After concluding the ATP Tour season by winning the Nitto ATP Finals, Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut
have yet another reason for celebration. The Frenchmen have been voted
as the Fans’ Favourite doubles team in the 2021 ATP Awards. Winning the award is a touching experience for the players and on winning it, Mahut said:
"Just want to thank all of you who voted for us. Winning on the court is a personal accomplishment, but receiving the Fans’ Favourite Award is a different kind of pride. Pierre-Hugues and I are very touched and hope to share some great moments next year together and with you. Thanks again and see you next year.”
Herbert added:
"It’s the first time we've won this award. We had an amazing year and we’re so happy and so proud about it. We hope to be back next year, enjoying on the court and on the ATP Tour.”
