medal.

“I though he was going to send a note saying that he had to go home and celebrate,” joked Nestor, who added that he’s even more annoyed that he didn’t win as medal as he has been told they are 33 percent bigger now than when he and fellow Canadian Sebastien Lareau won Sydney gold in 2000.
