Hubert Hurkacz of Poland and Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada won their first team title at the Rolex Paris Masters in Paris on Sunday. The Rolex Paris Masters is the ninth and final ATP Masters event of the season.

The unseeded pair defeated Mate Pavic of Croatia and Bruno Soares of Brazil 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (9-7), 10-2 in one hour and 52 minutes.

On the path to their Sunday victory, Hurkacz and Auger-Aliassime defeated three experienced pairs, including no 1 seeded Robert Farah of Colombia and Horacio Zeballos of Argentine, John Peers of Australia and Michael Venus of New Zealand.
