My Take

Édouard Roger-Vasselin earns my admiration for fully committing to doubles, a discipline too often treated as a consolation prize. Winning the 2014 French Open men's doubles with Julien Benneteau and the 2024 mixed title with Laura Siegemund, decades apart, shows a player who mastered the subtle craft of partnership rather than chasing singles stardom. At 188 cm, he turned reach and tennis IQ into a long, productive career. Watching him work, I've come to appreciate doubles as its own art form. This Gennevilliers product is, to my eyes, a connoisseur's favorite.
