Nicolas Mahut had a surprise guest after he and doubles partner Pierre Hugues-Herbert won the Roland Garros title on Saturday: his son!
His six-year-old Son Natanel raced out onto Court Philippe-Chatrier to join the pair’s victory celebration, creating one of the most memorable moments of the tournaments for Les Bleus.
Mahut and Herbert captured their third Grand Slam title and became just the third all-French men’s doubles pairing to win Roland Garros with a 6-2, 7-6(4) victory over Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic. Herbert and Mahut become the first all-French team to win three major titles in the Open era with the victory, and improved to 3-0 lifetime against Pavic and Marach.
The scene was already charged with electricity before Mahut’s son joined the celebration, and it got even better after that.
