Fourteen years later, the double French is again sacred to the tennis Masters tournament. The Blues Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut went on to clinch their very first Masters win, dominating in the finals New Zealander Michael Venus and South African Raven Klaasen (6-3, 6-4).
Bravo @nmahut and @ p2hugz winners of the Masters, the only big title of the circuit that was missing in their magnificent prize list! https://t.co/coqipnJoo1
FFT (@FFTennis) November 17, 2019The unblinking conclusion of an absolutely perfect week for the two team-mates, who have not lost a single set, a first since the perfect course of the pair Mirnyi / Nestor in 2011. Herbert and Mahut, who had failed a Hair last season at the same stadium - they had even missed a match - perform a feat that French tennis had not known since 2005, with the coronation of Llodra and Santoro.
A further achievement for the duo, who had already become the eighth in history to have won at least once the four Grand Slam tournaments, winning in Australia at the beginning of the year.
