Watch Highlights: Mahut/Herbert Reach Roland Garros Final

Spoiler:

Frenchmen looking to win third Grand Slam title
While Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut had reached the championship match at the three other Grand Slam tournaments, they had not enjoyed much success together at their home major – until this year.
The Frenchmen, who had bowed out in the Round of 16 in 2015-16 and in their 2017 opener, moved within one win of the Roland Garros title with their 6-3, 6-4 semi-final victory over No. 8 seed Nikola Mektic and Alexander Peya on Thursday. Mektic and Peya had claimed the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title last month at the Mutua Madrid Open, and were attempting to reach their fourth final of the clay-court swing.
The sixth seeds now await the winner between No. 2 seeds Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic, the reigning Australian Open champions, and No. 12 seeds Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez, the 2016 Roland Garros champions. Marach/Pavic and Lopez/Lopez face off in semi-final action Friday afternoon.
Herbert and Mahut will be looking to win their third Grand Slam title, following triumphs at the 2015 US Open and at Wimbledon in 2016. They were also runners-up at the 2015 Australian Open (l. to Bolelli/Fognini).

Only two other French tandems have won the Roland Garros men’s doubles crown in the Open Era: Henri Leconte and Yannick Noah in 1984 and Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin in 2014.
Mahut, 36, came close to winning the Roland Garros title in 2013 alongside countryman Michael Llodra. The pair lost a heartbreaker against top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, leading 4-2 in the decisive tie-break before the Bryans came back to win 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(4).

Mahut/Herbert Make French History

Spoiler:

Frenchmen win first Roland Garros title
Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut became just the third all-French team in the Open Era to win Roland Garros, defeating Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic 6-2, 7-6(4) on Saturday.

"Roland Garros is "the" tournament. When you're a French guy, you want to win it. You dream of winning such a tournament," Herbert said. "We were more thinking about the singles tournament. But winning the doubles title, it's as important. And winning at home, there is nothing better in terms of feelings."

Herbert and Mahut join Henri Leconte/Yannick Noah (1984) and Julien Benneteau/Edouard Roger-Vasselin (2014), saving six of seven break points in their one-hour, 40-minute victory. The duo is the first French team to win three or more major titles together in the Open Era. Herbert and Mahut, who also won the 2015 US Open and 2016 Wimbledon, defeated the ATP Doubles Race To London leaders for the third time in as many FedEx ATP Head2Head meetings.

Five years ago, Mahut, partnering Michael Llodra, led Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan 4/2 in a third-set tie-break in the Roland Garros final, but fell short. That made this victory even sweeter.

"It had been really painful in 2013, because I thought it was my only chance of winning Roland Garros. Thanks to Pierre-Hugues, we are here five years after. I'm smiling, and I can tell you there is a real difference between losing in the finals and winning a final," Mahut said. "We are in front of you trying to explain what we are feeling, but it's almost too late. The emotion is difficult to tell. What we lived, we won the match point, and the two, three minutes afterwards, when we try to explain it, it's already too late. It's almost indescribable. It's just utter happiness."

Herbert

It is their 12th tour-level doubles triumph together — Herbert has been victorious 13 times and Mahut has lifted 22 trophies. As a result of triumphing with Herbert, Mahut, on his 18th attempt, broke Mark Woodforde’s Open Era record for most Roland Garros appearances (14) before lifting the title.

Marach and Pavic were bidding to win their second Grand Slam title of the season, after clinching their maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. The Austrian-Croatian tandem was also aiming to join Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan as the only team in the Open Era to win the first two Grand Slam events of the season.

The sixth-seeded Frenchmen started brightly in front of a partisan crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier, securing a one-set lead after 43 minutes with breaks in the first and seventh games of the match. Both teams held serve with relative ease in the opening six games of the second set, before the Herbert and Mahut moved 4-3 ahead after a double fault from Marach.

But, two games from victory, nerves kicked in for the the French duo. Mahut held two game points to secure a 5-3 lead, but couldn't take advantage as Marach and Pavic capitalised on a Herbert error at net. Three games later, at 5-6, Herbert and Mahut were forced to save four set points, with a mix of strong serving and pressure at net, before reaching a tie-break.

The Frenchmen started strongly, securing three mini-breaks in their first four return points with aggressive play, before converting their first championship point with a well-timed serve-and-volley play by Herbert.

Herbert and Mahut receive 2,000 ATP Doubles Ranking points and share €560,000 in prize money for lifting the trophy. Marach and Pavic gain 1,200 ATP Doubles Ranking points and will split €280,000.

More than anything else, the pair was thrilled to capture the glory in front of the French fans.

"It was a beautiful surprise playing on the central court. I don't know if it was almost full or what, but we had a feeling that they were really present," Mahut said. "We were hearing "Allez les Bleus" and "La Marseillaise" at the end. These are things I will never forget."

Did You Know?
Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut ended Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic's 17-match campaign-starting winning streak. Marach and Pavic won titles at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, the ASB Classic and the Australian Open, before falling to the French duo in the ABN Amro World Tennis Tournament final.

Roland Garros: radość gospodarzy. Pierre-Hugues Herbert i Nicolas Mahut mistrzami turnieju debla

Spoiler:

Pierre-Hugues Herbert i Nicolas Mahut zostali pierwszą francuską parą w finale Rolanda Garrosa od 2014 roku, gdy po tytuł w Paryżu sięgnęli Julien Benneteau i Edouard Roger-Vasselin. W sobotnim meczu reprezentanci gospodarzy zmierzyli się z najlepszym duetem sezonu 2018, rozstawionymi z numerem drugim Oliverem Marachem z Austrii i Chorwatem Mate Paviciem.
Miejscowa publiczność, która wypełniła trybuny kortu im. Philippe'a Chatriera, od początku ciepło wspierała swoich tenisistów. A ci odwdzięczyli się świetną grą. Herbert i Mahut rozpoczęli mecz od przełamania i wyjścia na prowadzenie 2:0. W siódmym gemie podwoili przewagę, znów odbierając podanie Austriakowi, i wygrali pierwszego seta 6:2.

Druga partia, jak pierwsza, zaczęła się od straty serwisu Maracha, który oddał podanie podwójnym błędem. Ale tym razem Austriak i jego partner zdołali odrobić stratę. Co więcej, w 12. gemie przy serwisie Mahuta mieli nawet cztery setbole, ale żadnego nie zdołali wykorzystać.

O losach drugiej odsłony decydować musiał tie break. W nim Francuzi dominowali na korcie. Wyszli na prowadzenie 5-2, a przy stanie 6-4 mieli dwa meczbole. Wykorzystali już pierwszą szansę, za sprawą Herberta, który posłał świetny serwis, a następnie zakończył wymianę wolejem.

Herbert i Mahut zostali trzecią w dziejach zawodowego tenisa francuską parą, która wygrała Rolanda Garrosa, po Benneteau i Rogerze-Vasselinie oraz Henrim Leconcie i Yannicku Noahu - mistrzach z 1984. Zdobyli zarazem swój trzeci wielkoszlemowy tytuł (w 2015 roku zwyciężyli w US Open, a sezon później w Australian Open).

Z kolei dla Maracha i Pavicia to druga porażka w trzecim wspólnym wielkoszlemowym finale. W ubiegłorocznym Wimbledonie przegrali mecz o tytuł z parą Łukasz Kubot / Marcelo Melo, natomiast w styczniu okazali się najlepsi w Australian Open, w ostatnim pojedynku pokonując duet Juan Sebastian Cabal / Robert Farah.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert
Qualifier Nishioka saves two match points to beat Shapovalov

Pierre-Hugues Herbert recorded his biggest match win for 16 months on Wednesday for a place in the Shenzhen Open quarter-finals. The Frenchman proved to be too strong for second-seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6(4) in one hour and 41 minutes. Herbert knocked out No. 13-ranked Lucas Pouille in May 2017 at the Mutua Madrid Open first round.

World No. 15 Tsitsipas, who is in the running to qualify for the Next Gen ATP Finals at Milan in November, has now lost four of his past five matches since advancing to the Rogers Cup final (l. to Nadal) on 12 August.

Herbert next faces Spain’s Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who edged past Viktor Troicki of Serbia 7-6(4), 4-6, 7-6(3) in two hours and 37 minutes.

Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka recovered from 0-3 down in the third set and saved two match points at 4-5, 15/40 for a 7-6(5), 3-6, 7-5 victory over sixth seed Denis Shapovalov, the 19-year-old #NextGenATP Canadian, who is in third position in the ATP Race To Milan. Qualifier Nishioka awaits the winner of third-seeded Croatian Borna Coric or Briton Cameron Norrie.

Herbert Saves 2 MP In Shenzhen Thriller

Spoiler:

Frenchman reaches second ATP World Tour final

Don't call Pierre-Hugues Herbert a doubles specialist. This week, the Frenchman is finding his form on the singles court, surging into the Shenzhen Open final in dramatic fashion.

On Saturday, Herbert upset seventh seed Alex de Minaur 7-5, 2-6, 7-6(8), saving two match points in a gripping third-set tie-break. The 27-year-old moved into the championship after two hours and 34 minutes, improving to 3-1 in deciding tie-breaks this year.

It will be the second ATP World Tour final for Herbert, who previously finished runner-up to Kevin Anderson at the 2015 Winston-Salem Open. He will face Yoshihito Nishioka in Sunday's title match.

"I'm really happy and proud of myself to be in the final," said Herbert. "It was a really tough match today against Alex, who I played in Wimbledon and that was a big fight too. I'm happy to be through to my second ATP final. My plan is to rest and have a good night and be ready for tomorrow. It's my dream to lift the trophy.

"Against Alex, you feel like you have to win the point four times. He has wheels and he's running so fast. He almost got to the last one, where I thought he had no chance. It was an amazing match point and it's one you remember for a long time."

Herbert outdueled one of the ATP World Tour's most determined warriors to reach the final. De Minaur refused to yield an inch from the baseline, but the Frenchman was up to the task. After conceding the opening set, the #NextGenATP Aussie seized the momentum in the second, keeping the rallies short and not allowing Herbert to navigate to the net.

And once again his dogged defence was on display in the decider, as De Minaur stormed back from an 0-3 deficit to force a tie-break. But Herbert would match his opponent from the baseline, saving match points at 6/5 and 7/6 as the drama boiled over on Center Court. A De Minaur running forehand clipped the tape, forcing a net-charging Herbert to put away an awkward volley. And he would deny the second match point with an overhead smash.

Herbert sealed the victory on a second match point of his own, firing his 42nd winner to book a spot in the final. A 13-time doubles champion at the tour-level, including three Grand Slam crowns and six ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, Herbert is seeking his maiden moment in singles. Earlier in the week, he earned his first Top 20 win of the year in stunning World No. 15 Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets, before rallying from a set down to defeat Albert Ramos-Vinolas on Friday.

De Minaur, who entered the match with a 3-0 record in deciding tie-breaks on the ATP World Tour, was bidding to appear in his third final of the year. The Aussie teen remains in fourth place in the ATP Race To Milan and will hope to continue his push towards a Next Gen ATP Finals berth at next week's stop in Tokyo.

ATP Chengdu: Fabio Fognini zatrzymał Taylora Fritza. Bernard Tomic po 2,5 roku w finale

Fernando Verdasco nie poszedł za ciosem po wyeliminowaniu w ćwierćfinale Andy'ego Murraya. Rozstawiony z numerem piątym Hiszpan, najwyżej klasyfikowany tenisista, jaki doszedł do półfinału turnieju ATP w Shenzhen, nie zdołał awansować do finału. W sobotnim pojedynku 1/2 finału Verdasco po 140-minutowej walce przegrał 6:1, 3:6, 6:7(5) z kwalifikantem Yoshihito Nishioką.

Dla 22-letniego Japończyka, który w sobotnim starciu zaserwował jednego asa, trzykrotnie został przełamany, wykorzystał cztery z sześciu break pointów i łącznie zdobył 94 punkty, o cztery więcej od rywala, to pierwszy w karierze awans do finału turnieju rangi ATP World Tour.

REKLAMA

Drugi półfinał także był długi i dramatyczny, również zakończył się tie breakiem decydującego seta oraz porażką rozstawionego tenisisty. Pierre-Hugues Herbert po dwóch godzinach i 34 minutach pokonał 7:5, 2:6, 7:6(8) Alexa de Minaura, turniejową "siódemkę", w dodatkowej rozgrywce trzeciej partii broniąc dwóch piłek meczowych.

- Grając przeciw Alexowi, czujesz się, jakbyś każdy punkt musiał wygrywać cztery razy. On porusza się jak na kołach i jest niesamowicie szybki. To był niesamowity mecz i myślę, że zapamiętam go na bardzo długo. Jestem naprawdę szczęśliwy i dumny, że awansowałem do finału - powiedział Francuz, który drugi raz wystąpi w singlowym finale turnieju głównego cyklu. W sierpniu 2015 roku w meczu o tytuł w Winston-Salem uległ Kevinowi Andersonowi.

Niedzielny finał (początek o godz. 11:00 czasu polskiego) będzie pierwszą oficjalną konfrontacją pomiędzy Nishioką a Herbertem. Obaj zmierzyli się jednak w 2013 roku w challengerze w Jokohamie. Wówczas Francuz wygrał 6:3, 6:2.
