Clement, Grosjean Claim Doubles Title

French duo Arnaud Clement and Sebastien Grosjean captured their first ATP Masters Series shield together with a 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 victory over Zimbabwe’s Wayne Black and Kevin Ullyett in the final of the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells.

Clement and Grosjean, who stunned top seeds Bob and Mike Bryan in the second round as well as two-time champions Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor in the semifinals, were playing in their first tournament together since Lyon in 2003.

It was Clement and Grosjean’s second doubles title as a team, having won in Casablanca in 2000. Clement now has won three career doubles titles, while Grosjean has won four.

“We’ve really enjoyed playing together this week,” said Grosjean. “It was the first time we’ve played together this year. We’ve beaten the No. 1 team so we didn’t have any pressure coming into the final. We had our chances in the second set, but fought back in the third to win the match.”

Black and Ullyett were attempting to win their first ATP Masters Series shield together, having previously lost in finals in Madrid (2003) and Rome (2002). The former US Open champions last picked up a trophy in Munich on clay last year. Black was attempting to win his second title in Indian Wells, having teamed with Sandon Stolle to defeat Ellis Ferreira and Rick Leach in 1999.
