The French were off to a great start. Despite an excellent start to the group phase, Gaël Monfils and Ugo Humbert were unable to find the weapons to take the final step towards a 100% French final at the UTS.

Indeed, after two high-quality matches, it was Alex De Minaur and Holger Rune who qualified for the grand final of this Ultimate Tennis Showdown 2024 season.

Faced with a motivated Monfils, the Australian needed time to adapt before finally dominating the proceedings and winning three quarters to one (10-14, 14-11, 15-8, 14-6).

For his part, Holger Rune, in a very balanced duel, made the difference when it mattered, disposing of Ugo Humbert without losing a quarter (15-11, 13-12, 15-11).

So it's 'The Demon' and 'The Viking' who will battle it out for the final crown.
