BASEL, Switzerland - Canadas Vasek Pospisil partnered with Serbias Nenad Zimonjic to win the doubles title on Sunday at the Swiss Indoors.First-time combination Pospisil and Zimonjic, a 38-year-old Serb veteran whose second partnership with Torontos Daniel Nestor was ended recently, defeated Finn Henri Kontinen and Marin Draganja of Croatia 7-6 (13), 1-6, 10-5 for the trophy.Pospisil, form Vancouver, added the indoor crown to two more titles this season with American Jack Sock. That pair will resume their partnerships next week in Paris as they fight for a qualifying place in the World Tour Finals in London next month.Pospisil owns titles in 2014 with Sock from Wimbledon and Atlanta. The pair were beaten in the finals in Cincinnati and Beijing.Nenad and I knew we could both play well together, we found out we clicked, Pospisil said. We play well together and have great energy.We both serve well also. This was a great week for us.The second seeds needed an hour to win a marathon first set, saving five set points and finally taking the opener on a fourth set point of their own.The second set flew by in 18 minutes as Kontinen and Draganja levelled to send the contest into a tiebreak.When you have such a close first set with a long tiebreaker, the next set is always tougher, Pospisil said. We had a bit of a letdown but at the same time they relaxed after losing the first set.They played some great return games and we went down fast in the second set.Pospisil and Zimonjic dominated the tiebreak for their first win as a team.We didnt panic, at one set all it was a fresh match for us, Pospisil said.We had a tough draw, tough competition. But we managed to get through this week. Its always difficult when you play for the first time with someone.Im not that surprised at how we did this week. I had a good partner and Ive been playing good doubles the last few months. We knew we could be a tough team and that proved to be true.Zimonjic was making his fifth finals appearance in his last five visits to Basel. He and Nestor won the title in 2009 and 2012.

New team co-owner Marc Lasry indicated Monday that it is down to either Dukes Jabari Parker or Kansas Andrew Wiggins when the Bucks make the second overall selection in the draft Thursday night. Foot surgery for centre prospect Joel Embiid last week seems to have knocked Wiggins teammate with the Jayhawks out of the Bucks plans. With new ownership taking over a franchise that had a league-worst 15-67 record, Milwaukee is looking for immediate help. "I think its hard to take Embiid," Lasry said Monday at a joint breakfast meeting of the regions Rotary Club and the Milwaukee Press Club. "I think hes a phenomenal individual, but with the injury and not knowing how severe or long it will take to recover, I think for us today were going to want somebody whos going to help us on Day One." New York investment firm executives Lasry and Wesley Edens bought the Bucks this spring for $550 million from former U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl. According to Lasry, Edens watched Wiggins work out recently. If they need a reference on Parker, the Bucks can just go across town to talk with new Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski, who worked with Parker when he was a Blue Devils assistant. "A lot is going to be dependent on what Cleveland does," Lasry said. "But I would tell you right now its probbably either going to be .dddddddddddd.. one of the other." This will be a pivotal pick for a franchise in transition. Lasry envisions building a championship-contending team within five years. At the same time, the new ownership group could also be seeking public financing to help build a new arena to replace the BMO Harris Bradley Center, though its unclear yet how much funding they might seek. The new owners have estimated that it could take $350-$400 million for a new arena. Lasry and Edens have committed $100 million, and Kohl has committed another $100 million. Lasry said Monday he hoped to find other people to help come up with the difference and would welcome public support. New potential minority investors in the Bucks could also be announced by July 15. Lasry said he hoped to add local partners. Lasry spoke of building a foundation of young players over the next two or three seasons that would help attract free agents. Among the more promising current young Bucks are guards Brandon Knight (17.9 points) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (6.8 points), and power forward John Henson (11.1 points, 7.1 rebounds). "Nobodys coming to Milwaukee if the team does what it did last year," said Lasry, who added that the payroll would increase. Lasry also said that the team would soon announce the hiring of a chief financial officer, and would be hiring a team president. ' ' '
