On the men’s side, the final between Stéphane Rajaonson-Landry Rabezafy and Marin Fontaine-Nante Radilofe was also thrilling, offering a high-level spectacle to Andraharo supporters.

At the same time, the small final between Ah-Waye Gary-Jafetra Rakotovao and Miary Zo Rakotondramboa-Toavina Ratsimandresy was also contested, but it was ultimately Miary Zo and Toavina who triumphed in two sets (4/2, 5/3). The victorious teams were rewarded with significant prizes, with Ar800,000 for the winners and Ar200,000 for the finalists.
