"A lot of great players have won here, so that's why we're happy to have our names on the cup. We are very proud," Gasquet said.

Gasquet beat Sock in the men's singles 6-3 5-7 7-6(6) in an intriguing battle.

But Vandeweghe hit back for the USA in the women's singles, taking it in straight sets, 6-4 7-5.

It was all down to the mixed doubles, and France came through in straight sets again, 4-1 4-3, after a second-set tie-break.

"We came up short today. It's my fault. I'm sorry," Sock said afterwards.
