Mahut/Herbert Win Home Masters 1000 Title
Pierre-Hugues Herbert/Nicolas Mahut won their seventh ATP Masters 1000 team doubles title on Sunday, and it might already be their favourite. The Frenchmen celebrated their first Rolex Paris Masters crown by beating Russians Karen Khachanov/Andrey Rublev 6-4, 6-1.
The Frenchmen broke in the 10th game of the opener and rolled in the second set, breaking twice. They fended off all four break points faced for the match to win their 14th title as a team.
Herbert/Mahut became the eighth doubles team to win all four major championships in January at the Australian Open. They will receive 1,000 ATP Doubles Rankings points and split €995,720 in prize money. The Frenchmen will compete at next week's Nitto ATP Finals, to be held 10-17 November at The O2 in London.
Khachanov/Rublev were playing in their second Masters 1000 doubles final as a team (2018 Miami, l. to Bryan/Bryan). They will receive 600 ATP Doubles Rankings points and split €503,730 in prize money.
