Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul qualified this Saturday for the first Masters 1000 final of their careers in Rome.
They achieved this by defeating the pair Heliovaara/Patten, the Australian Open champions in January and the tournament’s No. 2 seeds, with a score of 7-6, 6-4. Following this resounding feat for the two Frenchmen, they decided to celebrate by taking off their shirts even before shaking hands (see video below).
