Herbert & Mahut after winning the ATP Finals: "It’s a nice way to finish the season”

Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut dominated the end of the year when they did not lose a set in 9 consecutive matches.

Herbert & Mahut won 2 titles at the end of the year. First, they dominated at Paris Masters, to secure the spot at the ATP Finals.

“We had a great week in Bercy and we really played well in the group stage,” said Mahut. “The final was maybe the best match we played during the week. It is fantastic to finish with this high-quality tennis.”

At the ATP Finals in London, they did not lose a set again, when they dominated in Max Mirnyi group. In the semifinals, they defeated Kubot & Melo and in the final, they secured the title with a victory over Klaasen & Venus.

“It is pretty special [to win this trophy]. Maybe, for doubles, it is one of the toughest tournaments to win,” said Herbert. “After our story in London — we had three really tough years and last year we had a match point in the final — being able to win here is an amazing feeling.”

"We won the Max Mirnyi group and today we won the final in front of you, Max, so it is a priviledge," said Mahut. "You are such a legend and we are really happy to win in front of you. Thank you, Max, for coming."

“It’s an amazing feeling. Last year was a little bit painful,” Mahut admitted. “The first goal was to qualify and the second goal was to go through to the end. We played an amazing week and the final was our best match. It’s a privilege. We had a tough year, but we came back stronger, so it’s a nice way to finish the season.”
