Theo Arribage and Albano Olivetti continued the fruitful start to their partnership on Sunday by claiming an ATP 250 title on home soil at the Open Occitanie.
The fourth-seeded home favourites defeated third seeds Constantin Frantzen and Robin Haase 7-6(6), 6-1 to lift the trophy on the indoor courts of Montpellier. Arribage and Olivetti only made their team debut last September, but the pair has now won three tour-level trophies (Almaty 2025, Auckland 2026, Montpellier 2026).

“It’s an unbelievable week for me and Albano,” said Arribage. “A first win for me in France, so I’m very happy with this title. It was a very tough first match. We lost a set and [were a break down], and faced a point for a double break, so it was not easy. We stayed focused, did our best and we are very happy with this win.”
Olivetti added: “This week, the beginning was very complicated, we had a tough first match. Even the quarters were not easy, and then somehow we played a better rhythm together. We played a very good semi-final, very good final, so we are really happy to win our first tournament in France together. We had good support from the crowd, lots of family and friends here, so it’s a very special week and a special win for us.”
The French duo let slip all five break points it earned in the first set of Sunday’s final, according to Infosys ATP Stats. Yet Arribage and Olivetti held their nerve in the subsequent tie-break before racing through the second set for a 79-minute championship-match win.
Arribage and Olivetti now lead 3-0 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series with Frantzen and Haase, having defeated the German-Dutch pair in all three of their ATP 250 title runs. The 25-year-old Arribage is now a four-time ATP Tour champion overall, while 34-year-old Olivetti has won five crowns.
