Ross Hutchins and Australian Stephen Huss lost their doubles semi-final on Saturday at Open 13 in Marseille.
Hutchins and Huss, who won their first two matches without dropping a set, were beaten by the French pairing of Arnaud Clement and Michael Llodra 6-2 7-6(2).
In 2007, Clement and Llodra teamed up to win the doubles title at Wimbledon, beating American twins Bob and Mike Bryan in the final.
Hutchins and Huss are searching for their second ATP World Tour doubles title together after being crowned champions in Beijing last September.
