Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul captured their sixth ATP Tour title — and first of 2026 — on Sunday at the Tiriac Open presented by UniCredit Bank in Bucharest.
The top-seeded Frenchmen downed Adam Pavlasek and Patrik Rikl 6-1, 6-4 in the final to complete a spotless week at the clay-court ATP 250 event, where they did not drop a set. It marks the pair’s second title in Bucharest after also triumphing in the Romanian capital in 2024.
“It was amazing. We had such a great time,” Doumbia said of the week. “We love it here and we are so happy to win our second title here in Bucharest. We had big expectations for the clay season. We know it’s our best court, so hopefully we do good at the Masters 1000s and Roland Garros, which is our home tournament.”
With their run in Bucharest, Doumbia and Reboul are up three spots to seventh in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings, aiming to make their team debut at the Nitto ATP Finals.
The Frenchmen will now head to the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, where they open against Austrians Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler, who lead the Lexus ATP Head2Head series between the two teams 2-1.
“We play two Austrian guys, two friends of ours, so it will be a big match,” Reboul said, previewing their Monte-Carlo opener. “It’s always nice to go with confidence, but we have to start again. It’s another great tournament and we will enjoy it.”
