Rolex Paris Masters: the tricolor pair Halys and Herbert crowned in doubles

The French Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert won the Paris Masters 1000 in doubles on Sunday thanks to their victory against the No.2 seeds, the British Neal Skupski (3rd) and the American Christian Harrison (4th).

Halys and Herbert won 7-6 (7/3), 6-7 (4/7), 10-8 against the winners of the Australian Open and the US Open in 2026.

The French pair had already impressed in the semi-finals by eliminating 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) the world number ones in the specialty, the Finnish Harri Heliovaara and the British Henry Patten, who had beaten them in the last four at Roland-Garros this year.

The two players began playing together at the Masters 1000 in Paris last year and have a record of 19 victories for seven defeats (12-6 in 2026). The French duo won their second title after the ATP 250 in Metz last year.

Trailing 3-0 from the start, Halys and Herbert managed to erase their delay and push to the tie-break, won with authority (7/3). In the second set, the two pairs were tied for a long time and had to decide again in the deciding game, this time clearly to the advantage of the British and the American.

Everything was played out in the super tie-break, led vigorously by the French duo until leading 4-1, to the loud applause of the Central public. And to win thanks to a direct error from their opponents, in just under two hours.
