French wildcards Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert won the doubles title at the Rolex Paris Masters, beating Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski 7-6(7-3), 6-7(4-7), 10-8 in a final that lasted one hour and 50 minutes in Paris.

The home pair, playing in front of a delighted Paris crowd, took the opening set on a tie-break before Harrison and Skupski hit back to level the match in a second-set tie-break. The French duo then held their nerve in the deciding match tie-break, winning it 10-8 to complete a dream week as wildcards.

It was a remarkable run for Halys and Herbert, who had already upset top seeds and defending champions Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten 6-4, 7-6(3) in the semi-finals. Herbert was playing his fourth final at the Paris Masters, and the title is the pair's first Masters 1000 trophy together.

For Harrison and Skupski, the defeat was a painful end to a strong week. The second seeds had reached the final by beating Lucas Miedler and Neil Oberleitner 6-4, 6-4 in the semi-finals, ending the Austrian pair's seven-match winning streak, and they were chasing a first Masters 1000 title in their first season as a partnership after winning the Australian Open and the US Open together in 2026.

The result also settled the year-end rankings race: with Harrison and Skupski beaten in the final, Heliovaara and Patten claimed the year-end No. 1 ranking as a team. The official tournament site confirmed Halys and Herbert as 2026 champions after their victory in the final.
