Nicolas Mahut

Nicolas Mahut was a classic French serve-volleyer whose best tennis came in doubles. With Pierre-Hugues Herbert he completed a career Grand Slam in men's doubles in 2019 and won the ATP Finals twice, built on quick exchanges at the net. Outside doubles he is remembered for losing the longest match in tennis history, an 11-hour first-round match at Wimbledon in 2010 against John Isner. He retired after the 2025 Paris Masters, aged 43.
