Paes and Nestor, both aged 40, were playing together for just the second time in their careers.
Nestor and Paes edged their unseeded opponents in one hour and 33 minutes. They lost just one set all week. Their quarter-final win over Paul Hanley and John Peers saw Nestor become the first doubles player to reach the 900 match wins milestone (902-358 match record).
